If I'm honest.
It's the same every day. I wake up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, wondering where I am and then realizing I'm safely in my apartment. It's cold and lonely in Boston but anything's better than Lima I guess, I looked at my phone it was 5:00 am "I guess I can go back to sleep" I said to myself while nuzzling into my stiff pillow.
*buzz* *buzz* *buzz*
Who's messaging me at 5am? I rolled over to grab my phone; I looked up to the clock "FUCK its 10am I'm late for work!" I read the message "WHERE ARE YOU? I'm drowning in coffee over here! – Lauren" my eyes widened "crap I'm going to be in trouble" I quickly grabbed most of my uniform and ran out my door to the Starbucks I worked at two blocks away.
"where were you Santana" the new girl whose name I can't quite remember I asked "um I over slept " I said nervously "well Lauren wants to see you in the back when you've changed" I looked down and realized I still had my tracksuit pants and t-shirt on from bed so I quickly ran to the bathroom to change.
"ahh Santana what a pleasure for you to show up finally" Lauren said rather vindictively "whatever Lauren just fire me already" I said "ha I wish I could but that would be illegal as you have 3 strikes before I'm allowed to and this is only your first but I did want you to do something for me" "what?" I questioned "I want you to help me move my little sister into her new apartment" "WHAT? Don't you have like friends to help you with that like I'm your employee not your own personal assistant" I yelled "wait she is moving in the apartment above you so I thought I would be a good chance for you to meet your new neighbor" I stared at her bluntly in my head hoping that her little sister wasn't a complete cow like her, "also Santana while your daydreaming over there I thought you should know that you will be training her too and because you were late the last 3 days in a row you now have cleaning toilet duty" "whatever " I whispered as I walked away from her.
I didn't even know there was a vacant apartment above mine, they were bigger and nicer than the ones on my floor and always seemed to be full , the old lady that had moved in above me must have croaked I guess but still I hope Laurens sister is the quite distant kind because I don't want this girl all up in my space considering we are going to be working together, what if she wants to become friends? I shiver at the thought while I scrub out the sinks in the bathroom.
While I'm walking back to my apartment in the brisk winter air I feel my phone buzzing so I pulled it out of my pocket to look at the message
"I was serious about helping my sister move Saturday 9am wait on the street corner for the moving van…. Don't sleep in this time"-Lauren
I rolled my eyes as I put the key in my old creaky green door to my apartment. I flopped onto my messy made bed and quickly typed back
"I'm looking forward to spending my day off helping you *cough* *cough* I'll make sure to set my alarm"-Santana.
I set my alarm and fluttered my eyes closed.
"ALL I WANT BABY IS EVERYTHING"
My eyes shot open "FUCK" I guided my hands to my eyes as they were blinded in the full light of my room, I quickly turned my alarm of and headed to the my old leaky shower. The water was Luke warm as always I can't remember the last time I had a hot shower, all that money I spent going to college and I still work at Starbucks and live in a small shitty apartment go figure. 8:45 awesome I still have 15 minutes I said as I finished changing into my simple nyu hoodie and skinny jeans pulling my hair back in to a simple straight pony, I grabbed my phone and too my surprise I had a message,
"Hey gurl me and the gurls are coming to Boston next week wondered if you would like to meet up. Xoxo Mercedes"
I squealed with excitement as Mercedes and Quinn were coming also Rachel but I didn't really care about her I quickly typed back
"Omg yay I guess berry's not coming as that moustache is definitely that of a man's: P"-Santana
I smiled at my pathetic joke and made my way outside to wait for this damn truck to get this day over with.
I saw Lauren roaring down the street in a big orange truck; my poor quite street is not used to this noise. "You made it" she screamed, I rolled my eyes "yeah I managed to walk down the stairs" I said sarcastically "we bumblebee will be a few minutes late" "who?" I crooked my neck "my sister" "OH" what a stupid nickname I thought to myself they must be close I rolled my eyes. "Well let's get stared" Lauren said while unlocking the back of the truck revealing a whole bunch of crap "fuck".
"there's no elevator so this is going be a long day" I said giving Lauren a heads up "well I have work at 5 so if it's not done by then I'll have to leave you to finish with bumble be" "oh joy" I said as I grabbed a box "cut it out Santana she's here" I looked over to a beat up green hatchback coming down the street. When I came back down the steps I saw her, this girl looked nothing like her sister, her hair was blonder and her eyes were bluer and she was utterly breathtaking unlike her sisters ordinary looks "hey I'm Santana" I said cheerfully, the girl store at me for a moment and I started to feel a bit uncomfortable suddenly she seemed to regain consciousness "oh hey sorry I'm Brittany" she said blushing "oh so your name isn't bumble bee then?" Brittany smiled "ha-ha no my sister is just a dork don't worry my names a lot more fun" "oh I'm sure I said winking and getting back to the van. As I was walking into the apartment building I heard a faint "hey bitchybitch can you pass me a box" I couldn't help feel like I was going to get along with this girl.
