Anna's P.O.V.:
I get out of my bed and head to the bathroom. I shower quickly and stand in front of the mirror.
I examine my body. I've lost a lot of weight since high school but I'm still not perfect.
I sigh and slip in my underwear. I apply my deodorant and put my robe on. I brush my dark brown hair and blow dry it a little.While I eat breakfast it'll dry in perfect waves. I love my hair texture.
I apply the small amount of make-up I wear and get in my clothes once I'm in my room. I hear the doorbell. Who could that be?
I open and find a delivery guy.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Anna Longcastle here?" He asks.
"That's me." I reply and look at him in confusion.
"I've got a delivery from a mrs. Longcastle."
My aunt, those are probably my books. I nod. "That's for me, where do I sign."
~~~
I close the door behind me and carry the boxes to my room quickly. I am happy all of my books have arrived.
I read the short note attached. : Dear Anna, I wanted to wait until all your books got here to send them. Enjoy! Xxx
I smile at the cute note and continue getting ready for work. At 9 o'clock I walk out of my room. Lucy's sleepy face surprises.
"Have fun at your model meeting, I'm off!" I say and disappear through the door after a quick hug.
I get in my office and start on my topic. Talking to boys, yeah. So maybe I could talk to Jc and Cameron and Nash.
They are boys.
I open Facebook on my laptop and send them a message about this interrogation.
Cameron replies he's free on Tuesday. I'll set up an interview with Jc and Nash later when they wake up.
~~~
I get home earlier than expected since I had nothing to do there. I get in and see Cameron and Lucy, making out on the couch.
"Get a room!" I playfully yell.
They look up and both laugh.
"So how did the modelling go?" I ask them after putting all my stuff in my room.
"They accepted me! I was almost too short but thank god that inch was there." Lucy sighs. Cameron just looks at her with his eyes lit up. They're really hitting it of.
"Okay guys, I'm sorry but my books arrived this morning and I really want to unpack them! I'll see ya later maybe."
I take a pair of scissors from the kitchen and start unpacking as soon as the door closes behind me.
I put on Ed Sheeran's new album X and start humming along while arranging my books.
The 3 bookshelves fill up easily, thank god the books are in good shape and packed how I left them on the shelves.
I grab the last book which is an encyclopedia. But it's not just an encyclopedia. I open the book and look in the carved hole inside. My diary is still in there.
I forgot to bring it when I came. My high school struggle diary has always been a big piece of me, together with playing volleyball and reading. I put it back and place it on the highest shelve.
I grab the few cd's and movies and place them on top.my sims games get a nice spot on one of the shelves lining the wall.
I save my Pokemon for last. I smile at my big collectors album and open it to look at my favourites. After a while I put it on a shelve and lay on my bed. I'm finally done. My room is complete.
The only thing I need is a desk. I'll get a small one tomorrow at ikea. I need to meet up with Nash, Cam and Jc so I might as wel buy it then.
~~~
The week goes by in a daze and I'm so happy my birthday is in a few days, I could really use some fun. Maybe Jc and Lia will come over I don't know anything yet.
After I had sent in my interview. I had gotten my money so now I'm stocked!
I got a small little desk and put it in front of the bookcases. Together with an expensive chair I'm ready. I told my boss I'd like to work from home, since I have my laptop and I don't need a desk space there.
She let me it of course I still have to go there for meetings and designing the pages.
I walk into my room and sit behind my PC. Lucy is with Cameron, I'm happy for her. She met her dream guy but I still haven't met mine. Speaking of mine, I might as well watch some of his videos.
~~~
I get in bed and cover myself with the silky comforter. I fall into a slumber and wake up really late the next day. I get up and walk into the kitchen. Wait, it's Saturday? It's my birthday. Omg. I smile and continue making porridge.
Lucy walked on with Lia by her side. They're really close now, but I don't mind. Lucy and I have been like sisters forever. They went shopping again.
"Hey girls."
"Hey Anna." Lia says and walks over to hug me. I hug her back and proceed to hug Lucy. She looks very exited today.
I continue eating my porridge. They haven't said anything about my birthday yet. I find it so weird.
"Anna, can I ask for a favor?" Lia asks.
"Yeah, what's up."
"Well, I've been thinking about reading and well I really want to start. Would you like to go to the library with me to find some good books."
Lucy smiles at her.
"Yeah but isn't it easier you just get one of mine. I don't mind and I have a lot. And we don't have to walk all the way there."
Lia looks at Lucy and they both look shocked.
"When did they come in?" Lucy asks.
"A few days ago. You were still asleep so I just didn't bother telling. You don't like them anyways."
Lia turns to me. "I'm not that careful with my stuff, I better not use yours. And besides I have a library card. The date to bring the book back will help me concentrate on a goal."
"Oh, okay then." I agree. "I'll come , lemme just get ready."
"Dress fancy, you might spot cute boyzzzz!" Lucy yells.
I laugh and continue to my room. I open my closet and put on some watermelon shorts. I love these! I combine them with a dark green bandeau and a low cut white tank top. I put on my converse and put on a little amount of makeup.
I just use some bb-cream, a concealer for my stupid dark under eye circles, thanks dad for passing that, powder and mascara. I put on my favourite Burt's bees lipbalm in pomegranate and drop it in my bag.
"I'm ready let's go!" I say after grabbing my keys.
"Hold on."
They seem to be watching some tv show so I wait until it finishes.
We leave just before it gets dark. They needed to watch the whole season of the vampire diaries. I didn't mind because I have fallen in love with that show too but still, LA at night will be scary.
~~~
"So what genre do you want to read in?"
Lia seems to be thinking really hard. "Uh, just a mix of uh genres." She says.
"Alright. Let's start with some YA."
"YA?"
"Young adult." I say while grabbing the hunger games and looking for Alaska.
"Oh, okay." She says while looking at the books.
I grab a Stephenie Perkins novel since I know she's gonna love it. I decide with Anna and the French kiss. Because I'm Anna and yeah.
I give her the stack. "You go get these books and I'll just look around."
I want to see their adult section. There are a lot of new books and I need to start reading more authors. I have some adult books but not very much.
Just when I start to ask myself where Lia is, someone grabs my arms and pulls a cap over my head.
