Transparent

Chapter 10

A few weeks later, Jason brought me to a coffee shop. By brought I mean drag. This all started because in the somehow we end up talking about coffee. Turn out, Jason loves coffee. And when I told him I never had coffee, Jason said I just have to try some. I said no I didn't have to try anything. Just like that, I end up being drag to a coffee shop.

"Two mocha latte please,"The woman turn, preparing our latte. If I could I would run now. If I could. Jason watch me like a hawk. He was starting to know me too well.

A minutes pass before our drink are ready I walk to a table close to the back, he follow. Taking our seats, Jason and I begin talking. I didn't feel like talking. I was still angry and tired from getting force to get up.

My emotion must have shown on my face because he said. "Are you still mad at me?"

"No, I have a scowl on my face, because I'm happy now"

 

"Well it's not my fault you sleep for some long"

"It the fucking summer!!!" I could feel people stare at me. I turn and glare right back. People quickly look away. Ha, I thought so. "I can sleep as long as I want"

Jason hold his hand up in defeat. "Fine, I'm sorry"

"You're forgiven. For now"

"Now will you try the coffee, Anera"

I look down at the brown substance I was holding. Gulp. Look back at Jason shooting him my best "Do-I -have-to?" look. He nodded. It was worth a try. With a sigh, I gulp down the coffee.

...It taste amazingly to my absolutely shock. Jason saw the look on my face, smiling smugly.

"It taste good doesn't it?"

"If I say yes, will you get that smug look out your face"

"No"

"Then I will not admit to anything"

"Stubborn," he said. "Of course you would like coffee. It bitter and sweet, just like you"

"So the reason you my friend because I'm bitter and sweet"

"Both,"Jason answered nervously. He was afraid to see me mad. He was a very smart boy.

"You are so weird,"I said with a shake of my head. I hide my smile with the back of my smile.

"And you're aren't weird?" Jason asked with his eyebrow raise sky-high. After about two weeks, our banter surprisingly turn playful. It was a strikingly different on how we use to act and was taking some time to get use too.

My mouth open ready to say a snarky comment, but I stop myself. Someone flash in the corner of my eyes. Someone think I know.
