Authors Note: Even though it doesn't contain characters from Divergent and the story is altered, it does kind of relate to Divergent. Please let me know what you think on the review section :) if you like it or not. I will be writing a Divergent fan fiction on Four/Tris in the future.
Another year, new beginnings. Or that's what we always say anyway, new resolutions and wishes, and hopefully another year to look forward to.
Why is that whenever it's the final week of my school holidays, it's always when I find myself doing the most interesting things? Over the holidays, I barely had any time to explore even more of the city as I had to stay at home with my little brother but today is one of those days where my brother is staying over at his friend's house. Who was I to waste it? So I took my time enjoying my day roaming around the city, grabbing a coffee and blueberry bun along the way. I slung my denim backpack over my shoulder, as I walked the street juggling my coffee and food in one hand, my IPod on the other. Usually, my parents would never let me roam the busy and dangerous (As they like to call it) on my own, but I told them I was going to my best friend Kendra's house which is not a complete lie since I will be going there, just later tonight.
To be honest, I prefer roaming around the streets by myself as I can enter any shop I want without worrying about the other person and accomodating their needs. Don't get me wrong, I love to hang out my best friends but sometimes we all just need our personal space. Being a huge germaphobe, I made sure to hit the pedestrain crossing button with my elbow when my phone vibrated and beeped indicating a message. Wanting to cross the street safely first, my phone constantly vibrated which slightly annoyed me as I literally had no hands to grab it. A block away, I noticed a few benches lined up along the foot path and power walked my way there as my phone would not stop. This better be important, seriously.

That's Kendra for you, with a demanding and strong-willed attitude towards everything which balances out our friendship well. For me, I'm the type of person who doesn't verbally go against what another person is saying and just to put it lightly, I have a tendency to let people walk all over me with my kindness. I can't just say no in certain situations. Whilst, Kendra speaks to her mind and if someone insults any of us, you can expect her to be the first one to start a fight with the other person.
Unknowingly, I almost missed the bus stop around the corner and sharply turned before I collided into a taller and well-built person which caused me to groan. "Im...so..sorry!" I said as I noticed my precious iPhone and blueberry crossiant splayed out on the floor, just great. I am starving and there goes my food. "Watch where your walking next time!" he said in a deeper tone of voice as he removed traces of crumbs off his jacket. Whoopsie! "Are you angry? I can give you money to get it cleaned or taken to the laundry or something?" that's one of the things I really hate, getting told off. Even if I know I am the one to blame for it. He looked directly at my face and something in his expression change and he just shook his head before saying, "It's fine, don't worry...just be careful next time,"
Taking a good look at him, he looks somewhat familiar but it's one of the moments where you just can't put a name to the face. He quickly walked past me and I was stunned for a second before I decided to pick up my phone and the remainings of my food and chucked it in the nearest bin. Well, that was a tad awkward. There goes my ten dollars down the drain, could barely even enjoy it. Asshole. Days when everything was just as serene as it could possible get in a busy city like this were moments to definitely be treasured, and the aroma of cupcakes and waffles wafted the air around me. Yep, life is currently great. The hustle and bustle of cars around the streets were definitely all gone, and this is defnitely the best way to explore the city. I gnawed on my my bottom lip as I walked past another bakery store, and this is definitely an expensive one...but it just looked way too good to pass up. All I had left was a measley five dollars in my pocket, can this even get me a small macaroon? My heart well my tummy practically dragged me inside the shop before my head could even catch up with what just happened.
"Good morning young lady! Welcome to Cupcake Delights," an old lady said with the utmost excitement in her face, only one of the few who actually seemed genuine about working in here, I don't blame them must be a drag serving snobby customers on a daily basis who rushed you to the extremes to get their order within a time frame of thirty seconds. I smiled and greeted at her in return, and she proceeded to clean the rest of the tables titill they were sparkling. Literally.
This place was breathtaking to say the least, you can definitely see the amount of money spent on the furnishings and interior design. The massive glass chandelier was probably worth thousands of dollars, the brass coloured doors and accents around added a slight historic feel, and the selections they have in this place is truely endless. I sighed dreamily, and clasped my hands together as I surveyed the dessert infront of me and made sure I did not salivate over the array of dishes. "Are you going to order something or just stand here all day?" a deep voice came from right behind me and I yelped in shock. How dare he! I briskly turned around and pointed my finger directly at his face, "I am trying to order food here, so can you please be patient!" No one messes with my food and I, especially desserts. He groaned silently but obviously not silent enough, "It's you again!" and I took a closer look at him before sneering at his face. "You! Destroyed my food! Are you stalking me or something!?" Okay, I am usually not this loud and vulgar in public but I have a feeling that time of the month is coming along, and it's making me constatnly hungry and moody. "I am a regular customer here, so can you not scream at my face. If you want, I can buy you the triple chocolate swirl cheesecake," my eyes flickered away for half a second but it is enough for him to notice, and he smirked knowing he won.
I am not letting him get to the better of me, "I don't even like cheesecake!" Lie. Complete lie, cheesecake is my most favourite dessert in the whole entire universe, so I walked off and went up to the counter surveying if there is anything I can purchase for under five dollars. Oh great, a small skinny Cappucino, the perfect thing to purchase in a place like this. "That will be $4.80 ma'am, is there anything else?" Yes, a slice of cheesecake and the Italian thick milk chocolate. Yeah, I wish. "No that is all," I said tapping my fingers in annoyance as I waited for my coffee. I want more food, what the hell. Unfortunately, I got no money left after shopping during the holidays practically everyday obviously made me broke as hell. Thanks Kendra!
I regretfully got a seat in the corner booth and practically chucked my bag filled with books on the ground in annoyance. I know I sound like the most annoying person in the world right now and probably crazy for obsessing over food so much at this point, but words cannot explain how hungry I am. I sipped on my cappucino, and stared out at the window to distract my growling stomach. Yeah, that got a bit boring and barely occupied my time so I decided to complain and bicker with Kendra for my lack of food right now. Complaining is a negative trait of mine that honestly cannot be helped. At a glance, that annoying guy caught my eye only to realize he is actually quite good looking himself. With silky dark brown hair, sparkling blue eyes- did I just say sparkling? I slapped my forehead and realized it hurt more than intended and he smirked at me from the other side. Slowly taking a bite of that cheesecake in attempts to make me jealous but he looked rather delicious himself, stop stop thinking already. Food is making you delusional. Yes that's right, food is the cause for all this... I think I have an addiction with food and it needs to be helped pronto.
A dish slided right in front of me and my eyes practically bugged out of their sockets. Triple...chocolate cheesecake. Right infront of my eyes, and both my hands reached out for it before it was snatched away from my line of view causing me to scream in frustration, "Ya! What are you doing?" "Do you want this?" Well no shit man, obviously. However, my pride is more important than anything else in the world for now. "No...I told you I hate cheesecake," I mumbled regretfully. Why am I being so stubborn and hard headed right now...it's really not my true nature. "You definitely do not look like the kind of person who hates cheesecake," "Are you calling me fat?" Before I could say anything else, he walked off and left me hanging. No, he didn't even leave the cheesecake, he walked off with it. Which is probably good if I am holding up my pride. Quickly drinking the remaining of my cappucino, I left a small tip and hailed a cab.
