Paper Airplane [s.m]

Five

I roll out of bed at noon the next day. I guess Daisy didn't see the point in trying to wake me. I'll just stay home from school and go to work later.

"Aunt June?" I ask as I walk out to the living room.

"Yeah?" She asks and closes her laptop. She's a fashion designer with a very successful company but lately sales have been harsh.

"Can you walk with me to work? It's kinda far and I don't want to get lost." I ask.

"Oh yeah sure, but I'm kinda busy so just tell me when we need to leave." She tells me and opens the top of her laptop again. I nod and walk back to my room. I guess I could talk to Dylan. We haven't talked much lately and I don't like it.

Roni- hey

Dylan- I'm in class Veronica

Roni- you can't talk?

He never replies. He only calls me Veronica if he's stressed or irritated with me. I don't understand what's made him so distant lately. Did I say something before I left? I haven't been gone for very long.

I think that lunch break is happening right now so I could text Alex.

Roni- Hey

Alex- hey, where are you?

Roni- I woke up late and didn't come to school :/

Alex- ah okay.

Roni- guess who I ran into last night?

Alex- who?

Roni- some guy named Shawn Mendes. He's a singer or an actor I think.

Alex- holy cow he's really famous.

Roni- holy cow?

Alex- yeah my mom reads my texts.

Roni- your 17 years old Alex.

Alex- she doesn't care.

Roni- lol but are you working tonight?

Alex- yeah, you?

Roni- yep 4pm-7pm

Alex- same see you then!

Roni- yep you too.

At 3:30, me and my Aunt leave the apartment. We talk about her new designs on the way to the hotel. She's thinking about a halter-jumpsuit that you could wear during summer without getting hot or sweaty. She says that most jumpsuits that have full length pants make you uncomfortable but that shouldn't be the case.

We arrive at the hotel 5 minutes early so I head back to the locker room and put my bag into my locker. Alex comes in a minute late but nobody notices.

For a few hours all I do is take sheets off of beds and clean hotel rooms. I deliver room service a couple times but mostly just cleaning. It's an easy job and I work with Ales the whole time since I'm new. We only separate once so that she can deliver room service.

When she gets back she has a huge smile on her face and she walks right up to me.

"Guess who I just delivers food to." She says looking smug.

"Who?" I ask, folding towels.

"Shawn Mendes. The famous fellow you saw the other night." She smiles.

"Seriously?" I ask giving her my full attention.

"If he orders anything tomorrow, I'll send you up." She says with a wink.

"You're ridiculous." I roll my eyes.
I'm not interested in him, I just think it's a coincidence that he's staying at the hotel I'm working at. I'm definitely gonna take this opportunity though because I can't deny that he's gorgeous.

After work, I go straight to bed despite it being pretty early. I have school and work again tomorrow and I need my sleep. I have to get into a pattern.
