Some Would Call It Fate (Shawn Mendes)

Chapter 1

I'm currently sitting behind the counter of Starbucks watching the clock, hoping that it will make this shift go by quicker.

I only work on the weekends during when I go to school, but now that summer is here, I can expect to be in this place 24/7. Yay! (Note the sarcasm).

When I was younger, my dream job was to work at Starbucks until I go to college and get my degrees. Little did I know I would have a jerk as a boss and a bunch of snobby, non motivated workers beside me.

I just try to tough it out because after the summer is over, my contract with this place ends. So when this contract ends, I'm getting out of here!

Right now it's 6:15, and my shift ends at 6:45 so I only have 30 more minutes until I can go home.

"Caitlyn! Get over here and take this order! I need to go out and take a smoke!" one of my coworkers Patti, snaps.

I roll my eyes at her while walking over to her register. I decide not to reply to her because it would probably be some sassy, sarcastic remark that could get me fired.

"Hello, what can I get you!" I ask the customer politely. I may hate this job, but I will never be rude to customers that come here. They are helping my paycheck after all, and they just don't deserve rude employees.

"Hi! Can I get the Java Chip Frappachino please?" a girl that looked a little younger than me asked. "Of course! Anything else?" "Nope that's all!" she replied. "Ok your total will be $4.17 cents," I say while she hands me a five dollar bill.

I quickly hand her the change and start making the order. These types of drinks usually take a few minutes to make, and when it's finished I hand it back to her and wait for Patti to come back.

She's still not back when new customers walk in. I walk back over to the register to take their orders.

The rest of the thirty minutes of my shift go by and Patti still never came back. My guess is that she came up with some lousy excuse to leave early. She always did this and Nathan, our boss, let's her get away with it.

After I hang up my Starbucks apron, I tell Nathan I'm leaving then head outside to my white Toyota Prius.

I got this car for my 16th birthday and I absolutely love it! My best friend Corrin and I always car pool. She has a black Ford

Focus and so we always alternate who's going to pick up who.

Oh yeah! I should probably tell about Corrin and I. To start off we have been best friends for about as long as I can remember.

Corrin has brown hair that goes a little past her shoulders, ice blue eyes, and has a petite build. She's so beautiful, and I'm always envious about her looks. Not in a competitive envious though. Her personality is very nice, loud at times, funny, and is a great person to go to when you just need someone to talk to.

I have dirty blonde hair that goes to about the middle of my back, hazel eyes(they're dark blue on the outer edge, then go to an ice blue, then to a green, and then a sandy color right around my pupil). I have a curvier body shape, I'm not over weight, I just don't have the tight abs and thigh gap. I used to be very self conscious of my body but I've learned to love myself and accept the fact that I wasn't made to be super skinny. My personalities are nice, but sassy when needed, quiet until you get to know me, smart, and I am a good listener so people tend to come to both Corrin and I when they need advice.

We both have always dreamed about living in our first apartment together, and since we're both 18 now, we can move into our own place! We still need to find a date to go apartment hunting, but we'll figure that out soon enough.

We live in Michigan and want to move to California. First, because we were both accepted to Stanford, and secondly, because we both have always wanted to live there.

I live about 15 minutes away from Starbucks, and Corrin lives right around where I live. Today we decided that we wanted to have a sleep over because summers here now. So I'm driving over to her house instead of to mine.

I already have my bag full of clothes and stuff so that I didn't have to stop over at my house.

By the time I get to Corrins place it's 7:05. I quickly pull the keys out of the ignition and grab my duffle bag. I make my way up the walk way and the door is already open so I just walk in.
