Starbucks Love Quest <3

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

            Its not that I’m not used to harsh treatment… I am but the fact is that no one see’s how much it hurts me to be yelled at. My grandfather would always yell at me. Saying I needed to be more mature about things because it makes my family look bad if I’m not always skipping around in circles. But he died 4 months ago. I guess I have a happy family but like I said earlier… their always gone.

            I went home and sat down at my computer. Opening up facebook when suddenly my phone buzzed. I looked down and it said “Tyler” I smiled opening it, it read…

-Hey there Naomi!!! How’s it goin?

            I blushed. People don’t generally remember my name or anything. I text’d back real fast.

-Hey, I’m ok. What about you?

            I turned to my computer and smiled when I saw a friend request. It was from Tyler. I clicked accept.

            I wonder if I will ever let him understand me. I mean, what is there to understand? I’m no one special. I am just like every other teen in America. I am just not as popular and my parents are never home. I am no longer in High School and I am almost friendless.

            Literally, I have almost no friends… I did have a friend named Hailey but she turned out to be a back stabbing liar. She decided to be the girl who went around saying I slept with Chelsea’s boyfriend and I never did. I’m not a whore and I don’t sleep around. Chelsea was the Queen Bee; never let anyone get in her way… kind of girl. 

            I looked at my phone and saw another text message. Hmm I must have been in my own little world to not hear my phone buzz… odd.

-I am good. Want to hang out?

            I sighed looking up at my facebook page wondering if there’s anything I HAVE to do. Well. I can’t get to close to him because of Barbie chick. Maybe I should stay home. Or maybe I should go and not care what Barbie says.

-uh sure… I will meet u @ Starbucks?

            I text’d back. I got up and fixed my hair. Applying some light makeup and a different shirt. The shirt had Eyes Set to Kill on it… my favorite band. My phone buzzed again, good thing I have unlimited.

-Sureeee….. See you there! Oh and in like 20 minutes?

            I jumped into my car. Yeah I know we were already there and all but who cares maybe Starbucks is our place or something. I don’t know. But maybe just maybe… There’s a chance with this dude. He’s hot… nice, funny, sarcastic, weird… perfect?

            I guess I have been driving for a while because I never noticed that I had pulled up to Starbucks and parked next to his car.

            I rolled down the window. “Hello there Naomi!” he said. I smiled. “Hey Tyler. Where or what do you want to do?” I asked. He smirked and walked around my car to the passenger’s side. “Let’s just drive…” He said. I looked at him. “To where?” “Anywhere… just don’t think about it and drive.” He said. I nodded and started just driving.

            “So… Miss Naomi, What do you like to do in your free time?” He asked. I shrugged. “I suppose I don’t normally have any free time so I don’t know.” I said simply. I never do… I’m always studying and stuff. “Really?” He asked. I nodded. “Yeah. I want to go to college. So I just work as hard as I can to make it there.” “You do realize miss Naomi; No matter how hard you work you’re always going to be working?” He asked. I looked at him then back at the road. “What do you mean?” “No matter how hard you work there’s always going to be more. Like for instance… If you work hard through middle school to get advanced placement in High School your going to work hard in High School to get good classes in Collage, after Collage your going to work hard to get a job, once you get a job your going to work hard to get a promotion and then you’ll want to be the Manager of the company THEN you’ll retire and you’ll want to work hard to stay health and last forever.” He said like there was nothing to it.

            I kept my eyes on the road processing what he had just said. “Oh.” Was my amazing reply. “Yeah. So have fun while you can. There’s plenty of time to work hard later. You’re only young once” he said smiling. “I suppose your right.” I said looked at where we arrived.

            “Why are we at Victoria’s Secret?” He asked. “I work here… well in Pink’s department.” I blushed. I guess I do work hard. I ended up at my job. He chuckled. “Wow… I never suspected THAT!” He said smirking. I looked down. “Shut up.” I mumbled.
