"Yo harps?" Ivy calls standing over my half-asleep body.

"What?"

"Didn't your lecture start like 3 minutes?" Ivy glances down at her apple watch.

I slowly turn over to my alarm.

8:03

"FUCK. I can't be late to another lecture. Professor Brown is going to drop me fuck, fuck, fuck." I rush out of my bed, dragging my satin white comforter onto the floor.  Rushing to my dressers, I start pulling out the first things that match.

Clipping my hair up, I rush to the front door, struggling to put on my other Air Force. Hobbling on one foot, grabbing my keys from the table I get one sentence out to Ivy, "Don't do any stupid shit, like lit the apartment on fire, while I'm gone asshole."

I'm often late, either from staying up late from writing or late shifts. In an almost jog, I speed down the stairwell from our apartment hallway.

"Fuck me man." I groan to myself exiting the stairwell.

"Goodmorning Autumn!" Everyday Sam the Elevator lady calls out to me, who's usually running late. My neck snaps back waving to Sam.

"Goodmorning S-" Before finishing my sentence, I was covered in semi-piping hot coffee.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" The Brunnett calls from Infront of me. I'm stood in the middle of my apartment lobby, soaked and speechless.

"No, it's fine. I should've been paying attention. " Half embarrassed, I pick up the coffee cups and hands them back to the tall brunette.

"Thanks" He lets out a semi-awkward laugh as he walks with me to the elevator. I try my best to see what this random guy looks like without seeming like a creep.

"I've never really seen you around here before, Are you new?" I try to strike up small talk, so the elevator ride isn't awkward. The elevator was extremely old and slow. It took at least 3 minutes to go up to level 9.

 "Oh yeah sorry."  He nervously scratches the back of his head while holding out his hand," I'm Karl, Karl Jacobs!" I shake him hand and give him a little smile. 

"Autumn, Autumn Harper. Nice to meet you, Karl." I look the tall Brunnett up and down. He was quite attractive. He had semi-nice style with big brown hair and ocean blue eyes. I couldn't help but think he was a little cute

"I really am sorry about the coffee though." Karl let out his nervous giggle again.  I watch as he played with the sleeve of his navy-blue hoodie. 

"No Karl, really its fine! At least I don't have to go to my lecture.  So actually, thank you!" I try and let out a little laugh to make him feel a little better. Really, I didn't mind him spilling coffee on me, I thought more of it as a blessing then a Burdon.

"Oh, are we both going to the 9th floor?" I nod as the elevator doors open.  Karl askes more basic questions as we walk around to our apartments, my age, hobbies, job and other whatnot.  I laugh about something he said when I finally makes it back to my apartment.

"Well, it was lovely meeting you." I waved bye to Karl.

"Oh my gosh." He lets out a little laugh as he unlocks the apartment door parallel to mine. I let out a chuckle as well.

"Wait Karl, could I actually get your number? Not to be weird, just in case, you know? Or if you ever want to make me repay for your coffee" I smile, hiding the fact that I just got a hot guy's number. He smiles as he puts h i s contact into my phone.

 Karl- the weird guy next door :)

I pull up more at the window and pay for his drinks. I feel bad about spilling them. 

"Hi, 2 pumpkin spice lattes with two shots of vanilla, 2 cookies n creme cake pops and a pup cup? Alrighty your totally will be 17.63." I pay and leave, Im really hoping this doesn't taste like shit.

Walking back towards him apartment, you set his coffee, cake pops and pup cup down by his door. I stick the sticky note onto his bag.

"I'm literally like so nice!' I snap a photo before ding dong ditching his apartment before running into my own.

-KARLS POV-

I get up to grab the door, probably some plumber or kid selling shit. I look through the peephole and to my Suprise no one's there. I sigh and open the door to look around. Infront of me is a bunch of Starbucks and a sticky note.

"Hoping this repays for our accident:)"

I let out a little chuckle picking up the snacks and bringing them inside. I give grey the pupcup and open my phone.

Autumn my cool neighbor:)

Awe thank you buddy!
