I stand up from my bed and look at my dirty Pajamas in the cracked mirror. It broke a couple weeks ago when Martha threw a plant pot at it. I look at my desk and see the time
8:30
Shit I'm late for class. I walk over to my messy cupboard and put on my black dungarees and my red flannel. I shove on some plain socks and my old doc martens, then run into the kitchen.
"Martha!" I yell as I charge into the kitchen
"Yeah?" She turns away from watering her many plants "Why didn't you wake me up? I'm late for my class!"
"Sorry, the plants take priority so I forgot."
I open the cupboard and pull out a cereal bar then grab my satchel
"I'm leaving!" I say as I run out the door and towards the nearest building.
I walk into class and I almost get hit in the head with a paper aeroplane flying in my direction. The guy who threw it is Callum. A generally annoying and weird person.
"Sorry!" He yells as I walk to my seat.
The lecture continues and it's pretty boring as we're just revising the properties of plastic.
During the lecture I keep thinking back to our "date" that we have later. Oh how I want to ask that girl out. But she's straight. Or so I think. We haven't talked about that. But even if she was into girls, why would she want to go out with me. I'm just a nobody who just got lucky. But then again, she did agree to go with me to a gay cafe. oh well. No point thinking about that. I'll ask her later.
Before I know it, class is over. I walk out of the classroom and look at my phone. 12:30. Half an hour till our "date". Megan is in her lecture right now so it would be rather selfish to text her as I'm sure she is actually paying attention to her lecture. In the end, I decide to go to the botanical park near the school.
I have been here so many times I wouldn't be surprised if I knew the park of by heart. I walk around until I come across a tree that I am fairly certain that I have not drawn yet. I sit down on the ground opposite the tree and take out my sketchbook, resting it on my knee. I take out my pencil and start sketching it. Soon enough my alarm rings for 12:55. I packed up my things, remembering exactly where in the park this tree is as I knew I would have to return to finish it off some time, and started making my way over to the cafe.
We agreed to meet there at 10 past giving Megan enough time to make her way over there but I always like to be early. On my way there, I think back to when I was younger; Magda (my sister) was terrible with time and always made us late and our mum would always tell her off each time. I haven't thought about them in ages. I haven't thought about mum and dad for some time and I haven't heard from Magda ever since Christmas 3 years ago. The closer I get to the cafe, the more excited I get. Soon i arrive at the cafe, 5 minutes early, and decide to grab a seat in a booth near a window somewhere in the middle of the cafe.
As soon as I am settled, I look around. Everywhere I look there is every single flag that is associated with the lgbt community. On the walls, on the ceiling, even the seats and benches and tables are pride flags. I see what I think might be a polyamorous relationship between 3 people over in the far side of the cafe. I see someone who I recognize from around the school campus looking as if though they are doing their school work and I notice them wearing an asexual pin badge. For a lunch period, this cafe is not busy though it might get busier later tonight.
A barista walks up to me and asks if I want anything. 'No. I'm waiting for someone' I respond. 'A date?' she asked. 'No. A study session', I say slightly disappointed because I would love this to be a date. 'Okay', she says walking away. I look at my phone. 13:12. She's late.

Meanwhile
I make my way over to my lecture. I'm a bit early but I usually have a habit of being late so this is a nice change. I'm wearing my tennis shoes, blue bell bottom jeans, a plain gray shirt and a black zip up hoodie. As I think about what we could possibly be learning today, as our teacher did not mention last time what we would be covering, I walk into someone 'sorry' said, noticing that I somehow managed to make them fall over. I reached out my hand to help them up when I noticed that she shared some similar features to Y/N. I brushed it off and continued on my way to the lecture hall.
I arrived at the lecture hall a few minutes early. I'm not a big fan of sitting right at the front so I chose a seat slightly further back and sat down. I zoned out and started thinking about Y/N and our "date" that we have later. Oh how I want to ask that girl out. But she's straight. Or so I think. We haven't talked about that. But even if she was into girls, why would she want to go out with me. I'm just a nobody who just got lucky. But then again, she did ask to go with her to a gay cafe. oh well. No point thinking about that. I'll ask her later.
Soon enough, people started filing in and taking a seat. Our professor arrived just on time and started setting up. A few minutes later, the professor started the lecture about the relationship between quasars and black holes. I was so engrossed with what the professor was saying that I totally forgot to take notes. Too soon, the lecture ended and i felt quite disappointed until I remembered that I had to go meet Y/N soon. I went to ask the professor a quick question about what we will be covering next time but unfortunately he wouldn't tell me. As I was leaving, I looked at my phone and noticed that it is 13:07. Oh crap, I'm going to be late. I quickly hurried towards the cafe.
