WHO: Piper McLean and OPEN WHAT: Job hunting and having a Pumpkin Spice Latte WHEN: Monday afternoon WHERE: Starbucks WARNINGS: TBD, probably not STATUS: Open/Ongoing
Piper had been looking forward to fall, and was thrilled that it was finally here. She loved the leaves, and the cooler weather...things she'd never really known in LA when she'd lived there with her dad. Halloween was coming up, too, and Jason and Leo were already planning a party. She'd have to have her input too, however, because she couldn't imagine that either of them were real experts at party planning. Jason in particular. Of course, she was basically just so happy that he was alive here that she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt much more than she would have naturally.
It was also hitting her that she needed to find a job before Christmas. She needed to have some money to buy stuff for her friends, and even if she could just work weekends and after school, it would be nice to have some money of her own. She'd been relying on her guardian for too long.
Still, she had enough money for and was desperately craving a Pumpkin Spice Latte (the first of the season!) so she opened the door at Starbucks and stepped inside. She ordered her Latte, then retrieved it and took her seat at one of the few empty seats in the store. Then she opened the copy of the newspaper she carried to the classifieds. Was she likely to find something here? Who knew. But it was a start.
