You walk into the coffee shop at your normal shift hour, 9 o'clock AM. You say hello to your boss and coworker, slipping through the door to the back room. You set down your purse and jacket, and tie up your apron.

"What can I get for ya?"

You take a few orders and pass out coffees to several customers.

Then the boy comes in; you think his name is Niall; you've seen him around campus. He always enters at exactly 10 o'clock, orders the same drink, and sits at the same booth.

"Morning, what can I get you?"

He scratches his blonde head, and thinks for a second before he hands you a five dollar bill. "Hot chocolate, please."

You scrunch your eyebrows. "What?"

Now he looks confused. "Hot chocolate...?"

"I'm sorry, but you always get that other- never mind, sorry."

You quickly turn your back and scramble around, making his drink. When you're finished, you hand him the steaming cup and his change.

He then walks away, towards his booth.. but then turns away and goes to the one opposite of it.

You shake your head and get back to work.

At 11 o'clock, you take a muffin and pour some hot chocolate to sit down for your 10-minute break.

You silently flip through your magazine, when you hear your name being called.

You turn around and see the blonde boy waving you over.

You stand up and briskly walk to his booth. "Hi," you say awkwardly.

"(Y/n), right?"

You point to your name tag. "Yep... Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, sit down."

You slide in across from him. "Why are you in this booth?"

He smiles. "What do you mean?"

"I mean.. You always sit in that booth," you point, "and order that cappuccino thing."

"So you've noticed?"

"Well, yeah.. You come here everyday..."

"Can I tell you something?" Niall says.

"Sure.."

"I don't come here for that drink, or to sit in the booth."

You raise your eyebrows, and he smiles shyly. "I come here for you."
