It was a Monday morning, Ally was exhausted as always. She definitely wasn't a morning person. She made her way into her usual Starbucks that she went to every morning. Coffee has always helped people in the morning and Ally was no exception.

Ally loved the specific one she went to, the people were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. She went there as often as she could and it wasn't like she had other things to do. Plus it was better than listening to her roommate have fun with her boyfriend.

On that morning, the familiar coffee shop wasn't busy and seemed peaceful for once. It happened to surprise Ally, as she was used to seeing the place buzz with gossip, young adults, and an energetic environment. There were only a couple people on front of her in the line so the wait wasn't long.

When Ally got to the counter, she quickly mumbled her order which was her usual Mocha Frappuccino. The cashier told her the price but the voice immediately struck as foreign to Ally. It was strange considering that she's been coming here almost daily for over a year. Ally looked up from the counter and stumbled back a little bit when she saw a gorgeous girl behind the counter. In front of her was a gorgeous brunette with some blonde on her. She had deep dark brown eyes, light brown tanned skin, and a charming smile. The gal wore an 'Aloha' jersey and had her apron tied around her waist. Ally noticed she was tall as well.

Ally was slightly jealous of the girl at first, wondering who she was and if she went to the same school as her but she was also attracted to the girl. Ally sighed quietly to herself, knowing it's too early for this.

"That'll be $3.55! Oh and I just wanted to say I effin' love your shirt girl! I love Mariah too." The young cashier said with a bright smile on her face.

Ally couldn't help but laugh at the girl's spirit and handed her the change.

Ally then moved to the counter on the side, and pulled out her phone to check what's going on in social media. She was humming a tune of Mariah Carey and waited a few minutes to get her coffee which didn't take long. But it was strange, the action that took the cashier girl the longest was to mark down the side of the cup.

When Ally got her coffee, she politely thanked the brown eyed gal before walking out. It was then that she noticed a big smudge on the side of the cup in black marker. She rolled her eyes, thinking how hard it could be to mark down what kind drink her coffee is. Although she didn't think much of it since the girl back at Starbucks was cute, really cute.

The next day, Ally went back for her morning frap. She didn't go twice yesterday because she had to help her friend Normani find the "perfect" outfit for her first date. It took her over 5 hours which isn't entirely surprising since Normani is quite the shopper. The thing was, it never took them THAT long just to find one outfit but Ally was more than happy to help her best friend show up on a date feeling her best.

This morning, the little venue was fairly busy just like it always should be. Once again, Ally didn't mind. She still had plenty of time to get to class and has never been late. The wait wasn't too long and Ally finally made it to the front of the line and she noticed the same girl she saw yesterday was there. Today, she was wearing a name tag which read "Dinah". Ally glanced up at the girl and made a note that the name really suited her.

"Welcome to Starbucks!  Would you like to- oh wait it's you again!" Dinah said with a grin when she noticed Ally step towards the counter.
