12 London

It's Friday
You know what that means
Time to ponder the city of London with the boys.

I plug my earphones into my ears and start playing whatever music i felt suited the soundtrack of a cloudy London day.

I pull out my oyster card and join the motion of workmen and women and a few teens with friends and tap unconsciously to get in and out of the gates.

I get to stand in the underground holding a banister by myself. I watch the graffiti and adverts fly past the windows until I see a regular exit at the doors in front of me. I step off into Victoria Station and continue to talk away until I am on the open streets of London left to navigate myself around.

Before I take another step onto the path, I hear my name being called and I turn around to see the two boys walking over to me.

God I forgot how damn tall they were.

"
H

ey," I say to the both of them and they greet me in return.

"What are the plans, boys." I ask. Phil starts listing off a few ideas he had in mind but I am taken aback by the London rush around me.

After three or four years of living here I never get over the thrill of people in the streets going places and having things to do. Everybody has a life a plan -whether it short, like just running to grab milk, or to go to college and take a big exam. It's a rush that I always loved. But can be over whelmed by. 

I remember to return my consciousness to Phil explaining what we were going to do, and acting like I was listening to what he was just saying. I nod and agree and do whatever because I just wanna hang with the boys.

"Sounds great!" I say bouncing on my toes. Dan nods and rubs his hand togethe.

"Let's start then." He announces. I admire him for a second before he starts walking ahead of me.

"Coming, aren't you?" He jokes smiling and grabbing my hand to quickly pull me along until we walked side by side.

We sit in a friendly eco cafe that I used to always go to.

We get ourselves some warm beverages and find a place to sit.

"Where's Sally?" He asks. I quickly sallow my drink and sit up.

"Work," I say nodding. Why am I nodding. I should drop nodding. 

"Really? What's she working as?" He asks. I smile and look at Dan.

Why asking so many questions, Phil?

"Just a cash register girl. Mostly behind the counter stuff at this veggie cafe. She counts groceries and helps with costumers and things, but very little actually waitressing." I smirk. Phil nods, and Dan takes another drawn out sip of his drink.

"Not great youtuber income then?" He asks.

I shake my head again, "on either of our parts not really. But she's got lots of student debt and whatnot but I didn't take proper college courses so I'm a bit more fortunate. Also put flat is cheap enough and can usually get by with rent." I say taking another sip of my drink and slouchng back down.

The boys sit and talk amoung themselves while I usually stayed a bit more quiet, not interfering with they bro chemistry.
