2. a pair of strangers

October.3.2022

Ivy is a girl who is from a very small town in colorado who always feels like she never fits in and all she wanted to do is move away from that town and never look back so she did exactly that, When she was 18 she moved to new york bought a small apartment with her best friend and they both starting working at a cafe right down the street and to this day they still work there.
she loves reading, writing and listening to music while driving at night feeling the wind flow through her long blonde hair, she adores cats especially her cat Robin, she loves marvel movies and cuddling.
She has always had bad anxiety but it got worse as she got older she never felt as if she ever amounted to anything she was terrible at school never wanted to go to college she had no idea what she wanted to do with her life all she had was a little bit of family and her one wonderful friend, ivy treasured them all.

Now Gracie who obviously doesn't even know Ivy exists is a famous singer and model with famous parents she's from LA but she moved to new york. she has beautiful caramel colored eyes which Ivy has Taken a liking too for the past two years, She enjoys baking, she writes music and thinks of it as therapy, she loves listening to green day and journaling also like Ivy she likes to read, she loves her parents, her two brothers, and her best friends abby and Audrey.

Everything started two years ago when the girls locked eyes at the corner cafe which just so happened to be ivy's place of work, she went on and ordered her oak milk iced latte with honey, ivy knew who gracie because she listened to her music all the time she is a huge fan but she wasn't going to act stupid in front of her no she was gonna act professional.

Ivy's pov
come on ivy don't fuck it up "oak milk iced latte with honey for gracie" i say while trying my best to keep my cool she walks up to me smiles and says thank you then waves to me as she leaves to sit at a table, i let out a breath i didn't even know i was holding in when i saw her turn the corner.

she is so perfect

She walks in almost everyday to order her coffee, sits in the corner and drinks it while she's writing in some journal. I find it hard not to stare at her when she looks so beautiful even if she's just drinking her coffee and writing. I always wonder what she writes is it more songs or is she just journaling.
As the shy anxious person i am i never asked for her number or asked if she wants to go on a date even though Rosie has told me so many times that i should put myself out there but no i'll just go home take a extremely hot shower write somethings probably read then go to bed yes i know my life is very interesting.

Incoming call from roopaul
i run to the back to answer her call

"hey ro are you working today"

"yeah i'm coming for my shift in like 20 minutes, anyway I was thinking you wanna hang out ? i get off at 6."

"okay i get off at 3 i'll order pizza"

"yesss please i can't wait to see robin again i miss her" *she fake cries*

"wow you miss my cat but you don't miss me that's rude plus you left town for two days"

"i miss you both dummy"
"okay bye whore"
"bye slut"

Ivy and Rosie have been friends since they were in 5th grade when someone was bullying Rosie ivy stomped her way over to the irritating boy and kicked him in the crotch so of course after that they were each others ride or dies.
