Somebody Else -L.H-

"BABY YOU GOT LUCKY CAUSE YOU ROCKING WITH THE BEST AND I'M GREEDY CAUSE I'M SO GREEDY" I hop around the empty cafe, sweeping brush gripped tightly in my hands, using it as my microphone instead of a help to clean, something I had long forgotten to do as soon as Ariana Grande came on shuffle. I usually am not one for pop music but I did like to shamelessly dance around to some now and again.                

A loud bang from outside is enough to stop me dead in my tracks, someone was at the door, of a closed cafe, at 11 at night. I set the brush against the wall and crouch down enough to leave the back room and hide behind the counter of the eating area without being seen. I can hear the continuous banging on the door along with the hammering of the rain outside, Palaye Royale playing behind me from the back room.

I bring my knees to my chest before weighing my options, if it was someone looking to hurt me or rob the store it wouldn't make sense for them to fucking knock on the door would it?

"FOR GOD SAKE MAYE OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"  I jump up to see it is my friend Brooklyn pounding on the door, although it is hard to even tell it was her because of the fact she looks like a drowned rat. I run to unlatch the door and get her in from the rain. "Shit B I'm sorry what the hell were you doing out there anyway?" I frown helping her pull off her jacket.

She manages to push her hair out of her face to give me a deadly glare, "I seem to recall someone begging for a ride home from work, refusing to talk to me unless I did and wait, that was you wasn't it ? The better question is what the fuck are you doing in here ?"  I slap my forehead and groan at my stupidity. "Damnit I'm so sorry let me just grab my coat and lock up then we can stop at McDonalds and grab you a McFlurry?" I offer, she seems
to think it over before giving in "make it a hot chocolate I'm already on the brink of pneumonia here"

"Whatever you want" I smile running to the back room to get my stuff and put everything away. Once we were outside I made sure to open up an umbrella before Brooklyn and I sprint in the direction of her car. "So when are you planning on getting your licence?" Brooklyn starts the car and pulls out of the empty car park and begins to drive in the direction of McDonalds. I roll my eyes, "I have my licence I just don't have a car to keep it company" it was now Brooklyn's turn to roll her eyes at my lame attempt of a joke.

"Fine, then when are you planning on getting your car?" I shrug, pulling out my phone to text Calum, a partner for an assignment for one of my core classes, I hadn't decided what I wanted to study so I decided to get my core classes out of the way first. 

'Any idea for our social studies project? I was thinking we could study the effects of music on the human brain, shouldn't be too hard what do you think ?' 

We had both been paired up for an assignment in our Social Studies class, the topic being 'the effects of ___ on human brain' it could be anything from alzheimer's to pizza so long as you gave your idea in to the professor before all the good ones were gone. We had been given a bit of time to brainstorm with your pair and me and Calum both seemed interested in music so I thought we might as well do something we both like.

Not too long after I felt my phone buzz, unlocking it to see his reply.

'Sounds cool we can talk more about it tomorrow :)'

I grin and set my phone away again just as we pull into the McDonalds drive through. "Hello welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" the woman asks, after Brooklyn orders we drive forward to pay, suddenly I remember.

"Uh hey Brooklyn?" 

"Yeah?"

"I may have left my purse at the cafe"
