I Know Places In The Dark (H.S.)

Chapter 2

Harry's P.O.V.

"Guys here she comes." Kate interrupts and points outside. I looked at the brunette walking towards her car. She turns her head and looks our way.

Well this is awkward.

She looks at us and turns her head back, walking straight to her car.

Marie's P.O.V.

After the burial was over I walk towards my car, feeling like I was being watched. I glanced to my right and see a group of college students around my age staring at me. I quickly turn my head back and go inside my car.

"That's weird.." I mutter and seatbelt myself.

After the funeral, I went by my apartment and changed into my work clothes since I was working later. I worked at a local cafe called "Nanny's Coffee Shop". I've been working there since last summer. The pay is ok, $7.89 an hour is a good pay even though I work 5-9 hours a day.

"Can I get a medium mocha latte?" A blonde haired boy with blue eyes wearing glasses asked. He was wearing a blue shirt that had the marvels logo on it.

"Yeah." I hope he didn't notice me checking him out. "That will be $2.74" He hands me his debit card.

"Matt!" A girl with beautiful caramel hair and tan skin walked over to the boy.

"Yeah?" He looks back. Are they dating?

"Let's go." She pants.

"Wait. I need my coffee first." He tells her as my co-worker hands me the hot fresh latte.

"Here's your latte sir." As I hand him his coffee, I let go too soon causing it to spill all over him. He winces in pain and I think he even squealed a bit.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I immediately get out behind the counter and grab napkins with me. I walked towards the blondie and dab the napkin on his shirt. "I'm so sorry. I can make you another one or give you a refund." I was still dabbing the coffee off his shirt as if it was taking the stain off and easing his pain.

"It's fine really. How about you just make me another one." He laughs it off.

"Are you sure you're ok??" I make sure one last time.

"Yeah." he laughs nervously.

I quickly go back behind the counter and tell my co-worker to make another latte.

"I'm really sorry." I honestly feel so bad right now and quite embarrassed. I am such a klutz.

When I was 12, my school had a field trip at a public pool place. All the boys jumped off the diving boards, some girls would too but most of them wouldn't. The boys kept being sexist about how weak and scared girls are, so I tried to prove them wrong. I went to the highest diving board the pool place had. It was 20 feet high. Once I jumped off, everyone was cheering but I didn't even notice that my bathing suit top untied itself when I hit the water. After that day I moved schools.

"It's ok. Matt has been through much more painful things than a spill of coffee on him." The girl laughs and pats Matt's chest.

"Yeah, like that one time when you almost cut my thumb off." They both laugh as I just stare at them uncomfortably.

"He's just kidding." They both look at me and continue to laugh. "What's your name?" Is she talking to me??

"Uh.. Marie... Lane." I tell the girl.

"Well, hello Marie. I'm Nathalia Russo but you can call me Nathalie. This is Matt, Matt Smith." She smiles and Matt waves.

My co-worker hands me the latte. "Here's your latte." I hand him his drink.
