Finding Beauty in a Coffee Shop

3:00 pm

School is now out and Zach hasn't tried to talk to me, thankfully. I was currently wheeling myself around the football field because behind the field is a short cut to my favorite coffee shop I go to almost everyday. The team is currently having practice, so I'm trying to go fast so Zach doesn't see me.

"MCMARTHY!" I hear him shout.

Busted.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" He continued to shout.

"NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS O'BRIEN!" I shouted back.

There was a chorus of "oohs". Normally I wouldn't be like this but something is fishy about him suddenly taking a notice in me. I continue my way to the coffee shop, and once I get there I order a caramel mocha and I wheel myself to a table and do my homework.

Once I got home it was around 6:00 pm and I was more than tired. So I had my mom put me in bed and I got on my laptop. I logged into my Facebook and saw I had a friend request. I quickly clicked on it to see a name I didn't want to see.

Zach freaking O'Brien.

I accepted it and sent him a message.

"What's up with your sudden interest in me?"

Within a minute he replied.

"I'll admit, I never tried to be your friend before, but I knew your name. I don't know though Violet, I saw you at church and you just caught my eye, you are absolutely gorgeous, and I just knew I wanted you in my life. People change and I certainly want to change for you."

"I'll admit something too, you just melted my heart."

"Good :)"

"Listen, I'm so tired so I'm going to head to bed. Try sitting with me tomorrow, you have a chance of me not getting annoyed."

"Haha okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

I shut my laptop lid with a smile on my face. I curled up in my bed with a slight smile on my face.

Maybe a guy will want to be with me...
