Shit, late for work. Shit, this was the 3rd time in two weeks. Shit, your boss was gonna cut your pay. Shit.

You went as fast as you could. Luckily you changed and grabbed your stuff in 10 minutes, but you needed coffee. You needed to get that fuel for the day. Once you got in your car, you drove to town.

You went into your usual coffee shop and the line wasn't long; only 2 people in front of you.

But you were anxious, your feet wouldn't keep still. Maybe it was the adrenaline rushing from your sudden panic attack.

Finally it was your turn to order. You stepped forward as calmly as you could and the cashier grinned at you. He looked somewhat familiar.

"Hi, how can I help you?" He asked. Have you heard that voice before? You ignored it anyways.

"Yeah, just a coffee please. Hold the creamer and just put milk." You ordered as politely as you could. The cashier nodded pressing buttons on the register.

"What's your name?" He asks taking out a sharpie and cup.

"(Y/N)." The cashier wrote your name and passed it onto the counter.

"(Y/N)?" He said more in a discovered tone. His eyebrows were furrowed. You narrowed your eyes.

"Ross?!" Realization hit you.

"No way!! It's actually you!!" Ross exclaimed with a bright smile. You giggled remembering everything you two did together back in high school.

"Oh my god, how are you?" You started a conversation.

"I'm good. What about you? You seem like you're in a hurry." Ross then mentioned. You nodded.

"Yeah I'm late for work." Your voice replied uneasily. "How much was the coffee?" Ross' eyebrows went up.

"Uhh $4.95." You quickly slipped out a 5 dollar bill, handing it to Ross. He gave you a nickel back.

In 2 minutes, the other baristas made your coffee. You saw Ross writing on the cup, but you ignored that afterwards. One called your name so you stepped up and grabbed your cup.

"Bye Ross!! It was nice seeing you again!!" You called out before leaving the shop

"Bye Ross!! It was nice seeing you again!!" You called out before leaving the shop. Ross waved goodbye with a smile you remembered.

When you left the shop, you took a sip of your coffee. Picking up the cup, you saw more writing next to your name.

'It was nice seeing you again. We should hang out like we used to. Come by tomorrow?'

You read the words over and over again with a smile slowly growing on your face.

You were going to get another cup of coffee tomorrow.
