Kill the Lights
Namine was feeling the same eerie cheeriness as before. She silently wondered if she would throw up again. She shuddered and plopped down onto the soft cream colored sofa. She grabbed the remote and switched to the news. Nothing interesting. She flipped boredly through the channels. Nothing seemed to be on. She sighed and decided on going out. She changed into a tank top and capris. She grabbed the key to her room and slid it into her back pocket. As she stepped onto the pavement, a thought came to mind. Wait, where am I going?? At that moment she looked up. And when she looked up she saw the café-like store thingy. Starbuck's Coffee*. It was perfect. She didn't know how but it was. She stepped over the curb onto the tar covered street. She walked quickly, but slowly at the same time. Perhaps it was perfect because she was so peppy this morning. Or maybe so she didn't have to go anywhere far away. She hadn't known there was a Starbuck's in front of her building. She shrugged to herself and pushed the glass door open. Soon enough, she was surrounded with the scent of coffee and all sorts of sweet, and bitter, smells. She immediately felt more awake. She walked up to the front counter and ordered.
"Just a black coffee… and one of those brownies…"
"Okie dokie. That'll be seven dollars and fifty five cents."
She pulled out the credit card she always had with her. She rarely used it, but today she was feeling lazy. Odd, since she was, well, hyper. She sat down at a small table. She held the coffee with both hands, and sipped it carefully. Strong. She looked around the room. She didn't know anyone yet, so she wouldn't see anyone she knew. She took a cautious bite of the brownie. It was very… fudgey.
