chapter three.
"Things Being Seen, And Secrets Being Kept."

She sits in a small cafè at a two person table. Bookshelves filled with Shakespeare, Nicholas Sparks, Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, and many more authors surround her, coffee mugs were hung on the wall, comfortable chairs were seated in. A small cup of coffee along with a book by Allen Ginsburg that she had brought from her room sit on the table in front of her. Lilith sits alone at her table waiting for her new-ish friend, Allison, to meet up with her; this being the two girls' second time hanging out outside of school, the first time going by Lilith's house to study. Her eyes slowly scan the pages as she flips through them; stopping when a small quiet buzz comes from her phone.

Cute new girl: Hey, sorry it's taking so long, my mom wouldn't let me leave, but I've convinced her and now I'm a street or two away. Could you please order me whatever you got, and I'll pay you back?

Lilith sends Alison a small text back before ordering a second drink for Allison, along with a muffin; knowing she'll want one, but doesn't want to be rude and ask for it. As Allison had said in her text, within the next five minutes the tiny bell from the door rings and Allison walks in. She quickly spots her friend in a room full of people, and walks towards her. The pair give each other a hug as Allison profusely thanks Lilith for the drink and the pastry. She rests her bag on the back of her chair and takes a seat while Lilith sets her book to the side. As one would normally do, the two girls begin with small talk; Allison asks about what new books Lilith is reading as she can finish a book within a few hours, and Lilith asks how the school has been treating her, and if she had any new friends, that wasn't herself or her sister.

"So, you and Scott?" Lilith asks the older girl, jumping to the question she's been wanting to ask all afternoon. "What's going on between you two? I heard from a little birdie that he asked you to the party at my sisters throwing?"

A small smile spreads across Allison's face, and her cheeks glow with a light pink. She picks up her drink and slowly takes a sip trying to hide any emotions from Lilith. Her mind running to the boy they were talking about. The way his fluffy hair fell into his eyes, his puppy dog brown eyes, his smile when Lilith or Stiles would say something stupid to make him laugh. It was hard not to like him, let alone love him.

"Yes, we're going together." She says placing her mug down onto a small plate. "I think it's a date, I mean, I hope it's a date."

"Remind me again, but I thought you weren't planning on dating until college. Does he happen to be an exception?" Lilith asks. She places her chin in her hand, looking at the girl in front of her.

"In all honestly, I don't know anymore. I mean, I like him a lot, but on the other hand I did promise myself I wouldn't date, so I'm a bit conflicted."
