New Story ALERT
Coffee House
Sari comes everyday to the same coffee house, sometimes she writes and sometimes she plays her music, this is her summer escape what is waiting for her during the three months of school vacation?
I am Sari and I’ve come here every day since school got out; this is my escape from my house. It’s not easy being a 16 year old girl who isn’t all about boys and then having a younger sister who can’t stay home because she is always on a date with some boy. Here at the coffee house I can write stories or play my music once a week if I choose. I sit here with my laptop and write of the perfect world where a bookish nerd like me gets the guy. My sister swears that I’d get dates if I would only act more interested but I believe that I won’t have to change who I am to meet that perfect guy, the guy who will like me for who I am my love of music and writing and quirky clothing.
I find my usual spot to be open. I order my black currant smoothie at the counter and have seat, and the girl behind the counter will bring my drink to me when it is ready. I’m in my usual flowing tie-died caftan with matching head scarf. My dark brown hair is kept out of my way by numerous twists and my head scarf. I’ve recently started writing a new story and I quickly fall into a trance as I write. I look up as Sophie brings me my smoothie, but wait it isn’t Sophie but someone new. I saw him when I ordered; he was standing in his brand new apron looking as if he was learning the ropes from Sophie. His name tag says Dan. I say thank you to this boy/man standing before me and he shyly says “You’re welcome." He smiles and then hurries back behind the counter.
