"Would you like a club sandwich?" The air-hostess asks us, dragging her food cart.
"Is it vegetarian?" Phoebe enquires.
"No. But we do have veg sandwiches. Would you like one mam?" She asks her.
"Can I have a club sandwich?" I ask her.
"Me too." Alexandra quips.
She hands us our sandwiches before making her way towards the other passengers.
"A ham sandwich, huh, Alexandra?" Phoebe questions, her eyebrows raised.
"We are up in the air baby. I am no longer obliged to follow my parent's traditions." She says.
I chuckle at that. The thing was Alexandra and Phoebe were both vegetarians since birth. Although Alexandra is quite a rule breaker when it comes to eating habits, Phoebe is a strict vegetarian.
"If they serve alcohol, I am taking it without hesitation," Alexandra says.
"Nope. You will do no such thing. You are a sad drunk, and this is a long journey. S

I woke up to the sound of Phoebe trying to wake us up. I sat up on the bed, my mind trying to process my surrounding. I was confused for a second before I remembered that we had reached Edinburgh. I rubbed my eyes and face planted myself on the bed again. My body felt sore, and all I wanted to do was to sleep the tiredness away."A few more minutes!" I whine. My face still squished against the hotel blankets. The temperature was still cold, although it was summer in Scotland."Get your ass out of bed Celeste," Phoebe says, throwing a pillow at me."Geez, I am up woman," I reply. I stay in bed a little while, staring into the wall ahead of me, contemplating whether it was even worth getting out of bed."Soon," Phoebe adds."Ughh," I whine, before finally getting out of bed. I take my toiletries and go towards the bathroom. I freshen up and try to tame my hair that looked like a nest on top of my head.I com

"Hello, Girls!" Robert greeted. We each shook hands with him, greeting him and introducing ourselves."How do you find Edinburgh so far?" He questions."Like a fairytale," I answered."Yeah, I usually hear it a lot. I am glad that you like it here." He said with a smile."Shall we go ahead and check out the apartments?" He questioned. We nodded our heads and let him lead the way. We had informed Robert that we needed to find an apartment that was close to the university, so that we wouldn't waste much time and expenses on travel. He had informed us that the apartments closer to the university were a little expensive, but that he would make sure that we find a reasonable one.Robert spoke to us openly, making jokes here and there. His warm personality brightened up the room. He was as old as my father, and talking to him reminded me of the very thing that I was missing. This was not the time to start crying, Celeste!&nb

'This is my bedroom. I will have to set it up later and also unpack my bags later.' I tell my mother, showing her my bedroom on the video call."You have such a nice view. I am so jealous of you.' My sister butts in.'You are always jealous of me Sylvia, for reasons that I am yet to know of.' I replied, rolling my eyes at her.'What have you girls planned to do today. Exploring the city yet?' my mother questions. I sit down on the bed and turn the camera towards me.'We planned to go grocery shopping and get some items for the apartment. Exploring the city will be for someday later.' My mother nods her head.'Okay, I will end the call. You go do what you have to do." I bid both of them goodbye before ending the call.I place my phone on the nightstand that was beside the bed. I made a mental note to unpack my bags after we were done with shopping.I walked back and forth in my room, taki

"This lights can go here," I suggest. We had been decorating the apartment for a while now. We were done with all the arranging and setting up. Us working together helped us finish the work much sooner than we anticipated."Let's make mac and cheese tonight," Alexandra says."Yes! The kitchen looks so pretty now. It makes me want to cook." I reply."Let's celebrate with some alcohol. Let's celebrate this new apartment, us being here. Everything." Phoebe says."Then I guess we will need something more special than simple mac and cheese," I add."I know just what to do," I exclaimed, clapping my hands in excitement."I am going to do Gnocchi, but I don't like it when too many people are there in the kitchen. So leave that to me." I say. They nod their heads."Then I will make some roasted butter garlic mushrooms and some roasted broccoli. " Alexandra pipes in."And I will get the wi

“Swipe right on him!” Phoebe took my phone out of my hand and swiped right on the guy.“I was going to do that.” I took my phone back from her.My phone screen lit up. I was greeted with the notification that said ‘Celeste and Brian, matched.’“Text him!” Phoebe screamed.“I am not going to text him first,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.“Guys can’t text first on bumble.” Alexandra reminded me again.“What should I say?” I asked them.“You know what, text him tomorrow. Don’t do it right away.” Alexandra suggests. I nod and place my phone on the coffee table.“I think it’s safe enough to get drunk now,” Alexandra says.I get up from my place and go to the kitchen. I retrieve the bottle of vodka and a few other juices to make a cockta

My head was pounding, and my whole body was aching. The sunlight filtered in through my window, and I groaned at its intensity. I smothered my face in the pillow, trying my best to keep the sunlight away from my face. I should remember to put up curtains later if I ever wanted to sleep in peace without the sunlight waking me up.Why were hangovers such a pain in the arse? I tried focusing my attention on the voices, but the apartment was dead silent. Looks like both Phoebs and Alexa, were still sleeping. I decided to sleep for a while too.I had a nagging thought at the back of my head that I was forgetting something important. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember. I shrugged it off and went back to sleep.----"I fucked up big time!" I heard Alexa shout. Her voice rang in my ears, bringing in another wave of pain."Oh for fuck's sake can you keep it down? Some of us are having a hangover here." I shouted back. The

"I am back!" I hear Alexa shout from the front door. I walked out of the room to hear about everything that happened there. She was in there for quite some time, and I was curious as to what had gone down."So?" Phoebe coaxed.Alexa went all red and started fidgeting with her fingers. Now, this was interesting."Are you going to spit it out or are you going standing there blushing for another hour?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow."He-uh- he asked me out." She replied, her voice barely above a whisper."What!" Both Phoebe and I said at the same time."I told him that I was drunk last time, and I wasn't thinking straight." She started. We kept quiet so that she could complete telling the story."He looked me straight in the eye and told me that he did not regret that I kissed him. And the next moment, he is asking me out." She replied. The pink still coating her cheeks."Awww." I

"Don't overwork yourself. Take things slow. You don’t have to take all the responsibilities.” Phoebe says.“I know. I was able to get a loan only for the first semester. I will have to do something and come up with the money for the next one too. And then there is the rent too.” I hated thinking about money. The moment I started worrying about the finances, that’s when I started having anxiety attacks. Somedays it just got worse, that I wouldn’t be able to sleep the whole night.“We can help you with the rent a bit.” Phoebe offers. I shake my head, no.“I can’t accept that. I can’t always depend on you guys when you have your shit to take care of.” I reply. Phoebe frowns.“There’s nothing wrong with taking some help sometimes,” Phoebe says softly.“I know. And trust me I am so grateful that I have you guys.” I tell her
