Chapter 7: Coffee

"yesss?" She answered.

I quickly called Jill. she also answered immediately, it seemed like it was really waiting for me to call back.

"Tell me Jilliane, am I dreaming? It's not a dream is it !?" I am nervous as hell.

"what?" every word I speak is weak.

Can't I really dreaming?

Is this the effect of my eagerness to get into Crimson High?

Please don't. Tell me its not.

But no, there is time! They say there seems to be no time to dream! Right!

It is true! I passed! I have already passed!

"You're just dreaming, Daniela Marie" it said in a ghostly tone, seemingly scared.

just when I convinced myself, she also scared me. duh

"JILLIANE!" I said don't call me by my second name!

"haha you look crazy, D. If it's a dream, you might not want to wake up like that, nuh! this is dream come true ghorl!" she laughed insanely.

maybe if she was just with me my arm would turn red again with the weight of his blows. She is very energetic actually.

"I'm nervous! You're crazy. You even scared me, duh as if I would believe you!" I replied angrily.

I rolled my eyes even though I know she can't see it

"Why are you nervous? We did our best, okay? If we weren't sent a letter, oh ... I'll really kick them out!" I laughed at its long litany.

Too much self -confidence huh.

Jill and I agreed to have a little celebration, we deserve it after all! thus, I don’t mean wine, but coffee!

at Café Mendoza we plan to celebrate. One more thing, I'm still underage, I can't either enter the bar nuh! We were supposed to leave this afternoon as well, but I refused and said just tomorrow.

It's already afternoon, we can't enjoy and make the most of the day because I have a curfew of six.

Also, I want aunt alicia to know the good news first before we celebrate!

She is my Witness in the days that reviewer was in front of me! she should be the first to know! I mean, she should be the first to celebrate with!

I quickly went down to the living room, I'll just wait for my aunt here. I sat in a comfortable way, with both thighs open while one elbow rested on my knee. switching the channel on the tv.

for sure, if aunt alicia reaches me in this position, She will hit me again, hard.

"You woman, change your position!" I can hear her voice in my mind. Grrr

I almost finished three teleseries and my aunt still didn't come. I looked at the clock hanging on the kitchen door, and it was already six o'clock.

I entered the kitchen with my stomach churning. It's only in the afternoon, everyone, I haven't had lunch yet. I didn't even have a snack. I was too busy sleeping and watching tv.

I was really lucky to see a stock of frozen food in the refrigerator. Often, if it is not water, it is water. sometimes even water is not there yet. Really bad!

I fried all the meat in a wrapper of frozen food I got and ate quickly. It's embarrassing that I didn't do anything in the afternoon, then I'll wait for Aunt Alicia to cook dinner after she works, isn't it?

When I finished, I quickly prepared two plates and glasses, accompanied by cold orange juice! Perfect,

isn't it? It is very tasty to eat when the drink is cold

I smiled when I saw that only Aunt Alicia was missing.

So that, the surroundings became quiet and only the sound of the hands of the clock could be heard.

Does that seem to count down, At exactly 6:00 pm I was even more excited! Peek, peeking at the door of the house, to see if it opens.

but nothing.

It remained closed.

Maybe it's just traffic. Or had difficulty riding. It's not really late yet, because she should have finished its work six at times.

Maybe I'm just used to it coming home early. I ate first because my stomach was really upset. I've been hungry for a few hours so I can't stand it anymore.

I will just scoop when I heared someone speak.

"You didn't even bother to wait for me, Daniela"

"Auntie!" I violently turned to her direction. I even heard the sound of my neck because of suddenly turning around.

that's hurt!

"I'm already hungry, aunt. I'm sorry" I immediately stood up and waved. I just blushed

"I fell asleep when you left so I skipped lunch" I added

she quickly hooked up the sling bag she was wearing as she headed further. she sat in front of the chair I was sitting on. she smiled and pulled something out of his blazer.

It's scary because she's not such a serious person.

It reached for a small box. I paused.

"What is this?" I asked nervously.

I know next week is my birthday, but it's too early if it's a gift on that occasion. But thanks anyway.

"open it" she remained smiling, scary grin.

It is a necklace, heart -shaped necklace. Very nice. It is also look like, like there was a stone inside the heart -shaped pendant.

It is familiar! I just can’t remember where I saw it or when I saw it.

But I’m sure that the necklace is familiar.

I happily told my aunt the letter I received from Crimson High. I also said that we plan to celebrate with Jilliane tomorrow.

She allowed me to come home later than my curfew! Good! Jill and I will be able to cycle longer after we go to Café Mendoza by chance.

The next day, at 10 o'clock in the morning, I said goodbye and left.

Auntie has no work today so she will be left at home.

I was standing on the opposite Street of Café Mendoza. I was wondering if Jilliane would really continue or if she could just be sent me straight to the mall.

Soon I saw Jill, walking towards Café Mendoza. The cellphone I was holding rang only minutes later.

I'm not surprised anymore,

"hello?"

"where are you? I am already here." I know I can see you from here.

"Yeah, I'm walking." I answered.

"Wow D! It's first time -- " I cut her off.

"I am near. let's talk about it later." I totally hanged up.

When I entered the shop there were not many people. It's still early though.

I saw Jill standing at the counter, talking to Jun. They noticed me immediately.

"Good morning" I greeted smiling

"good morning!" greetings from the two at the same time, hmn?

"nice to see you again, Dan! I hope you come here often again!" kind but meaningful greeting from Jun

"I already ordered, Jun already memorized your order so I ordered it too" Jill. Probably Jun already spill something to Jill because of his chatter.

Can't be surprised then.

I just nodded in response. Suddenly it was as if I had lost my mood.

We sat near the window but not in my favorite spot. minutes later our ordered was already done. I hear Jun shouting our names.

"One Cappuccino for Jilliane, and One coffee mocha for Daniela" Jun placed our order on the counter.

Both Jill and I stood up. I wonder why we sat in the first place.

When I reached for mine, there was a hand in front of me. My eyes widened as I turned to the owner of the hand to take it,

"Hey! That's mine!" I shouted.

He was about to try to drink it when I touched his wrist to stop it.

He looks nice and rich but can't order his own coffee?
