Security's Sister

A New Friend

Laura's POV:

I started to write on a napkin, at the stupid waffle place, about how annoyed I was. I really just wanted to go sleep. But instead of complaining I wrote 'how long was I in the hospital?' And quickly passed it to her knowing she would kill me if I complained.

"Hey Laura, um, are you calm?" She asked as I slightly raised my eyebrow at her in confusion.

"Just answer." she said slightly annoyed. I nodded as she continued "Well you went into the hospital on a Wednesday, right?" I nodded quickly this time wanting to know the answer. "Well, um today is kinda, um, Tuesday." she paused for a second before continuing again, "Laura just stay calm you don't need more weight on your shoulders.

I nodded again before taking it in. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 6 DAYS! I started to panic, 'how much homework will I have' 'what did I miss in art' I guess I was showing my panic because Liza asked "Do you want to go home?" I shook my head, we always come here on Tuesdays.

The guy behind Liza quickly caught my attention. He had light blonde hair and it definitely brought out his eyes, don't ask how I don't know and he had a slight build. He looked up at the same time as me and I blushed. I fricken blushed. How more embarrassing could this get? He made it less awkward by making a funny face. I slightly giggled twirling my hair and making a face back. We continued flirting, by smiling and making funny faces "Are you seriously flirting without flirting, Laura?" I nodded while smiling. She quickly stood up "I am going to get you his number." I quickly shook me head 'no' but she got up anyways.

I saw her start to talk to the guy from the other table and he looked surprised for a second and then calm.

VVV VVV my phone buzzed.

Unknown: hey itz the hottie at the table across from u.

I read it and smiled at his humour and replied.

"Where did my friend go?"

Unknown: she left wanting us to get to know each other. y don't u come over here and I will pay for ur breakfast.

I quickly got up not wanting to spoil this beautiful slim chance.

"I am Keaton, Laura" he said introducing himself. "Don't worry I'm not a stalker, your friend told me your situation with your voice but nothing else."

A kind waitress interrupted our conversation to take our order "What would this lovely couple like to order?"

"Oh we aren't dating" Keaton replied smoothly with his deep voice. I grinned 'Did we really look like a couple?'

"I will have pancakes and bacon" he replied "and she will have-" I pointed towards the French toast with berries "she will have the French toast with berries, thank you."

I guess I was staring at him for a while because he started to blush, "How old are you?" I wrote down 17 on a paper. "I'm actually 18" he replied as I sighed in relief, I don't wanna flirt with someone way older than me. He took a guess "So that makes you a junior in high school." I shook my head, "Um are you a sophomore?" I shook my head once more in his confusion "please don't tell me your a freshman." he sounded irritated I shook my head again as a sigh of relief came out of his beautiful lips but confusion followed. "Are you a senior?" I nodded slightly afraid of what would come next. "Did you skip a grade?" I nodded once more, "You'll be with me this year then!" He shouted with excitement as I jumped a little. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you it's just I'm new here and I count you as a friend right now. Wait we are friends right?" I nodded and giggled at the same time as he continued again "and you go to Albus Rich East High School?" I nodded showing him my school ID from last year. "Good I will have a friend in the same grade" we both sighed in relief making us laugh until the waitress came back. I may have screamed and fell out of my chair. I WILL HAVE A FRIEND IN MY GRADE! Liza doesn't count because she is a grade lower than me, let's just say I'm smart.
