It's been over a week since I've been robbed. Luckily, I've had about $200 saved up, but I blew that through. I groaned as I kicked myself out of bed and into the shower. As I'm conditioning, I ponder deeply.
I needed a job. Especially during college. How else was I going to pay for common necessities? I couldn't just keep pooling into my bank account the way I was. I was going to run out of money eventually.
After what seemed like hours, I finally turned the water off and got out the shower, with a towel wrapped around my wet body. I quickly moisturized my body, brushed my teeth and applied deodorant in between. I put on a grey sweatshirt, some jean shorts, and my converse. I didn't bother with makeup except making my lips smooth. I put my hair in a low messy side ponytail that stretched over my right shoulder. I grabbed some studs and stuck them into my first piercing, grab my purse with my needed items, and left.
Both my parents were working and I was going to head to college to check in, even though it was only the last week of June. I was just going to tour the campus and get a feeling driving there and back for future references. Before beginning the journey, I ate a quick bowl of oatmeal, brushed my teeth again and locked the door.
When I finally arrived at Albany Law School, which took just over two hours to get there, I first opened a map of the school and the general area. I circled the campus at least twice, getting familiar and comfortable with the neighborhood. My feet grew soar after the second lap and I decided to stop for something to eat and drink before heading back down. I parked my car in the lot in front of a nearby Starbucks before going in.
I sat down at a table in the far corner of the little shop, resting my purse on top, closer to the window. I pulled out my phone and texted both my parents my location before calling Roxy.
"Hey what's up?" she wondered.
"Hey. I'm at ALS. Well, I'm at the Starbucks they have here on campus."
"Oh, sounds cool." She hardly sounded interested. I must have interrupted her time with her boyfriend.
"Yeah. So, what are you doing?"
"I'm actually at the dealership buying a car. I figured I'd need a car especially while I'm at school."
"Yeah no, of course. What kind of car?"
"Um, it's a Chevy."
"Cool, what color?"
"Red of course." I laughed. It slipped my mind that red was her favorite color. It was her favorite because she always wore it and it looked great on her. "Um, can I call you back? I'm getting ready to test it out and you know?"
"Yeah of course. I don't want you to get an accident. I'll see you later?"
"Sure. Talk to you later Iz."
"Bye."
I smiled and placed my phone on the table before taking out my hair and letting it flow down my back and shoulders. I looked up to see an employee. He had chestnut brown hair and green eyes. His biceps easily shown through his white t-shirt and he's about half a foot taller than me.
"Hi welcome to Starbucks. How can I assist you today?"
"I'll just take a medium iced tea and a grilled cheese please." He wrote down my request on a small notepad before nodding and heading to the cook. I smiled as he walks away but sighed right after. I guess I could call Staci, but she's most likely with Sebastian. I decided to text Grayson. I haven't spoken or seen him since graduation.
Hey.
Hey, what's up?
Just saying hi. Haven't seen you in a while.
