Jenni's POV

"Jenni, wake up", someone shook me. I made some sort of in-human noise in response.

"Jenni, it's already 7:30"

That got me to get up. I popped up and sat up on my bed. 

"What do you mean it's alreay 7:30?! My alarm is supposed to wake me up at 6:30!" I exclaimed. Andrea was just standing next to my bed.

"I didn't know that your alarm didn't go off. I would've woken you up sooner but I didn't even realise you weren't awake", she said back.

I got out of bed and ran to my closet. Andrea started walking out of the room and closed the door. 

"Your breakfast is on the counter!" she yelled.

"Kay" I yelled back.

I literally ran around my room looking for peices of clothing to wear. I grabbed my dark blue skinny jeans, blue/maroon/white flannel, a regular white shirt to go underneath, and my white vans which I pretty much wear almost all the time. After I was dressed I ran into the bathroom to finish up. I just brushed out my hair into the natural waves since I had no time to style it. Of course, I happened to have an extremely bad hair day today out of all days, so i just grabbed my maroon beanie that went with the flannel I was wearing. I quickly applied some mascara and chapstick and grabbed my phone. I ran down the stairs in a hurry. I got down to the kitchen were Andrea was waiting holding my car keys and breakfast.

"Thank you", I said breathless, grabbing the items from her.

"No problem, have a good day", she called out.

"You too", I said walking out the door.

I unlocked my car and hopped in. I stuck the keys in the ignition and drove as fast as I legally could. Luckily, the bakery wasn't too far from our house, but I only had around three minutes left until I needed to clock in. I made a sharp turn into the small parking lot. I shoved the rest of my bagel in my mouth and locked the car. I speed walked inside the bakery and clocked in to the little machine we had in the back. Thank god I was only a minute late. I grabbed my apron and tied it around me and began doing my daily job. I rolled out the dough, took orders, frosted cupcakes, the usual. It was fianlly my lunch break so I grabbed a muffin and sat in one of the tiny booths we have. I pulled out a book I've been reading lately called The Fault In Our Stars. Let me tell you, this book will change your life. I put on my blck Ray Ban glasses so I could see better because I'm basically blind without them. I began reading zoned out into the book for a while. It startled me when I heard someone speaking to me right next to me.

"What book are you reading?" I looked up to see my new next door neighbor standing close to where I am sitting.

"Oh, hi. And I'm reading this book called the Fault In Our Stars, it's really good", I said smiling.

"Cool, mind if I sit down", he asked.

"Of course"

He sat down directly across from me in the tiny little booth located right next to the window.

"You work here?" he asked.

"Yeah, just a small part time job for now. I usually just run the cashier and help bake", I said. 

"Cool, are you like on your break right now?" he asked.

"Oh um, yeah I'm on my lunch break", I said.

"Maybe after you're done with work we could get something to eat?" he asked.

"Sure, that would be lovely", I said.
