_Receiving Jamie's Text_
The school day dragged on, my mind wandering to Jamie's invitation. Would he actually follow through?
As I walked home, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out to find a text from Jamie:
"Hey Alex, want to grab coffee tomorrow after school?"
My heart skipped a beat.
"Sounds good," I replied, trying to sound casual.
"Awesome! Meet me at The Daily Grind at 3 pm?"
I agreed, and we exchanged enthusiastic emojis.
The rest of the evening flew by in a blur.
_Coffee Date Jitters_
Next day, I arrived at The Daily Grind early, nervously fidgeting with my hair.
What if this was a mistake?
Jamie walked in, spotting me with a bright smile.
"Hey!" he said, sitting beside me.
We ordered coffee and chatted effortlessly, discussing everything from school gossip to favorite books.
As the afternoon wore on, I found myself relaxing in Jamie's presence.
He listened attentively, asking thoughtful questions.
"Tell me more about your passion for writing," he urged.
I opened up, sharing my dreams and fears.
Jamie's genuine interest put me at ease.
"So, what's your favorite book?" I asked, turning the tables.
Jamie grinned mischievously.
"Actually, it's The Count of Monte Cristo."
I raised an eyebrow.
"Surprising choice."
Jamie chuckled.
"I like unexpected twists."
Our laughter mingled, creating a cozy atmosphere.
As the coffee shop started closing, Jamie glanced at his watch.
"Want to walk with me?" he asked.
I nodded, and we strolled through the quiet streets.
The sun dipped low, casting a warm glow.
"Thanks for today, Alex," Jamie said, his voice soft.
"No, thank you," I replied.
Jamie's gaze met mine, and for a moment, time stood still.
