The day after that, thankfully, was Saturday. I woke up at around 11am, and walked downstairs. Nate, and my aunt Harriet were sitting at the kitchen table.

"Good morning." I said.

"Good morning." Aunt Harriet chirped. "Do you want to come to Starbucks with me?"

"Yes." I said immediately. "I'll go get changed."

I raced up to my room to change my clothes. Starbucks was my favourite store ever! I loved it. I quickly changed into jeans, a white tank top, and a red flannel over top. I walked back downstairs, and aunt Harriet was already standing at the door.

"Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yup." I replied.

We got into her car, and began to drive. I turned on the radio, and on came on "Kiss me" by Ed Sheeran. This was the song that Will and I had danced to. At the thought, I quickly changed the station. "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift started to play. I loved this song. I quietly sang along to the words.

"Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe. Red lips, and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again, even if it's just in your wildest dreams."

"How was the football game yesterday?" Aunt Harriet casually asked.

"Our school lost." I said. "Their best player didn't play too well."

"Whose their best player?" She asked.

"Will." I said, and suppressed a blush.

Aunt Harriet smirked at me, and I rolled my eyes humorously. We reached Starbucks a few minutes after that. We walked inside, and stood in the line, and then I froze. Standing in front of us, was a tall boy with familiar black hair. He was standing beside a woman with long black hair cascading down her back. I tugged on aunt Harriet's arm urgently.

"We have to get out of here." I hissed.

"Why?" She furrowed her brow.

"Because we--" And then I was cut off.

"Harriet!" I heard a voice exclaim, and I closed my eyes and cringed.

"Linette!" Aunt Harriet said happily.

I opened my eyes, to see Linette smiling at aunt Harriet. Beside her, was Will smirking at me. Ugh, I wanted to hit him in the face when he did that. I glared at him, and he only looked amused.

"Oh! We should have coffee together." Linette said. "Tessa and Will can just sit together while we talk."

"Alright, Tessa I'll get your drink, why don't you and Will sit down?" Aunt Harriet suggested.

I internally groaned, and went to find a table. I found one not too far from aunt Harriet, and threw myself down in a chair. A second later, Will took a seat in the other one, so he was across from me. His blue eyes were twinkling, and he looked amused. As always. We didn't say anything for a few minutes, and aunt Harriet and Linette brought us out drinks. I got a caramel macchiato.

"So," Will started. "Still hate me?"

"What do you think." I said coldly.

He chuckled, though I'm not sure at what. "You don't hate me."

"I do." I insisted.

"Nope, you don't." Will said casually.

"Yes I do!" I exclaimed very loudly.

Everyone's head turned around to look at me, and I blushed embarrassedly. Will on the other hand, was laughing. I hated to admit it, but it was music to my ears.
