Michael POV:

Ash suggested that we go out for coffee as we were free all afternoon, I wasn't a big coffee fan but there was no way I was going to pass up spending time with my best friends. Despite the fact that I see them everyday, all day.

We got mobbed on our way out, but I didn't mind. I mean, I could do with less screaming and shouting, but overall I was just glad to have fans. We took pictures but didn't get a chance to talk to any of them because there were so many people.

Once we got to the shop we could talk and just be normal. I was really tired so I kept spacing out, but I still laughed along with everyone else and had a good time. Then I saw her.

She walked in and I wouldn't have even noticed her if not for her shirt. It was an All Time Low shirt, I had the same one. She ordered her coffee and began to measure exact amounts of sugar and cream into her cup. I smirked, and pointed her out to the guys. We were all watching her measure, remeasure, and stir in a perfect system. She seemed to be satisfied, and looked up from her coffee to find us all still staring at her. Oh God.

Not only did we totally creep out this girl, she happened to be really hot. We all looked down quickly, Calum coughed a little, and Luke tried to start a conversation. I looked back up though, and noticed that she had started to walk off without her coffee. I stood up and said, "Umm... Excuse me?" She almost bumped into me and then turned to look into my eyes. She looked at me intently, almost as if she was admiring me. I began to stutter, she smelled good too. "You forgot your coffee."

She stares blankly at me, as if we weren't in a coffee shop and she hadn't just been about to drink coffee. "What?" She asks. I point to the counter where she left her coffee cup. She blushes furiously and goes to grab it, she smiles slightly as a thank you, and then as if trying to escape some horrible trap begins to search for the door.

She is almost out when Calum stops her. "Hey! You forgot your purse!" He shouts, she somehow manages to go even more red, and then goes to sit at her table with her head in her hands.

I feel a ittle bad, but she was kind of stupid and deserver to be laughed at. I almost managed to forget about her and enjoy the rest of the night, almost. I kept glancing over at her, and wondering what she was looking at through the window. She was smiling, and damn, she was beautiful.

The only downside to being "famous" was this. If I liked a girl I couln't date her because of the press. Also, some of our fans could be a little mean to any girl within a 10 foot radius of us. I looked away from the girl, and wished that I could at least know her name.

With a sigh I pushed her ou tof my mind. A little while later Luke reminded us of our early writting session tomorrow, and we decided it was time to go. We drove back to our hotel room and pushed the beds together like usual. We didn't sleep like that, it was just so that we could all hang out together. We scrolled through our twitters and instagrams and laughed at the stupid and cute edits our fans made.

I am excited to be writting again tomorrow, despite the early hours. I was also extremely nervous because next week we were supposedly meeting up with a songwritter who was going to work on our next album with us.

I walked to the window, and my eyes were drawn to something strange across the street. Some girl was dancing and spining and smiling at nothing. It was hard to see her face through the rain, but I began to laugh when I realized who it was. The girl from the coffee shop. Calum, Ashton, and Luke come to the window to see what I'm laughing at, and they soon join in with me. "Man," Calum says, "she really is something." The other boys walk away, but I keep starring at her. I watch her sit down and let herself be soaked by the rain, and I wish I was down there next to her. She seems like the kind of person who has a lot to say, but won't say it unless you ask.

If I knew her, I would ask. Maybe someday I'll get the chance.
