`make you come alive
Chesiree walked down the sidewalk of Pioneer Square, her destination straight ahead. After finishing an exhausting 5 page essay on the theory of.....whatever it was, Ches was ready for some socialization. Even though school wasn't reallt that bad, Ches hated being stuck inside her dorm for hours on end. Chesiree stepped up to the doorway of Elliott Bay's and pushed open the door. The aroma of coffee immediately filled her, and she headed straight towards the corner of the store, the cafe. Chesiree had only been here once before, and their caramel latte was fabulous. Not to mention their frothy cappuccinos. Pretty good for a bookstore. Chesiree stopped in her tracks and stepped to the left, the magazine shelf. She picked up the newest issue of Vogue and continued to the counter of the caffe to order.
The girl behind the counter looked at Chesiree expectantly, obviously impatient. Chesiree's eyebrows pulled together in a 'what's your problem?' face. "I'll have a cappuccino please." Chesiree looked around the bookstore while the girl prepared the drink. She really hoped one of her friends would be here today, Ches was in the mood to talk. "Here." Ches turned around and put a five dollar bill on the counter. "Keep the change." She said sweetly, and headed to one of the small tables. Ches sat down and sipped the Italian drink, slowly flipping the pages of her magazine. She should come her more often, it was actually very peaceful.
Getting tired of the magazine, Chesiree shifted it to the side and sat back in her chair, enjoying the bittersweet smell of her cappuccino, and watching the people around her. She knew some of them from school, then there were children holding their mothers hand while she tugged them along the shelves, and some older men reading, and one teenage girl who she didn't recognize, but had the cutest skirt on. Chesiree looked down at her own attire, a pair of black skinny jeans and a black graphic tee, along with her converse. She would have to go shopping soon. Chesiree took another sip of the steaming liquid, and sighed.
