April Charm Alvarez. 17. Student. YouTuber. Artist. Filipino.
Yes, that is my real name. No I was not born in April.
3:15 - bell rings
I get up from my History desk, gather all of my stuff, leave, you know, what you usually would do after any class period.
I go into my car drive to StarBucks and start to do my homework. Hook up my charger to the outlet near the table I always sit at, see if my wifi is connected and take out all of my stuff from my backpack that I need.
My usual after school routine.
"April Charm!" I hear the barista call out and a drink is waiting for me with my name and a smiley face.
"Thanks Sass, do I have to pay?" I start to get out my wallet, even if he didn't say anything yet.
Elijah "Sass" Jaxz. Barista. Proud to be gay. Also proud to be black. Literally screams "proud to be a black gay" everyday.
"Bitch, this is on the house no need to pay, I gotchu gurl." Sass grabs the whipped cream and sprays some into his mouth.
Laughing, I take the drink and give him a peace sign in return of the free drink. I return to the table and text my friends and cousin who usually meet me here.
I text my cousin first, Lyric.
Lyric Alvarez. My cousin. 18. Same grade as me. Also lives with me. Likes FOB.
ME : where are u man
LYRIC : I'm coming
ME : okie what drink do u want
LYRIC : I LIKE CARMEL FRAP AND JAVA CHIP
ME : okie so which one
LYRIC : You choose for me
ME : which one
LYRIC : You choose for me
ME : wHICH ONE
LYRIC : YOU CHOOSE FOR ME
So I get up go to Sass, and order Lyric a Carmel Frap, AND a Java Chip Frap. She told me to choose so I chose both. HA.
"I thought only Lyric likes these drinks" Sass said while making them.
I start to grab my wallet. "Well, she does, she said she liked both and told me to choose. So I did, I chose to order both"
Sass gave me some kind of "you little sneaky spy I like you" look and then laughed. "I'm just going to make you pay six dollars because you're hilarious"
"Hah, psh I know I am" I pull out ten bucks and in return get four. Then I text Layla.
Layla Paislee. Chinese. 17. Gets mistaken as my sister 24/7.
ME : are u coming to starbies
LAYLA : i have to go somewhere today with my mom.
ME : aw okie
LAYLA : it's for a party SORRY
ME : it's okie
Oh by the way, I'm not a 'white girl' because I go to Starbucks everyday after school with my friends. Starbucks actually has good wifi and a funny barista. Also, some cute boys may walk in at anytime so I mean it's great.
I open my folder grab out an English paper that's almost finished. Our topic was "A Trouble in the World" and my topic was racism and feminism. A strong topic and deep conversational topic but it always has been a controversy on the news and even social media. Only one more sentence and then I have to type it up, print it, and turn it in. WOO.
As I put a period at the end of the sentence stating why this was such a controversial topic Lyric walked through the doors and went to our table. I put my English paper away, that will be typed up tomorrow and hand her, her two drinks.
"What is this, Layla doesn't drink coffee" her facial expression was identified as confused, it was probably the most hilarious thing ever. Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes questioning me about coffee, and her body language screaming "what the heck".
"They're both yours" Sass screams from behind the counter while a customer is paying.
"What" Her facial expression seemed to be on her face for a while and then she shrugged it off. "Oh well one for tonight". She gets out her homework and finishes it in like 5 minutes.
Not looking up Lyric asks me "Where's Layla?"
"Something with her mom"
"Oooh, okay" She takes out another worksheet.
We both work on our homework asking questions about a certain topic helping one another and then we finish at about 4.
"What do you want to do now" Lyric asks.
"LETS HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY" I kind of yell, almost no one was in there besides Sass, Lyric, and I and maybe one other person.
"Dude" She says.
"What" I say.
"BUT WE ALREADY LIVE WITH EACH OTHER" she says while laughing.
"No no no" an epic idea comes to mind, "what if we both have a Netflix marathon in the living room and sleep there for the rest of the night and eat snacks and stuff, wouldn't that be fun."
Emphasis on 'fun'.
"Let's do it" She says sipping what is the last of her Carmel Frap.
"YAY" I yell. "YAY YAY YAY YAY"
"But it's only 4:03 right now"
"Then let's go shopping" I say.
"HOT TOPIC?" Excitement builds up in her face.
"YES"
"LETS DO THIS" I stand up.
"Wait we have two cars what what what" Lyric thinks first about all this stuff but we all know we just want to go have fun.
"Hmm, okay so first we go home drop off our homework, school stuff, bags, or anything else. We set up for the slumber party and then we leave to go to the mall. We then eat dinner at McDonald's and get extra fries for the slumber party and then go to Target or somewhere and buy snacks and actual food for the fridge because our fridge is a ghost town. Deal?" I look at her dead in the pupil.
"DEAL LETS GO"
