Surprisingly, Lisa, Tappy, and Alex were already in the cafe`; 3 hours before Sofie dicho she would be there.
"Sofie! Your early." Tappy greeted her. She took her bag off the chair she had saved for her after pushing her hair into her black hoodie. Sofie sat down just as the waitress walked over to them. She had almost the same hair as Alex-- a short-cut brown and blonde highlighted style. On parte superior, arriba of her head was a rosado, rosa rynstoned cap. Sofie looked over to Lisa, who glanced at the woman's name tag which read Sumer.
"Hey, Sofie. You've been coming here a lot lately, haven't you?" Sumer asked.
"Yeah. Me and my friends."
Sumer glanced around the table.
"Right.. your friends.." Tappy and Alex frowned at her. "Well, what'll it be?" Sumer took out a small green notepad from the front of her cafe` delantal pocket.
"Usual." She smiled.
"Milk-Coffee, with that little tap of whipped cream tu like on the top?"
Sofie giggled.
"Yeah, Sumer."
"'Kay." She turned and swiftly walked away. When she was gone, Sofie turned back to the 3 people beside her.
"Lisa," Lisa looked up.
"Yeah?"
"Do tu think I'm worn-out and look tired all the time?" She asked.
"No. Why?"
"Before I left, Camille reminded me to put on some "nice clothes" for tomorrows sale. She dicho a looked "too tired" in my chaqueta with my hair up."
"THAT-- Sofie, your not tired. Your fine. tu look fine." Alex told her.
"Yeah. Maybe if tu just.. smiled once and a while.." Tappy began to play with her hair avoiding eye-contact with her friend.
"Thanks."
"You wanted the truth, right?"
"Yeah, I did."
She sat back in her chair and was silent for a moment.
"Have tu asked Henry how tu look?" Lisa asked. Sumer returned carrying a tray with a small off-white mug and slid it over to Sofie.
"Here tu go, hun." She smiled and walked away again.
Sofie took a sip and studied over Lisa's question.
"Ask Henry, huh?"
"No; I dicho have tu asked Henry how tu look."
"No. He tells me I look fine all time."
"That jerk." Alex interuppted.
"What?" Tappy said, recently going through her purse, she glanced up at him.
"I don't like Henry. He's so stuck-up, and all he ever wants to talk about is his book."
"He does not!" Sofie stood up, defending her boyfriend. "He's just excited about getting it published."
"Has he ever asked tu about your day? o how your feeling?" Alex said, raising his eyebrow at her. Lisa stuck a piece of gum in her mouth as she listened intentivly.
"Well.."
"Exactly. Some boyfriend.."
Sofie's mind raced with thoughts until it landed on something that had been nipping her for the past 15 minutes.
"Oh no!" I have to go meet someone!"
"Who?" Tappy smiled.
"This guy.. for my sister!" Sofie grabbed her rojo oscuro leather capa she had laid on the back of her chair and slurped the last of her coffee. "See tu guys tomorrow o something!" Dashing out the door, her friends tilted their heads down without another word, listening to the gentle hum of jazz música playing in the back round.
