Coffee Shop

She watched the raindrops hit the window next to her, and absently reached to touch the smooth cold glass. She signed and looked back at the coffee cup in her hands. Lifting the cup to her lips, she took a slow sip and let the brown liquid linger in her mouth for a few second, savoring the taste.

Another lonely day, she though, as she tucked in a stray strand of golden hair behind her ear.

Her blue eyes held a look of sadness.

She looked around the small coffee shop she had been sitting in for an hour or so. There were people everywhere. College students on laptops, couples sitting in tables for two, or groups of friends cuddled in the corners talking about whatever nonsense went on that day. Everyone seemed happy, and in good company. But that day, that entire week, Serena had been alone.

Much to her friends surprise, she had been accepted to a college in a different town. Sure, it was only a few hours or so away from home, a quick roadtrip, but she couldn't help but feel completely alone. She had a sever case of homesickness, and she knew it.

Even though she felt as if she was on borderline depression, Serena knew she couldn't ignore this opportunity. Her friends had been so happy for her.

"Wow Serena, you got accepted into a college? Are you sure it's not a rejection letter..." Her friend has asked her skeptically.

"Raye! I'm sure it isn't. Read it for yourself if you want to!"

The raven haired girl peered over her friends shoulder to read the letter in the blonde's hands.

"Wow. I guess you weren't kidding.."

"Raye, stop being so hard on her. Serena I'm so proud of you!"

"Thanks Amy. But I don't know.. I'll be so far away from all of you. I'm not sure I can do it"

The girls looked at Serena with a worried expression on their faces. The blond looked so sad, and yet so happy at the same time.

"Hey girl, you know you're only a car trip away! We can all go visit you and you can come back home whenever you want!"

"Mina's right! You know you can always stay at my place if you need to, Serena!"

"Yeah Serena, you can stay with Lita if you ever come visit. And you know the temple always has extra rooms for you!"

"Thanks guys" she had said to them, with tears in her eyes.

That had been so long ago. Maybe I should call them... Catch up. I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from me. Right? She sighed again. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She reached over the chair next to her, and grabbed her purse. It was a nice Louis Vuitton, that was actually worth quite a bit of money. Serena had been lucky enough to spot it at a thrift store in her new town, and quickly purchased it for a reasonable priced after finding out it was authentic. Pulling on the gold colored zipper, she slipped her hand inside and went on a mental hunt for her cell phone. Once she found it, she checked the time. It's 3:00pm already? Deciding she had been there long enough, she grabbed her blue pea coat that had been resting on the back of her chair and put it on. The wool was nice and warm, and the hood was big enough to help her hide from the rain pouring outside. Her eyes wondered back out the window, and she stared at the rain drops hitting the glass yet again. Hm. I love the rain... It's so peaceful.

Just as she was turning around to leave, she hadn't even taken a single step when she had already felt herself fully bumping into another person. The strangers coffee went flying straight towards her and all that could be heard in the small coffee shop were the screams of horror that came from the small blond after being scalded with their medium sized serving of caffeinated goodness.

Author's Note or some ridiculousness like that:

This is my first attempt at ever writing anything besides a short drabble of some sort.

Review? I'd like to know if this even sounds remotely interesting.
