I groaned when I heard the alarm go off, That wasn't nearly enough sleep. I turned it off and rolled off of the bed knowing if I stayed a second too long then I would be in bed all day. There was a Knock on the door  before it was open. My lovely roommate Amelia popped her head in, "Hey you up?" .

"Yeah yeah, I'm up. Thank god I only have one class today, I'd probably cry if i didn't. My first day off in two week, I'm excited. I was thinking diner." I was searching around for my phone and homework i needed for class.

" Yeah about that, Jonas called asked us to bar tend at a huge party tonight," Amelia rolled her eyes leaning against the door. I stopped moving around the room and rolled my neck around clearly aggravated. 

"Bullshit" 

"Nope! It was more like a demand. Apparently Amanda has the flu and Connor is just a douche. But on the bright side its an open bar so we'll make really good tips, and their rich." My ear peeked up. I chewed the inside of my cheek. I could use the money. 

"Fine. What time?" 

"He wants us there at 5, the party doesn't start until 7." Then she disappeared outta my room. I grab the nearest pillow and  start beating my bed, yelling very word in the book. After a few moments of releasing stress I grab some clothes and head to the shower so I can at least be on time for class. 

I was the sixth person in my English lit class. I blew lightly on my Chai tea looking down at the foam at the top layer. What this needs is some whipped cream, Everything is better with whipped cream or marshmallows. More people came into the classroom followed by the professor. He was really intimidating. The type where people just give him respect as soon as they see him. He was older, almost 6 feet. He was Chinese, his gray hair was long and in a low ponytail. I can't recall his full last name but everyone calls him professor Jay. He doesn't say much , he just starts to write tonight assignment on the board, also reminding us there are no cellphones to be used during class.

A girl walks in ten minutes later, she seem super young and super lost. She looked frantic as she came in, Professor Jay nodded and pointed to a seat next to me. She quickly put her head down and walked over to her seat, almost tripping. It was weird how everyone watched her, they all stared like she was some mutant . She takes her seat and the professor continues the lecture. I couldn't pay attention, normally the seats on each side of me were always empty because everyone preferred the back. From what I could see though is the girl was very pretty. She had reddish brownish hair and light freckles. Her eyes was a light dullish kind of green, but still very pretty. Her lips were pouty and a dark red that complimented her pale complexion .

The whole lecture was based on a writing we had to read the night before, and he wants us to write a poem as our next assignment. Everyone was getting up to leave even the red head. I was still gathering my books when I saw a guy bump into the poor red head and he just kept going. I frowned and put my books down at the edge of the table to help her. Everyone else just continued to walk around her so she was a bit shocked when I leaned down to help her. She just faintly smiled at me then finished picking up her stuff. Once we got everything up, we hurried out of the classroom since the next professor came in and glared at us.

"Thank you, um by the way" She fidgeted, her eyes didn't fully reach her surrounding. She scratched her head then scurried off in the other direction . I smiled and started to walk back to the apartment hopefully to get another nap in before tonight. On my way back I decided more Chai tea wouldn't hurt. So while I'm standing in line a man approaches behind me seemed to be in a rush, I could hear his foot tapping and his huffing showed he was getting impatient . I was next in line so when I gave the barista my order I moved down the line so the man could give her his order. I pulled out my phone and started to scroll through my social media when I heard the man yell at the barista .
