Chapter One
649 Words
Sitting at my usual table in the "Moe Café ", I stare at the beautiful color combination of the sunset orange, red, and yellow. Suddenly a thought strike into my mind, quickly I open my sketchbook to draw the dress I imagined.
Now, do not think that I am some fashion designer ugh how I wish but unfortunately no I am not. Although I applied my drawing to the companies none accepted the samples.
Why? Well, it is because I do not come from a rich and powerful family nor do I know someone in the domain that can support me. So yeah, but that does not stop me from dreaming of owning a fashion line one day.
However, as they say: Imagination was a killer.
"Here you go, "a familiar voice says. I look up to see my friend, Max who works as a waiter, handing me my teacup.
As the strong smell of tea hits me my mind and nerves relax.
"Ah, finally just in time."
"Another dress?" he asks as he takes the seat in front of me.
I raise an eyebrow wondering who gave him permission to sit. "Well yeah," I answer and take a sip of my drink.
Perfect, no sugar just as I like it.
Some of my friends always joke that I like to drink my tea and coffee bitter just as my personality. But do they even know what I lived that caused a huge shift in my personality?
Of course no since I don't trust anyone. You are probably thinking then they are not real friends. The truth is that I am a great liar and that is a curse and bless at the same time.
Why is it a curse? Because a person can't handle burying his feeling all the time he needs a release.
Max got up as customers arrived and I continue to draw the dress. Then, I hear a ping sound and realized it was my phone. It was a message from my friend Andrea about a new club. As you may conclude Andrea is what we call the party animal.
From Andrea: " Heyyyyy! I heard a new club opened so be ready at 9 pm. And we are going to meet at Max's apartment for the pre-party."
I sent an okay. Now, the pre-party is the most important thing. We all meet at someone's house and drink beers and some shots so we arrive at the club tipsy.
And by " we ", I mean our group. Let me introduce you to them.
First, Andrea as you already know is the party animal, the b***h of the group. Why she is like that? Well, she is hopelessly in love with Max and this is her way of catching his attention. She is half Korean half American and is teaching music in a high school.
Second, Max has a crush on Andrea but does not have the courage to ask her out. Max is like the older brother of the group. He is still studying to be a doctor and works in the café. And we are trying to set them up on a blind date. See we are good friends.
Then, we have Alexandra. She is Latin and has a passion for dancing ballet. Alex, as we call her, teaches ballet for young girls and has a boyfriend Tyler.
Tyler is also in our group. He works in some company for oil and machines and he is planning to propose to Alex. Shhh, don't tell him I told you.
That is pretty much about us. We met in high school and have been friends since then.
I checked the time. It was 7 and half pm so I should head to the house and get ready for tonight.
Do not forget to like, comment, and share.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
Mimi xoxo.
