Keep Dreaming

Chapter 1: K's Coffee

Amelia's POV

    I wake up to an uncomfortable silence in my house. Looking at my phone, I discover that it's only 5:46 and I don't have to be up for another 34 minutes. Growling, I put my pillow over my face, trying to fall back asleep. I have no luck. Instead, I stand up and decide I should just start unpacking all my stuff into my room.
 
  I grab the first box and pull it open, revealing my extensive collection of shoes. I smile happily and start to stack my shoes on the top shelf in my walk in closet. After finishing that, I walk out of the closet and take a look around my room. A pale rose color covers the walls and clashes with my stark-white bedspread that's covered I'm gold polka dots. I shake my head as I continue going through and unpacking boxes.
 
  At 6:20, my alarm loudly goes off, blaring an annoying horn sound. "Shit!" I hiss, hurrying to turn it off before Aaron wakes up.
   
   Aaron is my brother, who I now live with. And he gets REALLY pissed when he gets woken up before 9. You see, to my brother, anything before nine is an "unreasonable time to be awake."

   I finally turn my alarm clock off and breathe a sigh of relief when I don't hear him screaming at me.

   As I turn the shower on, I look around, becoming aware of the boringness of the bathroom. White walls, white tiles, white counters, and a white shower curtain and shower. I wonder if  Aaron would let me paint in here...

   After my shower, I walk to my closet and grab my box labeled 'clothes' from the floor. I open it and dump its contents out on the floor. After five minutes of looking through the clothes scattered across the room, I settle for my white high rise
shorts and a daisy print crop top.
  
   "I really need some new clothes," I grumble to myself.

   After getting dressed, I go to the bathroom to work on my face. I open my pink makeup bag and root around for my foundation. Here's the thing, I am probably the whitest person alive. In fact, I'm so white that when I go to buy foundation, most of the time the lightest shade is still too dark. But, being the genius I am, I found a fix. I mix in my foundation with a white or cream colored lotion and it lightens it. After applying my foundation, I apply a neutral smokey eye as my eye-shadow, winged eyeliner, the Better Than Sex! mascara, and a neutral lip color. I then lightly curl my hair.

   I make my way downstairs and open the fridge  Remind me to go shopping later, I think to myself. The fridge contains milk, orange juice, eggs, and cheese. So I decide to make a cheesy omelette. After scarfing down my omelette, I run up stairs and grab my white sandals. I slip them on, grab my backpack and keys, then dash out the front door.

   I look at my phone and realize its only 7:30 so I have twenty minutes until I have to be at the school. I decide to stop at the coffee shop down the street. As I pull my light blue VW Beetle into the parking lot, I take note of the emptiness of the parking lot, with only three other cars in it.
 
   Grabbing my wallet, I open my door and get out of the car. When I walk inside, a bell chimes at the door. After looking at the menu for a couple minutes, I walk over to the cashier.

   "Hi," I give her my best smile. " Can I get an iced Chai Latte and a poppyseed muffin?"

   "Sure thing hun," she says, fidgeting with her curly blonde hair. "That'll be $5.80." I hand her six dollars out of my wallet. "You new around here?"

   "Yeah, I just moved in with my brother down the street." I watch her face shift into a confused expression.

   "You don't happen to be Aaron's sister, do ya?" She asks with wide eyes.

   "Actually, yeah. How do you know Aaron?"

   She blushes and says, "He's helped my parents and I out a lot. He actually helped us pay for this coffee shop. Which reminds me, we're hiring if you wanna apply."

   I smile, a little taken aback. "Okay! Yeah, I'll apply, but I'm gonna have to fill it out later because I need to get to school."

   "I'm Katie," she says, handing me my Chai Latte and muffin.

   "Amelia," I say. I look at the time and realize its now 7:45. "Well I gotta get going, don't wanna be late for school!"

   "It was nice meeting you, Amelia!" Katie hollers as I'm rushing out the door.

   "You too, Katie!"
