"SHIT"

*crunch*

i just bought these effing glasses. now i have to get new ones again, am i even going to be able to afford new ones??
niki thinks to herself as she picks up her glasses she had just stepped on

*ring ring ring.... ring ring ring*

niki walks over to the sound, throwing her glasses on the counter. it's her phone ringing but she can't find it. she shuffles through the blankets and finds it in-between the crack of her sofa.

wilbur :) is calling...

"hello!" niki says into the phone

"yes hello it's wilbur!"

"yes i know i have caller id stupid, how are you?" niki asks

"oh yeah haha- i'm good niki, just wondering if you'd like to go out for some coffee at the sanctum tomorrow morning!" wilbur replies

"really? i'd love to! i have to get ready for bed, see you then?" niki says as she looks to the clock hanging on her eggshell colored wall

9:12pm (21:12)

"oh-" wilbur stammers "yeah yeah see you then. night niki!"

"good night wilbur!"

niki then throws her phone back on the couch and realizes she has to do some studying before going to bed

she pulls out her laptop from her black north face backpack and sets it on her couch to begin studying

-

*buzz buzz...*

*buzz buzz buzz*

"mmmgh" niki rolls over on the couch to look at her phone buzzing

oh no i fell asleep while studying niki thinks to herself i'm going to have to study more before my class today.

niki then realizes it's almost 8am and she said she would meet wilbur for coffee

niki walks to her wardrobe and pulls out khaki colored pants, and considering it would be rather cold today, she decided on a brown short sleeve shirt and a darker brown jacket to wear as well

8:23am (08:23)

niki packs her laptop and charger into a bag to take with her to the coffee shop so she could study before her class, hoping wilbur wouldn't mind.

niki had just met wilbur a couple months ago at a party, they've been talking non-stop. he plays in a band called lovejoy, she also met a few of his band members tommy, ranboo, dream and sapnap.

niki decides to text wilbur

niki:
we're meeting at the sanctum right?

wilbur:
yep! i'll be there in 5

niki:
alr see you there :D

-

*bell noise* (EN: how do you spell a bell noise out would it be like "dingy ringy ding" like wtf)

niki enters the coffee shop and sees wilbur walking over to a table with a white mug in hand, he too was wearing brown today.

wilbur looks up when he hears the bell noise

wilbur waves niki over and niki sits across the table from him

"hiii! you break your glasses again?"wilbur says excitingly

"hello, and yes i stepped on them this time"niki replies as she sets her bag around the back of her chair
"i brought my laptop, i have to study i hope that's okay"

"fine with me, and it's ok you look good without glasses anyway" wilbur replies half laughing "are you going to get a drink?"

"oh yeah haha i'll be right back" niki replies

niki walks to the front of the shop where she is greeted by barista with blonde hair and a green apron

"hello, what can i get you?" the barista says to niki

"oh hello, can i get a black coffee with vanilla creamer and a sprinkle of cinnamon please." niki asks the barista, then seeing her shiny silver name tag

Cara

"of course, is that all for today?" cara says

"yep!" niki responds

"$3.99" cara says "also i love your style, brown really suits you!"

niki hands cara her card

"really? thank you!" niki answers

"haha of course! your coffee will be ready in a few minutes i'll bring it to your table" cara says with a smile

"cool!" niki says

niki then returns to her table where wilbur is scrolling on his phone

"the band just secured a gig at this place for friday night" wilbur exclaims

"really that's awesome i'm glad!" niki says as she sets up her laptop "i'd love to see the band play as a whole i'll definitely be here!"

"oh haha, i mean you don't have to come.." wilbur says nervously

"what of course i'll be there! couldnt miss a chance to support my best friend" niki giggles

"bahah appreciate it niki" wilbur eases up "means a lot"

"no problem, besides i haven't seen you guys play, i'm sure you've gotten better in the past few months" niki points out

they are then met with cara walking to the edge of the table, she places down a coaster and then a mug with van goghs "starry night" painting designed all over it.

"coffee vanilla creamer, sprinkle of cinnamon" cara smiles

"thank you so much!" niki says

cara then walks away

"anyway, i'm excited for friday" niki says as she sips on her coffee
the coffee the dribbles down her chin a little
"oop- haha i'm clumsy.. woops-"

niki is stopped by wilbur stretching over the table with a napkin carefully wiping nikis chin of the coffee she had spilt

wilbur laughs at niki and they continue to talk about lovejoy and future gigs
