Nathalie's POV 

how could she just do that?! It's not faire! As I was angrily skating all over the place, trying to get my anger out, I noticed the sun going down, after a few minutes, it was dark when I stumbled upon a dark alley and a bag of spray paints so I just painted the words 'On écrtit sur Les murs' it was the name of my favorite French song and that song inspired me to start drawing, first with a peril on paper, then on blank stickers that I put all over the place, to graffiti on walls. I decorated it with a purple and orange motif as each color made the other pop and it looked really cook and i started to wonder who left the paints there, I didn't really care so I left.

 That made me feel a little better but I was still pissed off and the night was still young so I kept exploring. Soon, after about 5 minutes, I found this café that I realized wasn't too far from my house. There were only a couple people there so I walked up to it. I heard someone say from inside "Just sit wherever you'd like. I'll be with you in a moment." So I sat at an empty table for two outside. Then a boy who looked about my age with raven black and indigo hair (some people just say it's blue but I know my colors.). He had hazel eyes and was carrying a note pad and was wearing an apron as I guessed he worked here "Hello, my name is Douxie and I'll be your waiter. What can I get you on this fine evening?" He asked i was barely paying attention as I was still thinking about the events of the day and wondering what I was going to do tomorrow "uh, I'll just have a coffee with cream and sugar please?" I asked and he scribbled that down on his note pad and said "coming right up" then he walked away. Maybe I could run away? Go back home? Then I could be with Donnie. After a good 5 minutes, Douxie came back with my drink. He handed it to me and said "here's your coffee, can I get you anything else?" He asked "oh, no I'm good. I'll just finish this and have the check." I responded "ok" he said as he walked away again.

 I decided not to run away as all my stuff is here and there could be consequences like I could end up on the no fly list. And plus, how would I even afford a plane ticket back home? Douxie came back as I was finishing my coffee and said "I brought the check and maybe someone to talk to?" And he sat down in the chair across from me. "Wouldn't you get in trouble for that?" I asked "nah, do you see anyone else here. I could see that something was bothering you so right now, I'm not you're waiter, I'm just Douxie." He said and I gave him a look that said 'is it really that obvious?' And he gave me one that said 'yep' "ok so where to start, when i was little, my mom sent me to go live with my cousin in Brooklyn, but now, 10 years later, she forced me to come back and live with her in Arcadia and expects me to just accept it! I didn't want to come here, the least she can do is at least consider my feelings and not just announce it to me like the day before hand! And plus everyone at school hates me for no reason!" I finished. "Well, that certainly sounds rough. Wait, which school?" He asked "Arcadia Oaks High." I stated 

"oo my rival school, I go to Arcadia Oaks Academy." He said in a playful manner probably trying to cheer me up and it was working, a little. "Could I transfer to there?" I asked sarcastically and he chuckled a little. "I don't think so, but, if anyone is mean again, you could just punch them." He said laughing a little "Or i could just do this." I said using telekinesis to pull the hood of his sweeter over his head and eyes like I did with that jerk at school." He pulled his hood back off and looked at me shocked. I slowly realized what I had just did and I looked down at my lap not really knowing what to say or do. "What was THAT?" Douxie asked "telekinesis" I said very quietly "well that was freaking awesome!!!!" He said and I looked up at him surprised. "Are your witch or something?" He asked excitedly "No. But my grandmother was believed to be magic." I said he looked ever so slightly crestfallen but not enough to diminish his curiosity and excitement. "Well I think it's amazing!!" He said. Most people are afraid of me if they find out so this was a nice change of pace. 

Time skip

After a while of talking, I realized I had to to my house, not because I wanted to but because I had to. So I left Douxie a huge tip and stood up. He got up too and said "I hope to see you again, Fair Lady Nathalie." While doing a little bow and I thought it was a little strange but flattering none the less, maybe it's a thing people do in Arcadia? "Hope to see you again too, Douxie Casperan." I said acting a little mysterious, a girls gotta have some fun sometimes. I got on my skateboard and left for my house with a small smile on my face.
