* Alarm goes off - reading 6:30am *

Yn rolls over and hits the snooze button

* 5 minutes later, the alarm goes off again *

Yn gets up in frustration
Yn: "Fiinnee! I'm up!"

Yn POV

If it's one thing I hate, it's early mornings. You would think I would be use to it by now, right? Wrong!

I sluggishly walked into the bathroom and got myself ready for the day. Once I was done, I sighed and stared at myself in the mirror.

Yn: "Remember why you do this", I said to myself. I constantly have to remind myself that if I wanted to stay active, I had to workout. With my schedule, it was early or not at all.

Walking back into my room, I pulled off my oversized tee and opened my closet door. Grabbing my black leggings, a sports bra, a zip-up hoodie, and socks, I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs.

As I was heading into the kitchen, my phone rung. I looked down to only see my best friend calling

Yn: "Hello?"

Peyton: "I knew you would be up super early."

Yn: "Duh, Pey. I'm always up this early", I said and rolled my eyes.

Peyton: "Well, smart ass, when you're done with your workout, meet me at the Neighborhood Café."

Yn: "Fine. I'll call you when I get close."

Peyton: "Okay. Love ya'."

Yn: "Love ya' too."

I threw on my Nike running shoes, grabbed my water, and headed out the door. I ran a mile to my favorite park and began to stretch. After I felt I'd stretched enough, I continued my run. Two miles in, I was rounding my last curve when someone bumped into me, knocking me off balance. Before I could fall, I felt someone grab me.

I looked up to see who this inconsiderate being was only to be greeted with a mystery guy in a hoodie and dark shades.

He stared at me it seemed as though forever.

Yn: "You can let me go now."

?: "Oh sorry, Miss. My apologies for colliding with you."

Yn: "No problem. For the future though, you might want to watch where you're going."

?: "I'll take that into consideration, uh..."

Yn: "Yn", I said as I extended a hand.

He took my hand in his and it was gentle yet firm.

?: "Nice meeting you, or rather bump into you Yn", he said smiling.

Yn: " Haha, yeah same here,..."

?: "Daniel. I have to get going though. Are you okay?"

Yn: "Yes, I believe so. Have a good day, Daniel ."

Daniel: "Same to you Yn."

Yn POV

  As I returned to my run, I couldn't help but think about this mystery man but I shook it off knowing I would never run into him again. So I thought...

Daniel POV

  I know it wasn't really anything, but as I continued my jog, I could get Yn out of my head. It was just something about her that stood out to me. I especially couldn't get those brown eyes, that glistened in the sunlight, out of my head no matter how hard I tried. She was a little on the short side, standing around 5'3 or 5'4, dark complexion that reminded me of my favorite candy bar, chocolate and smooth. She also had these dimples and freckles to die for. Okay, okay Daniel, snap out of it. You'll probably never see this girl again. I continued my jog all the way back home.

Yn POV

  Once I reached my house, I hopped in my black BMW M6 convertible and headed to the café.

*10 minutes later*

Peyton: "Yn, over here!"

I walked over to the table already occupied by my bestie.

Peyton: "Finally! Geesh I almost left!"

Yn: "Yeah right," I said laughing.

Peyton: "Don't temp me, Yn", she said getting up.

Yn: "Okay, okay what's up", I asked pulling her back down.

Peyton flipped her strawberry blonde hair revealing a tattoo behind her ear.

Yn: "Omg! Peyton! When did you get it?"

Peyton: " I know right?! I got it last night with Tylor."

Yn: "I want a closer look!"

Peyton turns her head for a better view. It was a tattoo of a heart with an arrow through it and her boyfriends' initials.

Peyton: "He has a matching one with my initials."

Yn: "You guys are just adorable."

Peyton: "Speaking of boyfriends, any potential suitors?"

Yn: "No, I told you I'm way to busy right now to be in a relationship."

Peyton: "I'm just saying, you haven't had one since Michael..."

Yn: "Yeah, I know Pey."

Michael was my boyfriend from 9th grade until my sophmore yeah of college. Going to seperate schools was difficult for our relationship and we decided to just be friends. I sighed.

Peyton: "Time's a ticking and baby you need some in your life", she said smirking.

Yn: "Gross Peyton. Just because you and Tye can't keep it in your pants, doesn't mean the rest of us have to fall in line."

Peyton: "Omg Yn. We can, we just choose not to", she said laughing.

Yn: "Whatever. You two are just freaked out", I said laughing.

Peyton: "So when do you go back to work?"

Yn: "Tonight. Flying to India."

Peyton pouted.

Peyton: "I hate this job. I never see you anymore."

Yn: "I know but it pays well, has it's benefits, and I don't have to go to my Dad for everything."

Peyton: "Why not? He's loaded!"

I looked at her like she was insane. I do not want to be a moocher my whole life.

Yn: "I want to be independent, with that means working."

Peyton: "Well Daddy just paid my rent for two months and I got extra money to spend!"

I laughed at how ridiculous she sounded. I swear if Peyton wasn't my best friend since Pre-K, I would have thought she was nothing but a spoil, rich, brat.

Yn: "Pey, you definitely are what they're talking about when they say spoiled, rich, white girl."

Peyton: "Well guess what. I could give a shit about what they say. By the way, I have an internship at that fashion line I was telling you about!"

Yn: "No way?! Congrats girly!" New York City, watch out  now! Future designer coming through."

We both laughed. I swear I love this girl.
