Lucas' P.O.V.
The smell of coffee and pastries was a welcome familiarity that filled my nose. I instantly knew what I wanted, but I would wait for the others to go first before I ordered. You can tell a lot about a person by the kind of coffee they drink.
Maya orders black coffee, but when she thinks that nobody is looking, she adds some sugar and creamer.
Riley gets a caramel mocha with an extra shot of caramel.
Farkle gets four shots of espresso and adds a lot of sugar.
I always get a white chocolate macchiato with a shot of espresso.
Our personalities resonate in our coffee and in a way, explain who we are. I'm interested in seeing what Alexis gets and how that explains her. We all order and wait for Alexis to order. She must not get coffee very often, because she is still studying the menu. Finally she goes to the cashier and places her order.
"I would like the Eggnog Latte special. Grande, please."
She pays and comes to stand over by us to wait for her coffee.
"So Alexis, why the Eggnog Latte?" I ask
"I like to get something new every time I go to a coffee shop." She explains
I smile at her and think to myself 'this girl is very interesting'.
After we receive our coffee, we all go sit at a table and start talking.
"So Alexis, what do you like to do for fun?" Asks Riley
"I like to read and play sports mostly."
"Really?!?" We all asked in shock
Alexis's P.O.V.
They all looked so shocked!
"Is that a bad thing?" I ask
Lucas clears his throat and says "No! It's just you don't strike us as the kind of person who likes sports."
I blush and look into my coffee not knowing what to say.
"So what sports do you like to play?" Lucas asks
"I like all sports, but my favorite is gymnastics because I've been doing it for eleven years now."
"Wow! That is a really long time." Answered Riley
"What kinds of books do you like?" Asked Farkle
"I mostly like Romance and Sci-Fi, but I like all kinds of books."
"Me too!" He exclaims
"How's your coffee Alexis?" Asked Maya
"It's good. Can I ask you guys a favor?"
"Of course!" They all answer
"Can you please just call me Lexi? Alexis is such a mouthful."
"Sure thing Lexi" Farkle said winking at me
I smile and blush at that. 'I think I could get used to this'
