The leaves of the trees around the street dances around as the breeze comes and goes,

the ground covered in snow and so were the trees

Dim light coming from the small shops nearby as the keepers tries to bring in customers.

An ocean right behind the shops on the right, signs around the beach that says to not throw around trash which was followed.

The street lights flickering, few cars entering and exiting the tunnel of both ends.

The bushes and leaves of the tree aggressively moved as a group of bikers drove past them at a speed, but not passing the limit.

As the group went on, one biker with a large pink sticker went infront of everyone and did a wheelie.

The biker that in front glances at him but didn't say anything to him, instead he did a small wheelie to join the fun.

The other bikers could hear the two laughing through the earbuds which they all wore.

'Hey guys, I'm stopping by the bakery later, someone come with me.' one asked, likely a female.

'Uhm, it's alright if I don't come right? I have some work at home.' Another female replied, sounding younger than the other.

'You should go alone, others have things to do at home you know.' the biker behind her told her, he sounded grumpy.

'Then you come with me, you don't even do anything.' She huffed, slowly down as he drives besides her only for the two to start cursing with eachother.

As the ride went on with the two arguing and the two in the front laughing and speaking to eachother about doing a wheelie

A sigh was heard from another '...Otto, Esta, please stop arguing...' He says, loud enough for the two who was arguing to hear crystal clear.

'He started it first, better not blame me.' She looks at her rear view mirror so that she can look at Kevin, the one who told them to stop fighting 'You'll come me, since on one wants to'

'Shut it, and don't forget, you still own me 50 SEK.' Otta says as he goes infront of her, not waiting for an answer.

It went back to silence after that as no one actually had anything to say. The bikers just enjoyed the breeze as they all had their visor screen up.

Passing by a small farm that was far from the town, couple of children on that farm, most likely an orphanage is near that farm.

The sun setting was as beautiful as yesterday, the sun looks so close yet in reality it's far...

Slowing down as they drive past locals maybe even tourist, it will be difficult to run away from the police when it's so crowded.

"I'm going off here, bye guys, tomorrow if possible" Esta said to her friends, taking a left turn with Kevin who also bid his farewell for the day.

The rest going to their own homes with different paths, if only they were all neighbours it would've been much better since they're all different ages except of two of three of them.

As the two made their way to the bakery, they dropped their bike off right infront of the bakery, leaning on the window.

The bell ringing as Esta entered first, Kevin holding the door for her, being respectful even though it's not needed.

She knew exactly what she wanted, eyes glazing at that chocolate eclair and never leaving it.

Kevin also decided that since he's here he should take something back home for his father and elder sisters, looking around the bakery

Everything looked amazing, the buns, the breads, the cakes... everything looked so delicious but unfortunately he couldn't buy everything in the bakery.

Esta walks up to the backer and smiles as she leans on the counter, the backer smiling back and lifting her head to maintain eye contact with her. 'You are taller than me young lady' she chuckled, always ready to pack up the pastries

'Thank you auntie, not to mention how beautiful you look, were you a model when you were young?' she laughed back before clearing her throat to place her order

The backer smiles, flattered 'Oh my, thank you very much'

The door gently swinging open, some snow landing inside the bakery as a small boy wearing a thick grey sweater and white glove entered the bakery with his mother, his eyes were filled with excitement and his mother who seemed exhausted due to his energatic son 'Mommy come fast! I want to eat the eclairs!' he tugged on her dress with excitement

Little did he know, Esta wants all the eclairs, even when he wanted it more than her, she will have it, she will.

"I'll have all the eclairs on stock" she speaks, so that the child can hear it she makes sure that she was loud enough by saying "There's not much left, that's why." and smiled yet again

making the child widen his eyes and take a few moments before he burst into tears and started to spin around the floor, throwing a huge tantrum which made his mother embarrassed

Kevin, who saw the boy crying immediately turned to Esta who was just smiling '...did she..?' he scratched the back of his neck and walked up to Esta as the backer hurriedly packed the eclairs for her

'You did something?' he whispered to which she shook her head and extanded her hand to take the box of eclairs "Nope, I'll wait for you, you can take what you want." she says

"Thank you auntie, here's the money" she digs through her pocket deep and takes her small yet stuffed wallet out and placed the money on the table with a tip.

Kevin was suspicious of that answer but he couldn't just asume, can he? '... if you say so' he muttered, also placing his order and paying for it.

As they leave Kevins looks back "Have a nice evening auntie." he waved as they both left the bakery, holding the box of pastries in one hand he asks "Should I drop you off?"

"Nah, it's alright, no need to waste your time." She response while hoping on the bike with the box sitting, tied infront of her "Anyways, goodnight. We'll meet in school again, bye." she starts as goes of slow but increases her speed as the crowd begins to decrease

Kevin as well, hoping on his bike with the box also tied infront of him so it won't fall off when he's in the middle of riding.

The sun already set but the lamps hanging from the roof of the stores, stalls and trees outside made it light, creating a welcoming aura

The sun replaced by the dazzling grey moon

Esta bobbing her head as she hummed along the music she was listening to, 'thought you how to be a real maaan...' she muttered, listening to Real Man. She shivered as the weather became more chilly

Her house in sight, she slowed down as the entered inside the gate and parked her bike in her small garrage and hopped off

taking her helmet off and placing it on the seat, gloves inside her pocket as she opened the backdoor which is connected to the kitchen

As the door creeked open, a pillow flew to her face, smacking her right between her eyes 'urk-'

She glanced at her little brother and his bestfriend in the living room both starring at her, behind them was a mess they created while she was in school...

'What in the fucking rat did you two do?' she picked the pillow with one hand as the other held the box of eclairs

"Oh! What's that?!" Her little brother ran to her like he was his favorite superhero in real, the bestfriend too, he ran up to her to see what was inside the box

"Nuh uh, first the tidy the living room or you two aren't getting to eat it." She huffed as she placed the box on the table, indirectly telling them to clean small living room up if they wanted to eat the pastry.

"We'll clean the room! Come on Daniel, let's clean it up and eat" the brother said excited, dashing to the living room while grabbing his bestfriend's hand.

The two full of excitement tidied the living room, every pillow in it's own couch, the table clean with the paint and brushes on the edge

Sitting down on the chair as Esta placed plates on the table and handed eclairs to each, three of the younger ones and two for her

"Where's the thank you?"

"Thank you groß Schemes Esta." her brother, Karim, says as he takes a huge bite of the eclair

"Thank you." Daniel spoke before taking a bite of the eclair, daniel could only describe the eclair as extremely delicious

Esta glanced at the clock that was on the wall above the fridge, also taking a bite of the eclair "You two better not have made a mess out of my room" she looked back at the two

Daniel nodded, his mouth stuffed with two eclairs which he shoved in, same situation with Karim...

Esta broke the last eclair in half and put both inside her mouth, picking up her plate and sliding it to the sink as the turned the tap on

the water flushing down from the tap already cleaning the plate "If you two are with the plates bring it, and don't make a mess in the room." she yawned, tired.

"yeah suuure" Karim rolled his eyes when he heard his elder sister tell him and his bestfriend not to make a mess out of his room, they were obviously going to

but in the end of the day, it's Esta who will scold them and force them to tidy it

"Let's go daniel." Karim turns to Daniel as he keeps the plates on the sink and runs upstairs to his room so that they could play.

Their room was right above the kitchen, which made Esta hesr every step they make and some few words that came out from their mouth.

Esta finsihed cleaning the plates and walked up to the fridge, two callenders of 2024 and 2025 taped on the door with X marks starting from April 1st 2024 to December 31st of 2024.

"Hm, I forgot to cross today" she speaks to herself, looking for the marker and crossing today's date out, 10th of January 2025.

Her eyes wandering off to April 1st of 2025, her gaze was always stuck to that date "Three more months" she yawned yet again, shiver ran down her spine "brrr... it's so darn cold, I need to sleep now."

Tossing the marker on the counter as she goes up the stairs and to her bedroom which is across Karim's, the stairs and the upstairs bathroom door creating a border between the two siblings room.

Her room was near yet it was messy, but, she won't call it messy, it's just the way that she had arranged her things

She had painting on her walls, she had painted some on the walls while the others were the paintings that liked and hanged them inside the room.

A beige carpet right under her circle corner bed with a three windows around it, the windows covered with a curtain that had clips on it.

Changing her clothes, she went to her pyjamas and flopped to her bed, peeking at the white table clock that was on the small table besides her bed, it had some stickers on it "... right, there's a hang out tomorrow " she blinked

"I'll have to pay 50 SEK to Otto..." she pressed her face against the soft mattress, pulling a thick and fluffy blanket over her head and soon enough, she was asleep.

It began to snow again, the curtains still on the side of the window which allows dim light from outside to the room, some beige coloured copper string light around her room ceiling.
