it's been a few days since I arrived and I'm really liking it so far. I haven't really gotten out yet, other than going to the grocery store with my grandma to get food.
I've just been unpacking all my stuff and decorating my room.
But today I decided I was going to go to Venice Beach to go out and do something. I've just been in my room the last couple of days and I needed some time out to hopefully meet new people.

I decided to change into a yellow bikini with roses on it, and black shorts with a white loose t-shirt to go with it, which was kinda sheer so you could see my bikini through it very little

I threw on some white vans and grabbed my backpack, put in a towel, water bottle, sunscreen just in case - all the essentials things for the beach.
I already ate breakfast so I said bye to my grandparents and ordered an uber to drive me there.

(Skipping the uber ride)

The uber driver stops right where it's most busy and I pay the guy and walks out of the car. I go onto the actual path thing and just start roaming around.
After a while, I decided it was time for some Starbucks. Even as weird as it sounds - even though it's summer and it was pretty hot today I decided I wanted a normal hot cappuccino. When I ordered it the lady behind the desk did shoot me a weird look before asking for my name and went on with her day.

I waited a little bit for it to be made and then I finally heard my name being yelled "lavender". I walked up to the little corner and took my lovely hot cappuccino and took a sip. Amazing. I ordered a to go because I thought I would head to the beach afterward. Those plans definitely changed.

I was about to turn around to go after I got my coffee and literally ran into someone. I didn't realize what was happening until I felt the hot coffee spill all over me. I could feel my skin starting to burn and I knew immediately if I didn't get some cold water on it I would get a second-degree burn. Without noticing or looking up at the guy I stormed to the back, to the toilet, stood in front of the mirror, turning the cold water on and taking off my shirt. It wasn't until I looked up I realized the person that I bumped into followed me.
"I am so so sorry, let me buy you a new drink" the guy said. I shook my head no and starting dabbing the paper soaked in cold water onto my burn. "Yes come on - that's the least I can do after what happened" the boy said again.
I again, shook my head no and said: "can you in my bag take out my first aid kit?"
I knew the burning sensation wouldn't stop hurting until I got some cooling pads on it. He nodded and search around my bag until he finally found the first aid kit.
I nodded not being able to speak because of the burning that hurt so much. I finally found some strength to say "take out the cooling pads and peel of the plastic from the back and place them on my chest" I said while saying the last part pointing to my burn area.
He nodded and did so. I could feel he really felt sorry for the whole situation and felt kinda uncomfortable but then kinda comfortable. It was a weird feeling.

After he put them on, I was finally able to calm down and started packing my stuff to leave. I just wanted to go home. Why do something like this always happen to me?!
I could feel the staring on my back when I turned around and for real looked up to the ice blue eyed guy standing in front of me.
I smiled a weak smile and said: "thank you, but I'm gonna go now".
He started panicking a little and said "just let me at least buy you a new drink" - I again shook my head "look, it's fine - it could happen to anyone" I started picking up my bag and started leaving the shop. I could hear him following me and finally, he said "let me at least take you to where you're going then" and looked frustrated. I stopped right when we came out do the door, turned around, looked at him and said: "you're not giving up are you?"
He smiled big and shook his head while saying "nope".
"Look I don't know you, I don't even know your name so why would I even get in a car with you?" I said with a little bit of sass. I was getting tired and I really just wanted to go home.
He got a little surprised by what I said than kinda realizing what I said, he smiled and stuck his hand for me to shake. When I did he said "the name is Grier. Hayes Grier" and started laughing while I let out a small laugh too. I totally knew where took that sentence from. The bond movies. They're some of my favorites.
"Lavender, just let me take you where ever you're going, it's just like an Uber" he Said, and my eyes widen as I hear what he said. "Wait wait wait! How do you know my name?" I said being really confused and concerned. He chuckled when he saw my expression. "You're all over YouTube cutie" he said while giving me a wink at the end. I started blushing a little. Wait. Why am I blushing? I don't even know this guy! "Cmon Lavender, let me take you to wherever you want"
I finally let myself nod my head and follow him.
We come up to a Black Jeep and Hayes opens the door to reveal another guy looking like Hayes with long hair and blue eyes too.
I smile to him when he glances at me and Hayes explains what happened, and introduces me to his brother Nash. Nash looked at my chest worried and asked if I was okay, I nodded and smiled. "I'm just tired and want to go home. Hayes here didn't let me leave by myself so I finally agreed to let him take me home" I explained to him and then I looked at Hayes who was smiling like crazy - probably because he was happy he got his will.

We hopped into the car, I was in the backseat, Nash was driving and Hayes was in the passenger seat. I told them my address and leaned against the window. I could feel my eyes slowly starting to close while I could hear Nash and Hayes small talk in the front. Soon enough everything was dark.
