"BREAKFAST IS READY!"shouted Sarah. She hadn't been coping that well but still manged to keep us all in line. I didn't feel like getting breakfast. I didn't feel like getting out of bed at all.

"Get out of bed you ass." said Rowena,who was already fully dressed, dragging the covers off, of me.

"No! Fuck off!" I replied, snuggling back into my mountain of covers.

"Fine your going to be late for work." said Holly. Oh God I had completely forgot. I had work today. I work every weekday from 9am-5pm at the local cafe. I rolled over to look at my clock. Shit! It was already 8:45!

I jumped out of my bed and quickly got changed into a pair of worn out shorts and a blue tank top, put on some sneakers,grabbed my bag and a slice of toast and ran out the door without even brushing my hair. "Oh well" I grumbled to myself.

It took me about 10 minutes to walk to the Cafe. It wasn't huge and flashy but it quite well known. We had the best muffins in the business. I loved the ones with the gooey chocolate inside, they were heaven.

I walked into the Cafe to be rudely welcomed by my manager. "Destiny, your late. Again!"

"I know, I'm sorry it was just that Ben was in hospital and we didn't get back to late, and I must of forgot to set my alarm for today... I..I" Images of the pool of blood flooded my head. I couldn't breathe, I was scared.

"It's ok I understand." said my manager putting his hands on my shoulders bring me back to life. "Is Ben ok. But..." I was already slipping again.

"Destiny!"

"What?"

He sighed "Just try not to be late again."

So far, today hadn't been a very busy day. I spent most of my time icing cookies with little patterns. I was very proud of one of the cookies that was decorated with orange and pink flowers,surrounded by green swirls.

The shop bell rang a new customer opened the door. I looked up to see a young man on his own. As soon as he took his seat I causally walked over to take his order.

"What would you like?" I asked him

"Emmm... Could I just have..." he looked up to meet my eyes."Do I know you?"

I was a little shocked. How could he know me I lived at Rosewood with suicidal people and I am not that normal in the head!

"No... well I don't know you." I simply replied. I didn't want to be to rude

"Wait... your the girl I spilled the drink over at the hospital. I'm so sorry."

"Ohhh. You. And it doesn't matter. What did you want to order?" I said trying to quickly change the subject.

He looked at me then back to the menu "Can I have a tea and a double chocolate cookie."

"Anything else?" I asked going back to my normal waitress orders.

"No. Thank you"

I went and got his order. He was the face that I couldn't even put a name too. I had seen him before but where? The question was on my mind again. I went back to him with his tea in one hand and the carefully wrapped cookie in the other.

"My name is Josh Hutcherson." he said as I put the drink on the table.

"Oh. emmm. My name is Destiny."

"Destiny. A very pretty name."

"Thanks." I blushed "Hutcherson. O My God! You look so different though. Much older. You played Walter in Zarthua. That is like my favourite film!"

"Shh!" he said "I don't want people to know I am here but it was nice you recognized me and didn't scream to the heavens."

I smiled. He took a piece of paper out his pocket and a pen and started writing something down on the paper. When he was done he gave it to me.

"Call me sometime." he said then took his order and left.

I had... Me... I had Josh Hutcherson's number! I have to admit he is way hotter than when he was in Zarthua.
