keep dreaming New York 💋

new city, still pretty

I can't believe it. I finally arrived.
since i was 10, i knew that i wanna live here.
New York, the city of dreams. And the dreams even came true for me at least.
all those skyscrapers look even more special in real life. seeing them from movies or even the plain window didn't feel so real. now it is.
the first thing i have to do after getting off is buying some coffee cus i definitely did not sleep a lot on the flight. then i will get into one of those iconic yellow taxis and pack out my things.
i have an exactly perfect plan for everything and of course always a plan B and C. to have more, makes me feel unsure about my activities so i only make them up if i really really need to.
after all that, i will go for a walk in these beautiful streets of Brooklyn.
guess im a real Brooklyn baby now haha.
after getting my suitcase i happily found a coffee shop behind the next corner.
I liked it because of the pink and white design and coquette kinda furnitures.
I took a place at one of the counter seats and put my bag on the one next to me. just as I let it go someone spoke
"sorry, may I?"
i looked back at the brunette girl who looked my age and smiled back when i saw she did too.
"oh yes of course, sit."
"thank you. btw my name is Jenny, yours?"
i looked a bit surprised because she was the first peron who spoke to me and wanted me to answer. i felt a bit weird because i knew i had a little german accent but making friends will surely improve it so i answered
"my name is Violet. also i love your name its so.., american haha"
"lol what"
she seemed a bit confused and i knew i already had to embarrass myself. typically me.
"im sorry, i just got off the plain from germany. i love america and i wanted to start a new life here so please don't mind these weird things i say"
"whoa calm down hun, it's fine. you are a funny one tho, i like you"
her mouth made a little but true smile.
"so i know this is really like rushed but wanna be friends? i mean i know im weird but i promise im not that bad."
i smirk and then we both start giggling.
"excuse me, do you two ladies want to drink something?"
the waiter interrupted us, but it seemed like he is joking.
"hey Andrey, i dont but my new friend may does."
she looked at me and put her hand on my shoulder.
"oh well i'd actually like to drink some iced coffee, if you have some."
"yupp, that's it?"
"mhm i think yes."
when the waiter boy was gone, Jenny bursted out laughing.
"gosh, sorry Violet that's just my boyfriend Andy he was kinda joking. don't worry tho he is really nice, you'll be friends too!"
"oooh!"
i made an embarrassed smile.
"so what school are you going to? i mean you look my age so i guess you still go to school, right?
"oh yea, jude's school is the name."
"WHAT!? me too!"
"omg im so happy, i would be so lost"
"dont worry girly imma make you the new star!"
we both laugh.
after i fished my coffee i wanted to say bye to Jenny and Andy but she stopped me.
"i dont even have your numer duh!"
"oh yea that would be a good idea haha."
after we exchanged numbers i really get going because it was pretty late already.
„so see you at school!"
„bye!"
„bye!"
after i unlock the apartment door it feels like getting home, even tho i have never been here before. the room is really gorgeous and the furnitures are exactly my taste. im living in a house with other senior year girls who moved here from other countries. we share the kitchen and the 2 bathrooms. i wanted to get to know them today but i was so tired that even the coffee couldn't keep me awake anymore. i woke after my nap and it was already 19:00. now that i wasn't tired i put on some jeans and a sweater to discover my new „home". after knocking on every door of the girls who share the house with me i figured out that the probably went out since it's a Friday evening. i wondered if i should text jenny because i really didn't have much to do and i was sure that she was still awake. i ended up calling because i did not want to wait for a text response.
„heyy its me Violet, i was wondering if you wanted to-„
„yesss!! me, my boyfriend, his brother and some other friends of mine are going to a bar. you must come now, no excuses!"
„well okay, sure. where is the bar?"
„i will pick you up, just give me your address, you shouldn't walk around in a foreign city at night."
„thanks Jenny, i will send you the address right away! bye."
„bye *mwa*"
after i sent the message i picked out a cute pink calving klein dress that i saved money for 4 months long. i knew that the people who i am meeting are ritcher and i have to make them like me to fit in. i also love to party and go out, and they probably do it every week.
half an hour later the door bell rang and i immediately hugged Jenny when i opened the door. it felt like we have been best friends for years, which is weird even tho im very good at making friends. i was just happy to have someone to guide me.
in the car which was driven by a private driver, i thought of how the people that Jenny mentioned will be. i only knew her and Andy. i really wamted to know if his brother is just as funny as him because that would make me like him immediately. he has to be a bit more attractive tho because Andrey is not my type.
when the car stopped, i was nervous to get out but Jenny went first to make it less hard for me.
„come on girl, they will love you!"
that didn't really give me much confidence and i didn't like that. back in germany i was the popular, confident but kind girl and here i felt like a fool.
all these glamorous people around me fascinated me a bit too much.
„hello, you must be the little german girl."
a guy with a smirk suddenly stood infront of me and stared into my soul. he was attractive to be honest.
„yea i am, my name is Violet."
„i know sweetie, Jenny didn't shut up about „her new friend" for an hour. but my name is charles."
he nodded with that smirk again and turned away from me.
"heey, so how is Andy's brother?"
the question that Jenny asked me seemed sarcastic and i knew why. Charles was the attractive, flirty kinda guy who thought he can get every girl that he wants.
"better than my ex."
"i take that as a good."
Jenny smiled at my answer and we ended up giggling about it again.
"well Violet you should talk to hime more, maybe he actually likes you."
"if you say so"
i really didn't know what to do now that Jenny went looking for her boyfriend, so i decided to look after Charles.
i saw him standing at the bar counter with an empty wine glass, waiting for his next drink. i touched his shoulder to make him turn around.
"hey i wouldn't have looked for you if i would have anyone else to talk to but now that im here tell me something. are you an alcoholic or something?"
"excuse me, i don't know why that would be any of your business but i would love to talk."
"okay whatever, are you going to Jude's School, or how old are you?"
"yes i am, and my age is the same as yours unless im right about you being 17."
the way he talked made me giggle a bit.
"what is so funny Violet?"
"mh nothing."
i smiled and this time i looked into his eyes at the same time. now he smiled back but not with the smirk that i already knew. it was a real smile.
"so these germans really seem to like me huh? my last two exes were from germany too but they weren't nearly as breathtaking as you."
"excuse me?"
i laughed a little again.
"oh i know you like me, every girl does who looks at me like that."
"like what exactly?"
"you know."
i smiled again.
„so, Violet do you want me to show you around in here? there are some nice guest rooms that my father made here. he owns this place by the way."
„well okay, why not."
i smirked at his words again and was a bit surprised when he took my hand.
we went through the crowd and then arrived in a hall with a lot of hotel room doors.
„which one do you like?"
he put his hands on my waist and his face got closer.
„i-„
he kissed me on all sudden and i couldn't do anything but enjoy and kiss him back.
we didn't stop and entered one of the unlocked doors. inside there was a mirror, a little table and a bed. the room was also full of glamorous decorations and a chandelier. i didn't think, just got on the bed where he already laid down. i did this before with my ex boyfriends but never so rushed. i only knew Charles for an hour and now we already had to make out in some guest room of his dads bar. i lost my mind and its only my first night in this city.
"i love your little german accent too"
he whispered in my ear.
the night felt incredible and i forgot everything what was before and after.
in the morning, or we can say at noon, i woke up in a strangers bed that was not mine and not the one i fell asleep in. i assumed that it was Charle's and i was so mad at my self when i thought of that.
lucky he wasn't the one walking into room some minutes after i woke up.
"i gotta say good job girl, you managed to fit in here."
Jenny seemed proud of my action last night but i felt the opposite.
"oh my gosh, how did that happen?"
"well i think you and Charles got along pretty well."
i made a face that is typically me and got up.
„thank you jenny, really."
„no deal that's pretty much my job as your new friend now."
we laughed again but it's true.
„can i go home?"
„what? no! you should stay. i mean, what would you do all day without me? without us?"
„us?"
„me and the girls planned shopping for today and you will come with us now, that you are part of our group."
„i really shouldn't spend my saved money so fast"
i hoped that jenny's reaction is cool but she scared me a lot.
„excuse me??! i will pay, that is girls shopping about. every year before school starts we go shopping from my parents money."
„whoa..that's not what im used to"
„you will be. now get up!"
she gave me some nice chlothes to wear and we did our makeup together. I really needed a friend like Jenny not to be lost in New York.
when we were ready, i picked up my bag that i had with me yesterday, and luckily still found my phone and key in it.
the shopping trip was awesome and i got so many designer chlothes, that i didn't worry at all about being judged for my closet anymore. I've always loved this glamorous life style and decided to work hard on giving my future kids a teen life like this. seems like i can live it myself thaks to my new best friend.
the girls told me a lot about the school and they gossiped about everyone i know here. they also told me about that website named „gossip girl" , where every kind of rumours can be spread and even with photos as proof. Sounds fun until you are not someone to read about right?
when i got into my apartment, logged into the website and put my phone on the charger, i grabbed my purse and went shopping some groceries. i didn't have food by me, except some cookies and chips from the flight. i didn't eat a lot anyway, so a little money was enough to bring.
i went home with milk, some tea, and toast with all the ingredients for a sandwich.
after having early dinner, i finally wanted to get to know my "roommates".
i was happy when the first door i knocked at opened, and a ginger girl smiled at me.
"hello, are you new here?"
she was talking in a slavic accent so i asked where she is from
"yes i am, my name is violet. also where are you from?"
"oh beautiful name! im Yana and i'm originally from Russia, but moved here from Italy. i like to explore countries."
she seemed very kind but not the "my type of friend". she would probably shut the doorclse in front of my nose, if i told her about last night, so i told her about germany instead.
"that seems like a beautiful country, i will visit it for sure!"
"well its pretty boring actually but maybe you would like it."
i heard her door ringing from inside.
"oh god im sorry Violet, my parents just arrived to see me before school. i guess i gotta go and open the door haha. but see you soon!"
"yea bye."
im a little upset and when i think about meeting Charles tomorrow, im even more upset. I hate him and i don't know why. i mean i had fun...
i call Jenny to just chat a bit and to pass the time. she is at a family party, celebrating the new school year.
i'm not invited but that's okay because i know that the person who i don't want to see at all is there. guess i should get some sleep now.
