Chapter 174: Coffee Shop Dilemma's

After spending the evenings staying up late talking with Trixie, I felt refreshed when I woke the next morning. Granted, I was still nervous about how things were going to go, but at least I had a clearer mind going into it. I wasn’t as stressed out about my position, and though I felt like I had to impress certain people, I would do it on my own terms.

I climbed out of bed, stretched my arms over my head, and made my way to the bathroom to get dressed. Determination surged through me to prove to myself I could be the person I was supposed to be. But first of all, I was going to need a lot of caffeine in my system in order to be able to accomplish what I needed to get done.

Heading out of my room, fully dressed and prepared for the day, I made my way down the corridors trying to follow the steps I had taken with Freya from the night before. Sansa was supposed to be meeting me, and the two of us were going to go up to the local cafe to get a bit of coffee and catch up on what had been going on.

I was informed by Trixie last night with my position I was no longer going to be allowed to attend the school, which is a bit shocking because I was hoping to catch back up with people. Even though there were a lot of people there that didn't care for me.

There were still some I did enjoy speaking with on a daily basis, like Kathy from my magic class.

Letting out a heavy sigh, I tried not to let everything bother me and instead continued on my path, out the front doors of the building and down the street towards the cafe where I knew Sansa would be waiting for me.

It was beautiful outside, as it always was, but the more I walked down the street, the more I realized people were stopping and staring at me. Hushed whispers, excited faces, even smiles, while other people seem to be slightly concerned.

I wasn't quite sure why they were looking at me like this. I mean, granted, Odin did come before everybody to say I was the new heir apparent, a word I couldn't stand hearing, but I was just like anybody else. I wasn't going to be like these other gods and goddesses who thought they were better than everybody, although there were a select few who didn't.

I closed in on the cafe and was excited at having the coffee I needed this morning. As the doorbell chimed above me, people meandered around the cafe with a variety of different caffeinated beverages, I couldn't help but feel finally at home and safe amongst the walls.

Letting my eyes scan over the surrounding tables, I finally landed upon Sansa, who stood sat with her eyes on her phone and a frustrated look on her face.

“Are you okay?" I asked as I approached the table, her eyes lifting to mine before she let out a frustrated groan of disapproval and placed her phone on the table.

“Yeah, I’m fine. My brothers just pissing me off this morning.'

Taking my seat across from her, I noticed she had already gotten my coffee, and as I lifted the cup to my lips, taking a deep breath in of the beautiful aroma it created, I sipped it, enjoying the flavors that bubbled over my tongue. “Oh my God, you have no idea how much I needed this coffee.“

“I bet." She laughed as she eyed me up and down. “What's with the new get-up? I don't think I've ever seen you dressed so good before."
