My alarm clock blares off in the early morning the time is 6:01 A.M. , I slowly sit up as i click the "Dismiss" button on my phone to stop the alarm. As i get up out of bed i start to scroll through my social media feed before going through my clothes in my closet and grabbing a blue plaid button up shirt and pair of tan cargo pants before making my way to the bathroom and hopping in the shower. 15 minutes later I get out of the shower and dry off before putting on deodorant and brushing my teeth as i move to the sink and mirror and stare at myself "alright Jay you're gonna have a good day" i say aloud to myself before chuckling softly and letting out a sigh "this... this is sad" he says before getting his razor and starting to shave his 3 day grown mustache and beard. After he finishes shaving I walk out to my kitchen and get myself a bowl a banana and scarfing it down before walking over and putting my shoes on and grabbing my bag and heading out of my apartment. Of course i lock my door behind me as i head out towards the elevator, as i reach the elevator i notice an 'out of order' sign on it, i let out a groan as i turn and head towards the stairs "dammit, I was supposed to have a good day today" he says as i start to go down the stairs, I learned this trick to go down the stairs 3 at a time without falling over. After a bit I get to the bottom and walk through the lobby and wave to the front desk lady named Mikaela, she smirks at me and gives me a small wave. Secret is that we used to date well that was when i first moved in and it only lasted a couple months, the love just died out. i left the apartment complex and started to walk down the street towards this local coffee shop, I get in line and wait for my turn, as I wait i scroll through my phone and scroll through my email. After about 5 minutes of waiting its my turn, as i approach the counter i put my phone back in my pocket and look up at the barista, i pause as i look at her as my eyes wander up and down checking her out. She talked in a squeaky yet hushed tone of voice saying "Hi what would you like to order?", I stutter a bit before blurting out "y-you" as i say that all the other baristas look over and laugh as she and I blush. After a bit of Awkward silence she giggles and says "sorry sir that's not on the menu", i let out a small chuckle "s-sorry, I'll take a plain black coffee please" she smiles "sure thing coming right up" she says as she messes around on the computer thing be for grabbing a napkin, i hand her my credit card to pay for the food, she takes it and swipes it before wrapping it in the napkin and handing it back to me, i take it curiously and stuffs it into my pocket and waving before walking to the back of the coffee shop to use the bathroom. After a bit i walk out and grab my coffee as it is ready, as i grab it another barista giggles and says "come again lover boy", I chuckle along as i walk out of the coffee shop and walks further down the street before walking into a plain looking office building...
