Optical [h.s fanfiction]

Chapter 3: Iced or Hot?

Saturday mornings were always my favorite. Normally people would sleep in and enjoy the extra hours, but I could never pass up the sunrise. Maybe it's because I'm an aspiring photographer or just that I just enjoy beautiful things. The sunrise reminds me of being a kid too. I would wake up at dawn to watch the sunrise with my dad then he would leave to go to work. It was a short time, but it made me appreciate the beauty. Those memories are the ones I choose to relive and the others, I store away.

I was once again walking on the school grounds just outside my dormitory building. My camera captured each cycle of the sun rising and I had the opportunity to enjoy it. I slowly closed my eyes taking in this moment. Even though I would much rather watch the sun complete its process, I had to get ready for the day. My sweatpants and oversized sweatshirt just wouldn't do.

Getting back to my dorm seemed a little shorter due to my slight jog. I stopped my fast pace and walked inside the building hallway to find the door to 'the hole'. Jordan was still in her deep sleep with her arm draped over the side of the bed.

My phone began to buzz on my nightstand. I quickly ran to it trying not to wake up Jordan.

Meet me at the Seattle Coffee Shop... un-named hottie xx

How did he get my number? I frantically thought in my head as I assumed it was the beautiful creature I took a picture of.

"What the hell?" I whispered. I decided to leave that question for him when I would arrive at the coffee shop.

I began to strip from my lazy clothes, "Woah woah woah. Am I paying you?" a groggy voice question.

"Well I better hope so" I stood there with my hands on my hips while replying to Jordan.

She busted out into laughter and I did the same.

"You usually don't get ready this early. You got plans today?" Jordan questioned once again as she got comfortable in her twin bed.

"Actually yes. I am meeting blonde boy at the Coffee shop today as well as someone else" I replied.

"Someone else?" Jordan pushed for information.

"Yup" I said popping the 'p'.

"Who is it?" She asked excitedly.

"Well" I paused, "I don't really know his name"

Jordan's facial expression dramatically change from a happy twelve year old to a confused three year old.

"Oh, and you think it's a good idea to meet this nameless stranger?" She laughed briefly.

"What can I say, I'm intrigued" I said while slipping on a pair of ripped black skinny jeans.

"Bea" She exhaled, "you always do this"

"Do what?" I asked innocently as I made my way over to my miniature closet.

"This! Just going on a limb. Stuff like this can get you in trouble"

"Holy shít J, chill out" I turned my head to face her and then continued to look for a proper top.

"I'm just looking out for you Bea" She stated annoyingly.

I slipped a loose dark green v-neck t-shirt over my head and walked over to my dresser to find my simple silver necklace.

"I'll be fine J. It's not a big deal" I smiled at her to ease the tension. I walked over to the coat hangers on the back of the door to grab my bad. The strap of the satchel was placed across my body.

I looked over at Jordan who still had a stubborn look on her face.

"Oh come one don't be pissed at me" I said ending it with sticking out my tongue.
