When it was Alex's turn she smiled directly at the cashier. After trying to determine certain things about all of the people in the coffee shop she currently had no idea what she wanted. [i]"What can I get you, Miss?"[/i] Her eyes flicked to the menu board hanging above the cash register naming the first thing she saw under the pressure of the long queue of customers behind her and the forced smile of the cashier. [b]"I'll have the uh, Caramel Frappuccino?"[/b] she said in utter confusion, she had no idea what she had ordered. It sounded alright though. The cashier looked confused too as she asked for the amount wanted and Alex slowly handed over the notes. She politely told the cashier to keep the change, considering how much confusion she had just caused between the two of them. Following the line as they moved towards the collection point, she leant against the back wall making sure she wasn't in the way of the rushing Starbucks workers dashing around to give the awaiting customers what they have ordered. Her eyes began to wonder around the store again, many people seeming to know each other pretty well chatting happily along as Alex waited for her beverage in the corner. Most of the time she was alone due to the fact that she never really had a lot of friends because of having to stay home to pick up the pieces for her drunk mother or look after her younger brother. However, she wasn't complaining the bond she had with Jordan was more than she could ever ask for. Family used to be important to her until both of her parents let her down. Now all that truly matters to her is her brother and she doesn't mind about that.

[i]"Caramel Frappuccino?"[/i] The sound of a polite lady calling the drink from the side snapped Alex away from her daydream. She held the drink out with one hand, trying to carry on making the other orders with another. The worker seemed to be slowly getting annoyed that no one had collected their drink, having to have called out the drink multiple times until someone finally realised. [b]"I'm sorry, uh, thank you!"[/b] Alex said quietly, taking the drink from the woman's hand, her cheeks flashing red. Making eye contact with the lady as she turned, she made sure she smiled an apologetic smile but the worker just turned and carried on with her hectic day. Alex turned to rush off back to her apartment but seeing as their was an open table free, she slid into the seat and made herself comfortable, quite enjoying people watching and going into her own little daydreams. Being back to herself, Alex examined what sort of drink she managed to get herself, she saw someone drinking something looking like this as she walked in and it did look quite tasty. Alex took a tester sip from the straw, it was average, she could deal with it. Slowly she slumped back in her seat her drink in hand as she watched the world go on around her.
