Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Madeline's POV

It's 10am right now and I slept for quiet a long time, I started going through my phone passing my time since I'm lazy to get up and go to the bathroom

After about an hour I had to go pee so I reluctantly got up from the bed and went to the washroom. I did my morning routine too since I'm in the bathroom itself

I came back in the room and took my phone and went down stairs to make something for breakfast. There was and instant pancake mix so I whipped some pancakes.

I took my plate and sat on the dining table scrolling through tik toks, after sitting on the dinning table I went back to my room to list out all the things I can do today

I took my diary from the desk and sat on my bed to plan out my day. I am a person who will plan out things and write them down but will never follow but I like planning it out. I might not do everything from the tasks I've written down but I do some of them

I thought of going job hunting in the evening, I can earn something instead just sitting at home. I thought of working out so I changed into shorts and sports bra.

I worked out for an hour and went to take a shower. I turned the water cold and took a nice long bath scrubbing and shaving.

I changed into shorts and oversized shirt and went down to the living room with my paints and art book to paint something since I haven't done it in a long time. I sat near the couch such as my back is touching the legs of the couch, I kept my art book and paints on the coffee table and started painting a picture I had seen on Pinterest recently

Mid way while painting I get a call from adrina telling she's reached Italy and she's in her hotel room and resting. We talked for 15 minutes, talking about her view how she's already loving it and me telling her what I did since I woke up. After the call ended I texted sanya about her whereabouts, and continued with my painting

After few hours I completed the painting since I started getting distracted with my phone and talking to sanya, she reached few minutes back and is already enjoying the weather

I let the painting dry and went to the kitchen to make some lunch. I wanted to try and be the best version of myself this summer so I made something helthy for myself

After making my lunch which was basically avocado toast I sat on the dinning table to eat the lunch while my music is playing in the background, I love the aesthetic lifestyle

I went back to the living room and packed my book and art supplies and went back to my room. I kept everything on the designated places and decided to take my afternoon nap which is difficult when I have school going on

I set my alarm for an hour since I also have to go for job hunting and went to sleep after putting my phone on charge

I snoozed my alarm a few times and now it's 5:00 since I went to sleep at 3:00. I don't really regret since I don't get much sleep during school so it's good

I went to the bathroom to wash my face and went to my wardrobe and changed into some decent clothes which were pair of black leggings and a graphic shirt I recently purchased. I applied some lip balm and cheek tint and went outside

While locking the main door I could hear some noise so I turned to see a boy taking his luggage in grandma Lizzy's house. Whoever that is, is really tall and definitely goes to gym

Grandma lizzy is a sweet women in her 70s who lives opposite our house with her husband, they both are sweet pair of couple

I turned back and locked the door, I stopped at the stairs which leads to my house and texted my mom telling her I'm going job hunting. I wanted to walk around so I ditched my car

While walking around I found a library, I thought of trying my luck here. I went inside and a lady in her mid 30s was sitting on the front desk I went towards her

"Hello how may I help you" She asked while keeping her magazine down which she was reading

"I am actually looking for a job, is there any job available here?" I asked her while crossing my fingers

"I'm so sorry the vacancy is full. Hope you have a good luck somewhere else" She gave me a small smile

"Thank you" I smiled at her and went out

Well this was only the first try, I shouldn't leave hope. I again started looking for any places that would hire me and would be fun to work for

After walking a few lanes I found a cafe, I went inside on the front desk and asked for any jobs available

"There is one at the cash counter actually. Do you have your resume with you?" She asked, good thing I had it in my phone for emergency

I gave her my phone with my resume, I started looking around the cafe while she reads my resume. Its a cute cafe with neutral colours, it has a photo booth too

"We can discuss the payment tomorrow when you join, we can discuss your schedule too" She said with a smile

I thanked her and went out feeling happy, I opened the group chat and informed adrina and sanya about the job.

I thought of spending some time in the nearby park which was a 5 minute walk from the cafe. I plugged in my airpods and walked towards the park

Since it's just the beginning of summer it wasn't really hot, the breeze was making my hair flow, now it does feel good when this happens but later it just make my hair turn into knots so I tied my hair with the hair band around my wrist

As I reached the park there were kids playing around, and parents either talking with other parents or playing with their kids, there were only 3-4 people around my age

After spending some time I decided to walk back home . After a 15 minute walk I reached home. I could see grandma Lizzy watering her plants so I called out for her

"Good evening grandma Lizzy" She looked up and smiled at me I waved at her. I crossed the road and stood in front of her lawn, she has a wall bulit in outside her lawn to protect her plants

"Good evening mads, how are you?" She asked

"I'm good just went out for job hunting" I said

"Are you staying here for the summers?" She asked with furrowed eyebrows

"Yeah mom and dad are busy we can't go anywhere" I said while shrugging

"Oh you poor, so did you get the job?" She asked

"Yes I did I'm probably starting tomorrow" I said with a smile being happy for getting my first job

"That's really good" She said while patting my head "My grandson came today to spend his summers with us, you should meet him someday"

"I'll make sure to drop by tomorrow, I need to go now" I said

"Bye take care" She said

I waved at her and went back home. I went to my room to wash my face later I went down to make dinner for my parents

After 30 minutes the dinner was ready, it wasn't dinner time but better to make it now then later. I can just heat the food when they come

After an hour both of my parents came in and wished me

"Should I serve the dinner" I asked

"Sure, thankyou Mads, we will freshen up and come back"

Mom said while going upstairs and dad following her

After a few minutes they both came down, we had our dinner while they told me about their day and I told them how I got a job and the talk with grandma Lizzy

After dinner we wished eachother good night and went to bed. I started a new series, I was tired so I slept after watching 2 episodes
