11: starbucks encounters

lilah's pov:

another friday went by, but this time i remembered most of it. thankfully, i didn't wake up in a strangers bed and my headache wasn't that bad.

i knew for a fact joselyne went with a guy, dropping me off first and making sure i actually walked in safely to my apartment.

when i finally decided to get out of bed and taking some pills, i grabbed my phone and plugged it in.

it had turned off completely last night and either way, it's not like people were dying for me to text them or call back.

i decided on going out alone today. i've been craving starbucks recently and today was my chance.

i took my sweet time getting ready, as i had the whole day for myself. and let's be real, i can't leave with my phone not fully charged.

as i waited for it to charge, i put my long brown hair in a high pony tail. i put on some lipgloss and added mascara to pop out my hazel eyes.

i put on my grey ripped crop top, some ripped at the knees skinny jeans, my favorite shoes and my small creme bag.

i looked at myself in the mirror one last time, i grabbed my phone and walked out of my apartment.

i locked the door and made my way to the elevator.

i decided to walk today, since it was a great day and i just felt like it.

i walked out of the building and captivated my surroundings. the sun was out, there was hardly any people walking around, and the sweet aroma of coffee engulfed me.

thankfully, there was a starbucks near my apartment complex. it was a small one, but it was great for me. always silent, there was hardly any customers and the workers were genuinely nice.

i walked for a few more minutes and arrived at the coffee shop. i ordered my usual, a java chocolate chip frappuccino.

i sat down in a corner window seat and happily sipped on my drink.

i turned on my phone and opened the twitter app, liking and retweeting things that i saw on my timeline.

from the distance i heard guys my age by hey violet play, and i started humming to the song. it was one of my new favorites, it had a melanie martinez and halsey feel to it.

i felt my phone vibrate, revealing a kik notification.

it was no surprise who it was, ilovejoseph.

i laughed silently at his username, i still hadn't gotten used to it.

ilovejoseph: how are you feeling?
