It was another nice day out with my two besties in the city. Charlotte, the blondie with black highlights was treating Bethany and me to a tasty brunch at a small Mexican café that been trending on social media. We were in my family’s private black sedan being driven to the location. We couldn’t help but be glued to our phones.
I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer and broke the silence, “it’s very nice of you Charlotte to invite us out to eat.”
“Don’t mention it Ash, but because I am paying I will be choosing what we eat.”
“That’s totally fine by me!” Bethany said.
“What do you have in mind?” I asked.
“Mmm… whatever salad they have and water, I’m trying to watch what we eat to maintain our figure.”
“Oh… well a salad sounds very nice and the pictures are very pretty but water? I was looking here on their page and this iced latte looks very good-”
“Ashley dear, an iced-whatever has calories, you wanna lose your pretty body over a silly drink.”
“No I don’t.” We stayed quiet afterwards. Not wanting to waist my phone’s battery I looked out from the window and saw the streets we passed. As we continue one some streets changed so did the community’s quality. I checked my phone and saw that in a few minutes we would arrive, I looked out again. People were walking, shops were open and countless people entered and exited each venue. A part of me was grateful for being born into a family with money and hardly any hardships, but as I looked out and saw mostly everyone had a smiled made me envied that I sense of community I longed to belong.
“We have arrived miss.” Said Colton, my butler and personal driver.
“Okay thanks Colt.”
He existed from the driver side and made his way to the right side of the back-passenger seat to let us out. “I will be parked down the street, there’s an available meter where I can be stationed.”
“Thank you. Do you want something from the café?”
“I am fine, thank you Miss.”
I turned and took a few steps towards the café and then I stopped to look at the front of the café, it was stationed between two other shops, a flower shop, and little trinket stores. The Café was named Dulce’s Café, with a flower blooming one once side and a bee drawn flying toward it. The café had a few small round tables outside each with an oversized umbrella. I hurried along
From the corner of my eye I could notice that our waitress was staring at me for a few moments. Then Charlotte broke the silence, this gave me a chance to study our waitress, she explained her name was Teresa, she had raven black wavy hair, and had it tied up in a ponytail. Her skin was a light brown, to near white in some areas. Charlotte ordered for us as she had explained beforehand, I was looking over at the menu and found the ice latte I had wanted to try. I was busying myself reading the description when I notice Charlotte carefully pulling at her black highlights.
“Why are you pulling your hair out, Charlotte?”
“To have a little fun.”
“Charlotte what are you planning?”
“Listen you see the neighborhood this place is in and its trending right now, well I will have something for it to trend for the wrong reasons.”
“Which are?”
“I’m going to place my hair on the food you dummy.”
“Why?!”
“Keep it down! Why these people don’t deserve our followers, our admiration, or our money.”
“They haven’t done anything to us, especially that waitress she seemed very nice!”
“And it would seem the hair will be from her.”
“I won’t let you-”
“Girls quiet! The waitress is coming with our food!” Said Bethany all of a sudden. While I scornfully looked at Charlotte, then turn to Teresa who had our food, that was when the ground shook all around.
