*Coral's P.O.V*

I awoke to the sound of my alarm going off. Groaning, I reach over and grab my glasses. The clock on my night stand flashed 6:30 a.m. Ugh, I exhale as I hit the off button. I just want to go back to sleep. Grabbing my phone off of the night stand I start going through my notifications. One stood out to me.

Josh 👽:  Good morning Coral 😊

Awww. Wait? This wasn't dream! Yesterday was real!

A big smile spread across my face as I thought back to spending the day with Ryder and Josh yesterday. I quickly text back.

"Good morning Josh 😊"

Okay, it's time for me to get ready for work. I work at a consignment shop downtown. I absolutely love my job! My boss is the sweetest lady I've ever met. She treats me like her own daughter. My coworkers are great too. But because we are a small shop I usually work by myself during the week.

I grab a pair of light skinny jeans from the closet and a cute and slightly fancy crop top and lay them out on my bed. I grab my towel and head to the bathroom. (Pictured in the header) I turn on the water to let it get hot before I jump in. I take off my clothes and look at myself in the mirror.

I'm not the skinniest person or even remotely skinny at all but I love my body.  Every stretch mark is a part of my past. I haven't always been proud of them but they show who I was and what I've been through.

I turn on Pandora and "Driftwood" by Cody Simpson comes on first. I test the water to make sure it's hot enough. It stings my hand a tad bit so I know it's perfect. I quickly jump in.

"I gotta free my soul from the troubles of lately.Follow my heart wherever it takes me.
Let it flow on by like a piece of driftwood" I sing out with the song performing a nice little concert for my shampoo and body wash.

Stepping out of the shower I wrap up in a towel and wrap my hair too. Moving over to the sink I pull out my tooth brush and tooth paste. As I brush my teeth I dance along to the songs playing. When I finish I put my contacts in and finally everything becomes clear.

Boy, I'm so blind

I quickly finish up in the bathroom and put my clothes on. Sitting down at my vanity I grab my earrings and put them in. I don't have much makeup. If I even wear any it's typically just mascara or lipstick. I decide to pass on makeup today.

Picking up my phone I check the time. It's 7:30. I  notice a notification.

Josh 👽: hey, are you doing anything today?

"Yeah, I have to work today. Why?" I respond as I slip on my sandals. Josh responds almost immediately.

Josh 👽: Oh, I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out or something. Where do you work??

"I'm sorry 😐 I work at the consignment shop downtown" Hmm, I wish I could spend the day with Josh again. I haven't had as much fun as I did yesterday in a long time.

I grab my keys and head out the door. I unlock my silver Volkswagen Beetle. VW Beetles have always been my favorite. I pull out of the apartment complex and head to work.

*Josh's P.O.V.*

I ended up waking up around 6 a.m. I'm still on the sleep schedule for tour. Tossing and turning I just can't seem to find a comfortable position. Finally giving in to the fact that I'm not going to be able to go back to sleep I grab my phone and text Tyler to see if he's awake yet.
