"My mistake was thinking wattpad fan fiction is art."

Hi, my name is Michael Kuckinski, and I'm 19 years old! I'm a university student, budding into a world of my own! I sat up out of bed and stretched my long arms- I had always been exceptionally lanky, and I put my chestnut colored hair into a messy bun before getting dressed. I combed my chestnut colored hair back and put on an undershirt, before pulling my iconic long sleeve t-shirt with red and blue stripes over my head. I then put on my skinny jeans on and walked to the kitchen to make some yummy breakfast. I would have been too late to have breakfast, but I don't really do anything with my life, so no one is counting on me to be anywhere, so I have plenty of time! I open a plastic box of delicious blueberry muffins, which had long gone stale, but I didn't mind. Muffins go hand in hand with coffee, so I couldn't have them without each other! This was conivenient because today is my first day at my new job at the Golden Alpace cafê! I put my muffin in a plastic bag and put it into my backpack, ready to start a new day! My bag was a slate gray backpack with a rainbow pride pin that said #proud2bout, and a pin with the bisexual flag. (I'm not gay or bi or anything I just really really want to show my support as a ally) I also have have my favorite doctor who and legend of Zelda pins on my bag, and a pin that says "BAZINGA!", because I really relate to Sheldon from the Big Bang theory even though I am not autistic. I grab my bag up and head out the door into a new world of wonder! I lock my door behind me and put in my AirPods to litsen to the new lemon demon album. I walk down the street with a pep in my step and a rock in my shoe. A rock in my shoe?? I stoped and bent over to removed my shoe to get the rock out of my shoe, when suddenly-

"Ow! Hey, watch it-" I looked up and pulled out my earbud, when I saw the person who ran into me!

He was so tall that his gorgeous wheatfield golden locks where like rays of his sun, but his demeanor was dark and cold. His head was high in the clouds, but his heart was frozen over. His dreamy sapphire orbs looked lost in another thought. He wore baggy mustard coloured cargo pants- much too oversized for his slim figure. He wore an oversized hoodie with blood red and bordeaux (that's french for "maroon" >_<) stripes. "Ah, my bad, I got so distracted listening to the be more chill soundtrack that I totally missed you there."

I would be mad at him, but I was too busy being lost in his deep coffee coloired eyes. He waved his hands in front of my eyes, "uh, hello?" I jumped up, "ah, so sorry! I was busy tying my shoe, sorry for being in the way! (> ε <;)" Hestarted brushing off my shoulders with his big, strong hands, and I could help but turn bright red! "Oh, sorry, but I really really gotta go! ε=ε=┌( >_<)┘" I immediately sprang off in the direction of the cafe, I was going to be late if I kept at this pace!

~10 minutes later~~~

After ten minutes of non stop running, I finally made it to work! After running for so long, to say my lungs felt heavy would be an understatement. My lungs felt like sold bricks of lead, so heavy they were pulling me down, so heavy that staying upright was a fight in of itself. The pressure in my lungs was so tight i could barely force air into my chest.

The door chimed as it opened and my beloved friend alex appeared! "Michael!" he yelled to me and i bounced up with glee! "Alex! You grew a beard! And you got fat!" he blushed and put a hand on his belly "yeas." Alesx was an average-medium tall small man, with hair that was red auburn. He had his red hair combed over and it was flat on the side and he had glasses on his face that were black as night. He had a bit of a stuby noes and his eyes were dark brown. His lips were supple and kissable, but his beard was crisp with its own little hidden bits of goodness. He wore a blue shirt with some kind of video game reference, but i had no idea what the game was. Probably something cool. He had a red, brown, and ochre flannel, and over it, an apron. On closer inspection, his apron looked stainless, almost dusty, like itd never been used. He had beige pants that were plaine, and silly red shoes. I had known alex for many years, but when i was twelve, i moved away from our neighboorhood. However, earlier this year on my twentieth birthday, he reached out to offer me a job at his cafe! The timing was perfect, as i had just started my job hunt. Now just a few months later, here we wre! alex is such an extraordinary man, who has taught me so much. Like that a man can have dry chin scalp. He had changed so much since we last spoke, it was staringe to think about how that teenager i once knew is now this grown man ahead of me. (I would call him accomplished,cbut between you and me, the cafe was kinda struggling, but well get into that later). Alex owned a business, he was buying a house, and if the rumors were true, he had recently gotten married! "So, should we make out way inside?" i nodded, "lead the way alex!"
