I put my freshly dried hair in a pony tail and walked out of my apartment. I wasn't planning on going anywhere exactly, just walking. You're probably wondering who I am, where I'm from, what I do. Well my name is Maria, Maria Steinbeck. I was originally born in Ohio but moved to New York to follow my dreams of becoming a designer. I'm twenty one and I live in a small apartment near the subway. I have long, straight, light brown hair that I usually put in a pony tail, I hate having my hair in my face. I have some curves but I'm not perfect, no one is. I'm not tall or short, I'm a medium, or 5'4 to be exact. The only thing I really love about my self are my emerald green eyes, I wouldn't change them for a thing. So now that you know my story, let's continue shall we?

After waking for nearly eight miles I finally got a but tired and stopped by a coffee shop to rest. I was obsessed with working out, I didn't have crazy strong biceps like some girls but exercise was my way of thinking, I could think straight when I exercised, and I wouldn't over analyze, which I do a lot of. I ordered a coffee and took a seat by the window, looking at the people outside. They seemed so happy, just like how I used to be. My past is something I choose not to talk about, I believe in fresh starts, which is one of the small reasons why I moved to New York in the first place. I just had to get away from it all.

At the corner of my eye I saw Louis, my guy best friend. "LOUIS!!!" I practically screamed, gesturing for him to walk over to me. "MARIA!!!" He screamed back, giving me a hug. We both took a seat, he is an amazing guy and people wonder if we are into each other but there is nothing between us besides pure friendship. We even tried to kiss once to see if it meant anything and the end results were bad, we had to wash out our mouth with soap. "Okay what do you think about the idea of a small get together at my house?" Louis asked, waiting for my opinion. "Depends, who are you planning on inviting?" I asked. "The usual gang, Harry, Liam, Zayn, Sasha, and Julie." Louis explained and I nodded in reply. Those were the rest of my friends, I could trust them all with my life and they could do the same, I just bonded with Louis more than the rest. He was like a brother. "Sounds good." I said with a smile.

After talking for a while I had to go home, I waved goodbye at Louis and walked out if the coffee shop. I didn't own a car since I never really needed one. My house was close to where I worked at, an intern at a fashion place, and all my friends lived near the same street. I opened the door to my apartment which was all the way at the top floor, leaving me with an amazing view. I walked over to the balcony and sat on a chair I had placed there. I always enjoyed admiring New York from up here, I would always get stuck in deep thought. I walked into my bedroom and changed into my pajamas and put my hair in a messy bun to keep it out of my face. I was extremely tired so I hopped into bed and got comfortable. I drifted off into a peaceful sleep...
