Aurelia woke up at 9am. She stopped her alarm from beeping as she rubbed her eyes, pulling the warmth of the blanket off of her. She dragged herself to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror intensely. She began to wash her face, brush her teeth and do her makeup! She always loved doing a simple and natural makeup look. As she rummaged through her suitcase which she had not yet unpacked, she found and put on a laced tank top, baggy black jeans, an oversized star hoodie, paired with her same old white shoes. She tucked her neat hair behind her ears and walked out of her apartment, shutting and locking the door behind her.

She wondered the streets until she found a small cafe. She looked through her pockets and began to count a small pile of money. She went up to the front and ordered a black coffee, no sugar, and some jam on toast! As she sat down at her table, she eyed up a boy that looked her age walking through the cafe doors, almost immediately catching her attention.

Her food arrived just as he sat down after ordering his usual coffee. She sipped her coffee, with her eyes still glued to the boy. He looked up and noticed her staring while giving her a warm smile making her quickly turn away. She continued drinking and trying her toast which wasn't too bad!

The boy left his finished cup on the table and just before walking out decided on going up to the girl that he hadn't seen at the cafe before, and not many people go to the cafe so he was excited to maybe make friends with her!

He stopped at her table and she snapped out of her daydream.
"Hello!" The boy said, still smiling.
"Oh hi!" Aurelia replied smiling back.
"Are you new here or have you just never been to this cafe?" He asked her.
"I moved here last night from Spain! I thought this place looked nice for breakfast as I'm only down the road" she told him.
"Ooh! Spain? I love it there! Always so warm.. so pretty too!" He said, as he looked outside at the rain beginning to drip.
"Mhm! I only just turned 18 but my household was too much so I caught a flight here!" She added.
He gasped dramatically. " me and my twin brother, Tom recently turned 18 too!..oh right sorry, my names Bill!" He told her excitedly.
"Oh yeah! My names Aurelia!" She said happily.
"we should hangout again! And maybe you can meet my friends!" He suggested.
"That would be nice! Here's my number!" She replied as she reached for a pen on the cafe counter and wrote her number down on a napkin for him.
"Thanks! Bye Aurelia!" He said before walking out.

As he walked out of the cafe he pulled out his cellphone and typed in her number carefully. "Hopefully she can come over and see Tom, Gustav and Georg soon!" He muttered to himself happily.
He then got into his car, starting the engine and driving home.
Once he got home he was greeted by Tom and Georg eating breakfast.
"Everyone come here!!" He beamed, smiling showing his teeth as Gustav walked in.
"Hm? What's up?" Tom asked.
"Okay so.. I met this girl at the coffee shop called Aurelia! I got her number and she's 18 too!" Bill explained as he looked over at Tom smirking.
"I was hoping to invite her over sometime..but no funny behaviour Tom." He said as he stared at Tom raising his eyebrows at him.
"I'm only joking Bill calm down!" Tom chuckled.
"Alright then! Let's go practice our next song!" Bill shouted as they all followed him to their band room.

The music blasted into her ears through her headphones as she closed her eyes humming to her favourite playlist.
She was sat on a bench in the forest beside the cafe.
She opened her eyes snapping out of her own world and got up from the bench, walking towards the path.
"I should probably start thinking of a job. My money from babysitting my cousin before will run out soon considering my rent.." she thought to herself.
She made it back to her apartment, unlocking the door and walking over to her charging laptop.
She turned it on and began looking for jobs she could apply for near her.
She found one not far from her. Only a 8 minute walk to a cute bakery!
She emailed them asking them if she could get a job there, explaining the things she could make and the skills she had.
She sent the message and laid down, kicking off her shoes, taking a small nap.
