Adriana and Amelia

You can picture them as you desire

You can be young once but you can always be immature

Natalia's POV

As soon as the manager leaves, I swiftly turn back to Jessi.

"Jessi what are you doing here. "

She looks around suspiciously suspicious before walking to me. She takes out a loud sigh before she says

"In here, am not Jessica, I'm Adriana. Just like you are Amelia. "

"How did you..., "

She starts moving and comes and stands besides me at the counter before she cuts me.

"I heard the manager call you that just some few minutes ago you dummy. "
I slightly turn so that my back is on the counter and I'm facing Jessi. I tilt my head slightly and narrow my eyes at her.

"Why don't you board? I mean I know the admins don't allow you to day unless you have serious issues. "

She takes some calculated steps until she's standing an inch closer to me. She looks around casually before turning to me.

"I leave alone. So in order to pay my fees and bills I have to work. Infant as of tomorrow I'll be coming to work pretty early. "

"What about your parents? "

She once again takes a deep and long sigh, and lazily brushes her arms. She seems distant for some time before finally saying,
"I don't wish to talk about them. "

Before I could say more, a customer interrupts us,

"Hey you, another shot of tequila. "
And with that we go back to work.

************************************

I walked to my room slowly making sure to hold on to the knob so that it doesn't make much noise. I put my keys on my table before opening my laptop. Its around 11:30 so I have 30 minutes to talk with my pen pal,

You must be wondering who does that at this time and age well....

Natalia does!
Don't ask why, this girl is too much conservative.

We don't Skype but we text each other a lot.
I quickly visit his site to find he's already online, seems he's always waiting for me,
I mean its not like he has other people  to talk to.
I see he left tones of messages already so I quickly text back.

"Hae, long day but finally at home. "
It barely takes a minute before he replies.
Now you know why I usually say its like he has no one else to talk to apart from Me.

"Well, I have been waiting for you all day, My classes ended pretty early yesterday.... Are you coming from work this late? "
Mind you, we have different time zones.

"Yes, and I have school early tomorrow but by now I am used to it. Caffeine does it work. ".

This time it takes around five minutes before he replies and I'm tempted to tell him a good day to him since its morning there, but before I could finish with the "day"part his message pops up so I quickly delete mine before reading his.
