Not my Life VA version

Chapter 01

Rose's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep

Ugh. I woke up groaning. If there's a list of things that I hate, the first thing among them would be waking up in the early morning. I mean come on, it's just 6.30. I turned my alarm off and got up from the bed. Yawning and rubbing my eyes slowly I went to the bathroom.

Hmm. A cold shower will help me.

But you'll never be alone

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I'm right here.

I started singing "Dusk till dawn" while showering. Yep. I love singing. After a refreshing shower, I looked at my mirror. Here I am.

Rosemary Nicole Hathaway.

Yes, my name is Rosemary. I'm a 21-year-old university girl. I'm in my last year at the University of LA. I study literature and music. I want to be a writer one day. So many people had a huge problem with my choice. But I love them both. And more than anything I love reading.

I am slightly tan and also I have dark brown hair which falls over my shoulders and reaches my waist. So many people tell me that I'm hot and sexy. Well, that's not a lie. Anyway, let's not talk about it. I have a little group of friends and I don't have a boyfriend. Most of the time I spend alone studying, reading or singing but I do crazy stuff.

Thinking about all of these I got ready. I decided to wear a pink sweater, Black pants and my white sneakers along with my sunglasses.

I applied a little makeup and put my hair into a ponytail. I took my assignment which I finished a week ago, a copy of my book and Pride and Prejudice and put them all in my backpack.

I took my keys and looked around, checking everything before I leave. Making sure that everything is fine I left my house.

Yep, my house. I brought this when I first came to LA. That was about 3 years ago. I was only 18 then. My ex helped me too. This was a broken house so the owner sold it to me without causing a huge problem. Along with some friends I redecorate it. Cost me a fortune but worth it. It is a small house with 2-bed rooms, a kitchen a small bathroom and a very small living room. Even though this is small I love it but it's always messy. It is just a mile away from the university so I always walk. It is my exercise. I usually walk or run, if I want to go somewhere.

Soon enough I arrived at Mandy's Cafe. This is where I always have my meals if I'm not in the mood to make something for myself. Not just that, this is one of the places I work. I work in the evening for 3 hours here.

I work at a library at the weekend. Sometimes I tutor high school students. Just because I study literature doesn't mean I'm not good in any other subjects. I'm good at math, IT and Business. I also know how to speak 3 languages apart from English. French, Italian and Russian. Told you that I'm a nerd.

"Chloe good morning dear! What can I get for you?" That's Mandy. She's in her early 50's and a real sweetheart.

"Good morning Mandy! I'd like to have 3 cheese and bacon sandwiches and a hot chocolate." I told her.

"Sure just wait a minute." She told me.

"Of course," I told her.

"You know I'm opening at his time just because I know that you'll storm in here after having a long night." She told me and laughed.

"Hey come on. It's just 6.45." I told her. She gave me a Yeah-and-that's-early look.

"So how's your book going?" She asked as I sat down.
