The sun shines through the window, waking all of us up. After getting that text message from Dave, I went back to sleep not wanting to respond or do something about it. I take a look at everyone who start to get up and go to their bedroom.

"Hey Case, where are you going today?" I asked her.

"Work." She answered.

"Oh yeah, of course. My bad." So, here I wanna tell you. We've graduated for almost a year now, the other girls already got a job, but not for me. Natalie works as a model, Casey work in a law firm, and Amber works for her family company. I'm here stuck in front of my laptop, running a travel blog, looking for scholarship, and be there when Dave needs someone to talk to. And soon it's going to change to me still in front of my laptop, watching romantic movies, buying tubs of ice cream everyday, and listening to Hotline Bling on repeat mode. Because Dave is going to marry his best friend. I just love my life.

"Lex, you should go out and looking for a job or just roaming around this city, do something and try to forgot about Dave." Natalie sugests.

"Oh Alex, I snoop through your message and Dave said you need to bring someone to his wedding. Are you going to look for a guy?" Amber asked.

"Umm I was planning to bring one of you guys and say that I've turn into a lesbian." I answered while opening the fridge.

"Too bad we all busy that day. So you gotta find someone." Casey smiles at me somewhat having an evil plan going on in her head.

"Not gonna happen."

"Oh too bad Lex, I've set up a blind date for you. You'll thank me for that." Natalie gives a glorious smile. "Better be ready tonight."

"Oh how much I love you guys." Sarcasm is very visible in every word I said.

I get up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After a long nice shower, I go to my bedroom and change into a plain white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. I take my sling bag, also my black leather boots and my leather jacket. Making my way to the kitchen just to find everyone sitting and eating their breakfast.

"You really need to do something with your style." Natalie said, pointing her fork to my direction.

"What's about it?" I take a slice of bread and spreading some honey on it.

"Guys, won't fall for that." Natalie pointed out.

"Hmmm... if many guys don't like girl like this, maybe they're not the one for me." I give her a small smile.

"But guys who fall for that is only punks." Amber join in the conversation.

"I don't care." I rolled my eyes, just wanting this conversation to end. "Why you guys seems to care anyway?"

"Folks, I'm going now. I think I'm gonna be late, who's going with me?" Casey asked. Natalie and Amber raised their hands as they finished their breakfast.

"Goodbye, Lex. Have a nice day!" They all shouted from the front door.

"Yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes, not caring about having a nice day or not.

As I finished my breakfast, I walk out of my flat, locking the door and go straight to the elevator. The elevator dinged and the door opened, revealing two lovebirds in their teenage years sucking each other face off. Yuck. I decide to wait for the next elevator. It's dinged, the door opens revealing an old couple talking to each other lovingly. I go in and press the "B1" button.

The old couple go out as the elevator stopped on the Ground Floor. And it's just me and myself in this cold elevator. The elevator dinged and I go straight to where I park my motorcycle. Wearing the black helmet, I do look like some kind of rebellious girl. Starting the gas, speeding to a music shop my aunt own. She is my favorite aunt because she's only 38 and still have that young soul. She's a pianist and a businesswoman. Her name is Isla Aethelwyne, she's my dad's youngest sister.
