Surprisingly, Lisa, Tappy, and Alex were already in the cafe`; 3 hours before Sofie sagte 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 oben, nach oben of her head was a 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` schürze pocket.
"Usual." She smiled.
"Milk-Coffee, with that little tap of whipped cream Du 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 Du 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 sagte a looked "too tired" in my jacke with my hair up."
"THAT-- Sofie, your not tired. Your fine. Du look fine." Alex told her.
"Yeah. Maybe if Du 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 Du asked Henry how Du look?" Lisa asked. Sumer returned carrying a tray with a small off-white mug and slid it over to Sofie.
"Here Du go, hun." She smiled and walked away again.
Sofie took a sip and studied over Lisa's question.
"Ask Henry, huh?"
"No; I sagte have Du asked Henry how Du 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 Du about your day? oder 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 dunkelrot leather mantel she had laid on the back of her chair and slurped the last of her coffee. "See Du guys tomorrow oder something!" Dashing out the door, her Friends tilted their heads down without another word, listening to the gentle hum of jazz Musik playing in the back round.
