My Life In A Guitar Case

Bia's POV:

I wake up, my face plastered into the sand I fell asleep on. Last night I had wondered around until I reached the local park, where I fell asleep under the slide. Nice. Classy as always, Bi.
I get up, and grab my guitar case. I have extra money left from yesterday, about 10 dollars. Coffee it is.

I walk the two blocks to Caribou, because Starbucks is overrated, and Caribou is cheaper. People fill the streets, bumping in to me and shooting me dirty looks. After living by myself on the streets for awhile, you notice that people are always grumpy. It's a special day when you see someone smile and look happy.

I reach Caribou, and walk into the warm, sweet coffee scented air. Yum. The workers at Caribou know me well, since I go there often. Today, Karly was working the register and Axel and Alex were mixing the drinks. (Axel and Alex are identical twins, mind you.) Karly looks up, and sees me.

"Hey Bia, what's cracka lackin?"

"Same ol' same ol'" I reply.

I look up at the menu, even though I really don't need it. I always get the same thing.

"I'll have the usual, one small black coffee."

Karly smiles and nods her head. Alex and Axel exchange a look.

"You're making this job too easy for us Bia... You should really order something more complicated sometime." Alex smiles.

"Eh..." I reply. "I like my coffee plain and simple. Plus, it's cheaper!"

All three of them laugh. None of them know I'm homeless-that would just be embarrassing, letting them know that I don't have enough money to afford sugary expensive drinks.

Axel finishes making my cup of heaven and sets it down on the counter with a small smile.

"Here you are, my lady." He says with a medieval sounding accent.

I laugh, and grab the drink.

"Thank you kind sir!" I respond with the same voice.

Axel glances around at the almost empty cafe and then back at me.

"So, I was wondering something... I- I mean. Um. Are you like homeless?" Axel looks at me, his eyes trying to meet mine.

Crap. I can feel my face get warm and I know it's bright red.

"Um, yeah I guess." I respond. "I should really-uh-go..." I point over my shoulder to the door and quickly walk towards it. Why does my life have to suck so much? I'm sprinting out the door when I hear my name being called.

"Bia!"

I look back, and it's Axel, Alex, and Karly standing at the door, looking heartbroken. I turn away. It's so embarrassing.
