The next morning when I woke up, I told myself I was going to make friends today. I figured lots of people hung out in coffee shops, so that was where I was going to go. I put on my trendiest outfit, then left.

There was this one coffee shop just outside the city that I went to the other day. It had a lot of windows so it was sunny, and there were a lot of people there. I went in with absolutely no plan, just hopes.

While I was in line, I scanned the room to see if anyone looked friendly, but everyone seemed really uninviting. While the girl was handing me my coffee, I noticed her nails and decided to take a page from Klara's book.

"I love your nails, where did you get them done?" I asked.

"Thank you!" She smiled. "I got them done at *insert name here*."

"I just moved here so I'm trying to find the best places to do things here," I said. I was trying to start a conversation without being weird.

"Where are you from? I'm Esther, by the way."

"Poland, and I'm Caroline," I said. I stepped to the side so she could give other people their drinks and I wouldn't be in the way.

"Why did you decide to come here?" She asked.

"I'm spending some time with my aunt and uncle," I explained.

"Well if you ever need anything or just want to hang out, here's this," she handed me a lid with her phone number on it.

"Thanks," I smiled, then walked out to my car.

That was too easy.
