Bestfriends With My Doppelganger

Chapter 5

"Ready to go?" Marisol asked as she exit the bathroom, towel drying her hair.

She had on black shorts and a dark blue graphic tee.

"Yea, I was just waiting on you to get done" I said. I got up and straightened my bed spread.

"Ok, give me a minute" she says. She closes her laptop, which she had left open and running, and places it on her desk. "Do you have your key card?" she asks and I nod.

"Yea its inside my phone case" I say to her. "That's a smart idea. I hadn't even thought of that" she says. She takes up her phone and places her key card inside its case.

I put on my sandals as she laces up her sneakers.

"After you" she says, opening the door for me. I walk out and she closes it behind us.

"So, where are we going to get breakfast?" I asked as we turn the corner and exit the hall. I stand and look around, getting a better view of the surroundings. When I had arrived yesterday it was already dark but now the sun was super bright and the campus was buzzing with life.

"There are a couple on campus cafes. Hold on let me check" she takes out her cellphone and types something in before pausing, apparently waiting for results to her search.

"Ok, the student portal has a map. There is a coffee shop two buildings over" she says to me. "That's great, let's go".

"So, random question. Name something you've always wanted to try but have never done" Marisol says as we walk pass the main building where the information desk was.

"That really is random. Hold on, gimme a sec" I say and think about what she said. I didn't have to think long because something pops up into my mind.

"Oh, I've always wanted to go sky diving but I'm too scared" I tell her.

"That sounds cool, I would want to try that too. I'm not necessarily scared but I just haven't gotten around to doing that" she says and shrugs her shoulder.

"I'm a very adventurous person and I like to take risks. My mother says she swears that she has two sons" Marisol laughs.

"Oh, you have a brother?" I ask, it was an absurd question because she literally just made a statement about this but I guess that's just reflex. What with being a human and all. Ha!

"Yea, he's actually a student here. I'll have to introduce you guys soon. He doesn't live on campus though, he lives close by with his girlfriend".

"I'm looking forward to it" I say. We walk across a small pathway before we walk out onto the lawn. The cafe is about 150 feet in front of us. Some students were laying in the grass and just idling.

"So, do you have any siblings?" Marisol asks me. "Yes I have a sister. She's 14 years old and her name is Anabelle" I inform her.

"Cool, I've always wanted a sister. I guess I'm like this because I look up to my older brother" she says nonchalantly.

We complete our journey and we open the door and enter the cafe.

"This is cute". The cafe was average sized. It was kept closed and had air conditioning which made the strong smell of coffee float around in the air.

"I love the smell of hot java" Marisol said. We walk up to the counter and I look up at the Menu Board and then at the small pastries in the glass casing.

"Could I have a medium iced coffee and a chocolate chip muffin please?" I order. The cashier punches my order into the monitor and tells me my bill and also asks me my name. I quickly pay her and tell her my name and she tells me to wait until my name is called.

"Would you like something miss?" she asks Marisol. "Yes please, could I get a...... Medium frappuccino with caramel and whipped cream and a..... chocolate chip muffin as well". Marisol pays her bill and tells the cashier her name.

We go over to sit on two stools waiting on our orders.

"Hey Kelly, I thought you said you went to the bathroom" a girl walks up and touches my shoulder.

"Excuse me?" I asked, not knowing what she was talking about. "You told me you were going to the bathroom. I didn't even see when you came out" she says.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not who you may think you're talking to. I'm Illiana, it's nice to meet you" I said and I stretched my hand out to her.

She raises an eyebrow and shakes my hand. "Are you sure? You just told me you were going to the bathroom. Did you hit your head or something while in there?" she says. She places the back of her hand against my forehead and I stand up, trying to get away from this weird girl.

"And why did you change your clothes?"

"I'm sorry but I think I need to go. Excuse me" I said and as I was walking away the barista calls my name.

I go get my order along with Marisol and we exit the coffee shop afterwards. The girl still stood there looking at me as if she was confused.

Marisol placed her cup against her lip and sucked up all the whipped cream.

"That was strange" I said and Marisol hummed in agreement.

"So where are we going now?" I ask her. "Do you want to maybe sit on one of the benches?" Marisol suggests. "Ok sure" I say.

We walk over to a bench that was close to the coffee shop. As we sit down I see the strange girl exit the coffee shop. She was walking in the opposite direction and she had a girl there with her.

I didn't see her face but I assume she was the girl that 'went to the bathroom'.

Oh well, that's that.
