Cinnamon Roll

@madison-starters​ [open] [madison grocer]

Living near your mom had perks, especially when she made you deals like, if you go to the grocery store and get the ingredients, she’ll cook you dinner. Carter smiled lovingly as he thought of the text exchange he had with his mom making that exact sort of deal. As he stood in the middle of the international items aisle, Carter’s eyebrows seemed to furrow. She asked for roasted peppers, but what kind did she want exactly? Whipping out his phone, he facetimed her right quick. As she answered his question and hung up, Carter could feel the smile on his face fading as he looked over. “Listen, you’re not gonna judge that whole exchange that you just witnessed,” a laugh escaped his throat. “Cause if you judge, you don’t get an invite, not even a thought of an invite!”

It was that time of week again. To go grocery shopping. There wasn’t any food in her pantry or fridge. The only ingredients she had was eggs, ramen, and a bunch of condiments. Those ingredients were probably make a killer ramen but she had been eating it everyday for the last three days. 

In a short distance, she spotted a man facetiming a woman. Marie could guess that was his mother. A smile danced on her lips. “No judgement here. I facetime my mother all the time! Unfortunately, I haven’t had the pleasure to do so in the middle of a store. An invite?” She pretended to zip her lips. “I absolutely won’t judge.”

Nisa didn’t live far from work, which meant she never really drove anywhere. Walking was easy and healthy, so she had no issue with it. However, it also meant seeing the most interesting things on the streets of Madison. This time? A group of teenagers wearing their clothes completely inside out, and she just.. Well she stared for a bit. After a few beats, she turned to see someone looking at the kids too. “Not something I can say I see every day.” She commented with a small laugh.

In the street, there were some random teenagers with their clothes inside out. Marie didn’t see what good that did them. Maybe it was some kind of new trend but she hadn’t heard of any kind of thing. “Is it some kind of trend?” A small laugh escaped her pink lips. “Wearing your clothes inside out is not a trend I could get into.”

Open: @madison-starters​

Ending up on the ground was not exactly the start Avery had wanted for her walk around Duck Pond. Not that she imagined that was on the list for anyone, however it wasn’t entirely her fault that someone left their bag so close to the sidewalk. She had managed to trip over it, getting lost in thought and sight over the ducks. It was embarrassing to say the least. “Goodness gracious,” she muttered, standing up and dusting herself off. “I cannot believe that just happened,” she shook her head, hoping and praying that someone had not seen her. 

The Duck Pond was a beautiful place and it was one of the best places to visit in Madison. Tossing out duck feed to the ducks, she spotted a woman trip over someone’s bag out the corner of her eye. Who leaves their bag out in the open like that? She stifled her laughter and run over to the lady. “Are you alright? Who just leaves their bag out in the open like that?”

“Alright, do you want the good news or the bad news first?” Matt poked his head out from behind the hood after fiddling with the engine of the customer’s car a moment. He didn’t wait for a response, deciding it was always better to start with bad news, then cover that up with something good. “Bad news is, your battery is shot all to hell and that things gotta be replaced today if you’re hoping to drive this thing away from here.” He patted the battery in the engine and then looked back up. “Good news is that’s a relatively cheap fix and I’ve got the one you need right inside the shop. Can have you up and running in twenty minutes.”

Sweat beads were forming on her forehead. It was so incredible hot. Her eyes glanced at the engine and things but really she had no idea what she was looking at. There was only a few things she knew how to do and that was how to check her oil and her tire pressure. She thinks she could change her tire if she needed to but she wasn’t 100% sure. 

“Really?” Her face lit up with the news that he could fix it up. “Thank you! Thank you! How much will that cost?”

B I O G R A P H Y :

Life hasn’t been that exciting for Marie. The only exciting things that ever happened to her were her three brothers. Being the youngest of the three, they were very protective of her. Back home, she was known for being the sister to the rowdy brothers and she was the calm one. It didn’t bother her any. She loved her brothers unconditionally. 

 Growing up with a bunch of brothers meant there was lots of cooking. That’s when she discovered her love for baking. Whenever someone’s birthday would roll around, Marie was ready to bake a cake. It was the thing she looked forward to doing every single year. 

Eventually, her brothers left her mother and her behind. They left and went to college. Marie was a senior in high school when they left for college. It sadden her but people noticed her more. She wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not but when she graduated, she moved to Georgia to attend the same college as one of her brothers.
