"Aria... Ariaaa.. Wake up." Wait.. Banana's don't talk, and they also can't push people.

I open my eyes and groan finding out its not a banana, It's just Zoey pushing me to wake me up from my strange dream. I was just about to find out what the banana did to the other banana, it was all beaten up and brown. Its like a habit of mine to have crazy weird dreams when i fall asleep somewhere unfamiliar. Dont gudge.

"Finally, I've been trying to wake you up for like five minutes." she said, "you are a heavy sleeper."

"Sorry..." I let out a yawn before continuing, "I was have strange dreams."

"Is that why you were mumbling in your sleep 'what did the banana even do to you... evil banana!'?" she laughed as she mocked my sleep talking.

"Why did you wake me?" Changing the subject.

"We just landed and we need to get off or the pilot will get mad." she rushed out of her seat and opened the overhead compartment to get her stuff out. I speeded out of the seats but it wasn't easy to get out when you are beside a window. Finally I squeezed out of the small lane and grabbed the purse and bags that I brought on the plane, rushing to catch up to Zoey who was already out the door. I pull out my phone to check the time, its only 5 in the morning, at least I slept on the plane.

"Hey are you going straight to the Apartment?" I asked to see if we were going to take the same taxi.

"No, I gotta go to the university and get my schedule for my summer classes, but i'll see you later. Text me your room number." She said digging through her purse looking for her phone.

"Okay." We exchanged number before we went our separate ways. Now all I got to do is call a taxi and get to the apartment to settle in before I do anything else.

"Hello, Welcome to Point West, how may I help you miss?" the Front Desk Clerk asked me when I walked up to her. Her name tag said her name was Kelly. She has long blond hair in curls and has big brown eyes. She was around 20 and sending a forced smile to me.

"Hi, I'm renting an aparment here. Arianna Harrison." I said politely as she nodded and put the information in the computer but then she gave me a dirty look as if she's telling me that she doesn't believe me. Or that I belong here.

"Miss. Harrison. Your will be staying in room 76.." she paused, looking shocked at the information appeared on her old computer screen,"on the top floor, some of our best aparments."

She looked at me weirdly and I got the urge to snap at her attitude.

What? Didn't think I had the money stay here honey?

And doing so with all the sass I had in me, but knowing how I could never say that to someone due to my shyness. I hid my real emotion under my smile and walked away dragging all my bags behind me awkwardly after taking the keys from her.

Stepping into the elevator at the end of the hall and pushed number 15. The classical elevator music played quietly as i started tapping my foot impatiently while waiting for my floor. I was never a fan of classical music, more less in an elevator.

The elevator door slid opened with a 'ding' once it reached my floor. Walking out of the elevator and found a sign that tells me which direction to go. Walking quietly and the sound of the suitcase rolling on the carpet, I finally got to my room near the end of the hall.

Once I opened the door and walked in I dropped my bags and gasped lightly at the surroundings around me. How did Daniel trick me into getting this expensive looking aparment? It must have cost a foutune. No wonder the front desk lady was giving me the sink eye. How did I even have the money? Daniel was the one who made all the arrangements.

Getting settled in, I put my clothes away in the dresser and closet. Now i need food. might as well go out for Breakfast and then stop by the grocery store and get some simple food for breakfast and lunch so I won't have to go out for every single meal of the day. While i'm at it, might as well walk around and try to find a job so I can keep having money on this trip and won't go broke.

Leaving the hotel with my phone and small wallet, I take the elevator down to the lobby and walk out the hotel doors. I start walking around near the hotel, about 5 minutes of walking I came across starbucks.

Once i got inside starbucks and got myself a caramel frapp and a applefritter scone, i took a seat by the watched cars drive by. I pulled out my phone from my back pocket and checked my texts. I got one from Daniel, so i decided to call him. After about 3 rings he picked up

"Hey little sis, how london?" Daniel said as he picked up the phone.

"I've only been here for an hour, i haven't done much sight seeing."I responded with a laugh. "I was thinking that after I finish eating breakfast I would go look for a job." I told him  taking a sip of my frapp and a bite out of my muffin.

"You know i could always put money on your card, so you have money at all time. You don't have to get a job, you should be enjoying your time in london not working. You should be making friends, going to parties, getting drunk, and having a great time."  And by 'great time' he probably ment sex.

"I dont wanna spend your money, You worked for that money and i want to work for mine. I will be having fun, dont worry about me."

"Fine, If you insist on getting a job, make it a fun one, you dont know how many days you will be working a week." Daniel responded

"Okay, i will. Again, Don't worry about me, i will be fine. Thanks for the advice!"

"Anytime little sis, sorry to say, but i have to go. I promised i would take Natalie out for lunch. Bye."

"Bye Daniel." I hung up, finished my frapp and muffin and walked out of starbucks.  Whilewalking along the street, I turned my head and saw a 'NOW HIRING' sign for a Bar/Nightclub. Daniel did say to get a fun job, why not a bar tender? It could be fun, right?

I walked across the street and stood outside the Bar rethinking to see if this is a good idea. Whats the worst that could happen? You could not get the job and have to get a boring one... my subconscious told me. I finally walked in and saw a woman at the bar table cleaning,

"It's a bit early for a drink hun." the woman told me

"I know, I just wanted to apply for a job."
