Just Friends?

Chapter 2

Right now I'm preparing for an interview at the local coffee shop, The Friendly Bean.  They have the best coffee in the world... okay maybe being dramatic, but their coffee really is amazing. I really hope I get this job for two reasons:

1. I'm broke.

2. Their's this really cute barista there named Justin.

And before you ask, no, I'm not one of those girls who's boy crazy, but I would really like boyfriend. I'm 16 and have only had one relationship, and that was a one week middle school relationship, it doesn't count. But, aside from my love life, or lack of, I really could use the money. I'm always in need of something for theatre and plays that I participate in and instead of begging my parents and Houston for money, might as well make my own. My outfit consists of a knee length, black skirt, white blouse, and simple back heels. I love dying my hair and right now I'm a ginger, so I pull up my hair into a half up, half down look (above), put light make up on, and grab my wallet and keys.

"Levi! If you are taking me to this interview, get your ass down here!" Levi begged for me to let him take me to the interview, he loves their coffee so he jumped at the chance to go.

"I'm coming! Don't you dare leave without me!" All this yelling is followed by a loud thump. " I'm okay!" He finally descends the steps muttering a quick 'not like anyone asked', and runs toward the door. "Are you coming? Gosh why are you so slow?" I roll my eyes and follow after.

The interview went pretty well, and they said I'd hear from them by Thursday.                                       

Right now Houston and I are getting ready to visit our older brother, Charlie, which is short for Charleston, (my parents had a thing for city names),  Charlie goes to Clemson University for an engineering degree. Each of us kids has a savings account set aside only for college when we're born, so college isn't as stressful, money wise, when the time comes; but since he got a full ride scholarship the money was used for an on campus apartment. We live near the campus, so Houston and I visit him once a week and spend the day with him. the only thing different about this trip is Levi's tagging along. He's a senior this year and Clemson is a college he applied to; it's great for him, however not for Houston and me, because now we'll have two guys on us, making sure we don't find any cute guys. 

"You know, you should sit in on Charlie's classes, with him get a real look at what it's like." I offer.

"I don't know if that's allowed." Levi looks at me out of the corner of my eye.

"Of course it is! They did it Gilmore Girls." I say in a duh tone. 

"That's a TV show, of course it's okay in a TV show." He says, throwing his arms in the air... may I add he's driving.

"LEVI!! PUT YOUR DAMN HANDS BACK ON THE STEERING WHEEL!!" Houston screams. "Dumbass." I hear her mumble under her breath.

"Levi," I sigh. "just go to the classes and if you get in trouble just say you didn't know." I say, shrugging my shoulders.

"Whatever, hey am I on the right street?"

"Yeah, you're good, but hey make a left here."

"Why?"

"Cause I want coffee."

"Hey, is it time though?" Houston inquires. There's this group of guys that always study at this ALL IN coffee shop at 11am, it's 10:59am.

"Yup!"

"Time for what?"

"A study session."
