1 - new flower shop in town

words can't even explain how happy i am! new flower shop. new me. i know that's not really a thing but to me it is! our old flower shop was near a semi-unknown town. it was filled with old people and when i mean old i mean 70-90 year olds who don't even get out of the house.

me and my mom have finally saved up enough money to buy our own flower shop near a busy town and busy street. there is also a beach 2 minutes away from there.

being a florist seems like a boring job but not to me. i have strange goals and dreams that i want to accomplish one by one and owning a flower shop myself is one of them. i know.. it's a bit weird.

i just love the feeling of being around flowers. they give me a happy vibe. i sound like a hippie but i promise i'm not.

i just want to grow old and be surrounded by flowers. that's all.

"i'm so excited mom!" i say happily outside of our new flower shop.

"me too honey." my mom tells me kissing my forehead.

we've already unpacked most things. we have a 2 bedroom apartment and the rooms are surprisingly big. all i need to do is unpack my clothes in my closet and go grocery shopping for my mom.

- 6pm -

me, my mom, my dad, one of my moms closest friends and two of my dads friends helped us unpack everything and set up everything in the house.

"sweetie could you please go grocery shopping now?" my mom asks.

i nod. "send me the shopping list."

she nods okay and hands me $50 for groceries. i'm only buying a little bit of groceries because my mom said it'll be too hard to carry back home if i buy it all at once.

i do downstairs to where the flower shop is. i'm so happy. i take a deep breath in as i smell the fresh air and i walk outside.

the grocery shop is very close. around a 2 minute walk. i love living here. everything is so close.

- at the grocery shop -

my mom sent me the list. white slice bread, milk, junk food, vegetables, fruit, cereal and eggs.

we have a lot of other groceries that we brought from our old house that we didn't need to throw away such as nutella, oil, spices and all that jazz.

as i'm walking to the isles i accidentally hear this group of teenage boys behind me.

"yo brandon i bet you can't get that chicks snap." a guy tells his friend.

i roll my eyes knowing that they're talking about me.

"pfft. any girl would beg for my snap." brandon i'm guessing says cocky.

i roll my eyes again. i get what i need and walk away.

i hear jogging coming my way. "hey hot stuff."

i look him up and down. "umm hi." i say and try to walk away.

"hey hey not so fast." he says going in front of me.

"yes what do you want?" i ask knowing what he's going to ask.

"i think you're really hot." he says.

"is that all?"

"can i get your snap?" he asks smirking and looking at his friends.

"no thanks. i'm seeing someone." that was a lie.

"for real?"

i nod.

"bye." i say and walk away and continue my shopping.

his friends are laughing at him and i just want to get away.

- at home -

"i'm back." i call bringing the bags of groceries back.

there was only 3 bags so it wasn't that much.

"just put it on the table and i'll pack it up." my mom tells me.

"okay." i say happily and go to my room.

(A/N ella is in her junior year of school and she's starting school at her new school on monday. it's saturday today.)

- morning -

i wake up from my alarm because i have to open the florist today. i can't wait!!

i quickly get out of my bed and put on a yellow sundress with white polar dots on it. i pair it up with some white slip on vans, put my hair down and put on some light makeup on.

i go to the kitchen and make myself some cereal.

i can't wait for my first day!!
