• Chapter 1 Work •

Mia's POV
*beep* *beep* *beep*

Greaaat was I was able to think. Hint on the sarcasm though. I always say or think that specific word as I get up for work. I mean I am 100% sure no ones happy to get up early on a weekday. I mean c'mon, Netflix in bed all day sounds amazing. Or at least go on a hike? I don't know something!

As I was getting up, I kept making up all these things in my head that I could do instead of going to work. Call in sick? Stay home? Buy a shit load of junk food and stay in? Nah.. I need the money.

I did my usual morning routine, brush my teeth, shower, change into my uniform. I never really cared how I looked at work though, my hairs in a ponytail, and I apply very light make-up.

I work at Starbucks and I absolutely hate it. Most would say working for Starbucks is a dream come true, but it's a living hell when the manager is a cold hearted bitch who flirts with every guy that walks into our coffee shop. Don't get me wrong, she can do whatever the hell she wants. But it's just that the moment a guy walks in she's a living hell to work next to. I can't even take the guy's damn order.

Ugh, I'm cussing too much. That's how you know I don't like working or my manager.

I'm a pretty happy person as the way I describe myself, but I'm also not so happy. I live in a wonderful apartment that I worked my butt off for. A decent car and a wonderful group of friends. I'm an only child. My mom died when I was 15, and it was probably one of the toughest things I went through, but I've been through worse. Being 18 I would have thought it would have gotten easier, but it never did. Life is full of ups and downs, but I manage to pull through somehow.

As I pull into the driveway of my wonderful job (emphasis on the sarcasm) I see my manger Lily being all flirty with a customer. It's not even noon yet and she's already being a you know what. It's quite amazing how I noticed it all the way outside. I swearing I don't get how she even got this job.

"Look who showed up, hmm I'm surprised your here considering it's a Monday and you were probably working at the corner with your slutty friends." said Lily with an attitude and a smirk on her face.

As I smiled, I gave her a little bitchy laugh "You're not worth my time and breath to even say a snotty remark back to you." I say while walking over to go clock in.

"..bitch.." she manages to say under her breath.

"Skank." I say louder and she gasp. This was going to be a long shift, but as long as I'm getting paid then I could care less.

Hours later...

"Almost, done, with, my..shift.." I say under breath just wanting to leave.

Justin's POV
"Well when am I going to see you?" I ask Selena over the phone.

"Soon I hope." She says very enthusiastically.

"Okay..well I'll call you later. Love you, bye." I say kind of upset, I couldn't really tell if she meant it or not. Yeah Selena, and I aren't at our best point in our relationship and it's really brining me down. I barely even know what to do anymore. It's so upsetting.

Mia's POV
"Welcome to Starbucks, what would you like?" I say to a dirty blonde haired boy. I barely looked up to notice because I was writing on the cup my customers order from the phone.
He looked really familiar to me though.

"Depends can you make my day any better?" He joked.

"Well I mean we are at a Starbucks, and this seems to make everyone scream with joy as they suck overpriced coffee from a green straw." I joked back with a smile.

"You're funny, but can I have Venti vanilla bean with no whip cream and caramel sauce." he says as he smiles back at me.

"Thanks, your name please?" I laughed.

"Justin, just Justin." He says weirdly.

"Well okay JUST Justin, I'll call your name when your older is ready. " I laughed at his awkwardness.

"Here you go" he says while handing me a $10 bill. "And keep the change" he says while smiling back at me.

Justin's POV
"Thanks, but you might want go through the back when you leave.." She said innocently.

"Why would I do that?" I say nervously waiting for her to just ask me for a picture, autograph, or just scream my name like there's no tomorrow revealing who I was.

"You're as bad as a liar as you are with a disguise pretty boy, I know it's you." She says with a grin that probably went all the way up to her ears. It was kinda cute though.

"Wow, um well do you want something from me? I mean I'll do anything just please, don't say my name out loud." I say looking around all the customers near me, sitting down looking at their phone or laptop.

As she hands me my frappé, she looks down and says "Don't worry, to me you're just another normal guy, your secrets safe with me. Just looking out for you, I could only imagine how you feel having girls all up on you 24/7." She replied which shocked me.

"Don't be shocked, I'm not like every single girl Justin." She smirked.

I smiled being a little cocky, but playful "Who said I don't enjoy that, BUT thank you. You seem pretty trustworthy, soo I wouldn't mind having a friend around here, would you wanna hang out some time?" I ask her kindly.

"Not sure pretty boy, I mean you may be, you know lol, but that doesn't mean I'm required to say yes because your like super famous." She says.

"Well..Mia," I say looking at her name tag, "I'll be back and maybe you'll change your mind." I replied back.

"You see I'm not like those girls" She says pointing at my manager.

"You may be Justin, but to me your just as normal as everyone else and I'm going to treat you that way so I'm gonna have to say no, sorry." She said looking at me with a sorrow look, but with a smile.

"Well I'll be back soon and maybe you'll reconsider, nice talking to you. Have a great day!" I say while walking out with a smile on my face thinking how my day got slightly better.
