I walked along the sidewalk, I finished school for the day I was tired. I walked into my favourite coffee shop, the smell of fresh baked goods and coffee hit my nose I breathed it in as a small smile reached my face.

I walked up to the counter and ordered what I wanted which was my usual, a vanilla latte and a  chocolate croissant. I waited for my order to be ready and while I did I went through Instagram. No one knows it's me it's an anonymous, no pictures of me or profile picture.

"order for hyejin" the person at the counter said and i collected my food "thank you" I said "it's you! You always come here" the guy said "yeah it's my favourite coffee shop" i replied "I'm glad, eat well" he smiled and I bowed to him and left the cafe.

I walked to a park and I sat down on a bench and I ate my chocolate croissant and drank my vanilla latte, i took in my surroundings around me and I watched as children ran around the park laughing.

A put in my headphones and I put my playlist on shuffle and pulled my sketchbook out of my bag, I started to draw the surroundings around me. I would take a sip from my drink once and a while, the cold air blew through my hair, I felt at peace.

I was walking home from my after school sports club, I walked through the park and in a distance I saw hyejin. She had her headphones in, a drink and a half eaten croissant while drawing. A smile crept up on my face as I watched her draw, she looked so peaceful. The wind blew through her hair and I caught glimpses of her face, she was so beautiful.

I built up confidence to walk over to her.

"What are you drawing?" I asked as I took out one of her headphones, she looked up in shock "oh uh the park" she said and I smiled at her drawing "it's really good" I told her "thank you" she told me "can I sit?" I asked "um... if you want" she said and moved up and I sat, she went back to drawing and I watched as she let her pencil take control on the page.

I just sat there watching her draw it was mesmerising.

"can you not watch?" she said "why?" I replied "it's making me uncomfortable" she spoke and I felt a bit sad "oh... I'm sorry" I said to her "thanks" she replied and she went back to drawing and I just looked straight ahead.

She finished and put the sketch book in her bag, she packed up all her things and got ready to leave "let me walk you home" I stood up quickly "what? you didn't even know where I live" she said "so? You can show me" I said "no it's okay" she said and started to walk off and I caught up "please, it's starting to get dark" I asked "I said no, why are you even talking to me? all I ask if for you to leave me alone, so please just leave me alone" she said and just walked off again and I stood there speechless.
