Verbatim

-Nik POV-

I was kind of tired this morning but I think I'll survive today. Serving coffee is not that easy. The ingredients have to be precise. If you put a little too much then you mess up the whole thing.

I was writing down the order of the old lady in front of me. When a black haired pale girl walked in the cafe. She cached my eye until the old lady in front of me snapped her fingers in my face. "Are you not listening child?!" She said and I panicked. "Umm- yeh umm what was that?" I asked with a bit of stutter. "I said I would like some French toast too" she said looking at me straight in the eye. If looks can kill I'll be dead by now. "Yes ma'am will that be all?" I asked and she responded with a yes and I walked away putting the order on the board so the chef can make her food while I make the coffee.

I made the coffee in two minutes and took it to her while grabbing my notebook and pen from my ear approaching the girl with black hair.

"Hi, I'm Nik can I take your order?" I said. Well I always have to say that. It's mandatory. "No" she said and I was shook. "Umm- ok" I said about to walk away and she laughed. I gotta tell ya. Her laugh was adorable and she had deep dimples. "I'm kidding" she said and looked at me with her brown eyes. I nervously chucked. "I knew that" I said not knowing what to respond to that. "So what do you want?" I said getting ready to write down what she says. "I want a frappemochawithahintofcaramelandmaybesomemint.Alsosomechocolateuggbootandsomechocolatechips." She said and I stared at her confused. I did not write a single word she said and didn't understand it either. "Err...come again?" I asked and she laughed....again. "Did I sound like an annoying white girl?" She said smiling. "Kinda...umm but your white" I said trying not to be racist. "I know but I wanted to sound more girly and confuse the heck out of you" she said leaning back on the seat and smirking. "Soo. Are you not gonna order?" I asked still confused. "Hah. No I'm just using the wifi but I completely wasted your time and I feel very successful" She said sounding proud of herself. I clench my jaw. A habit I have when I'm annoyed or mad.

"Hmmm. That jawline could cut my finger" She said smirking and proceeding to doing something on her laptop. I decided to walk away before she says something else to me. I walk back to my designated area and started to read 'Looking for Alaska' I know it's kind of a girly book but it's the only book Ellis my coworker had since I told her I was bored and it was slow today.

"She dies at the end" I hear and clench my jaw again. "Oh thanks a lot I totally wanted to know she died" I said not looking at her and continue reading the book. "He didn't have a chance" she said again and this time I look up at her. She was standing over me with her arms crossed and smirking. Which I notice she does often. "I would be very appreciative if you would fuck off" I said fake smiling and putting the book down. "Aw but what would be the fun of that?" She said and began to walk away almost out the door when my twin walked in. "What th-" She said and turned back at me and then back at Nate. "Why is she staring at me like if I have a third eye?" Nate said looking at me and walking right past her towards me. "You have an identical twin!" She said. Sounding too surprised. "No" we both say at the same time and she frowned walking towards us. "Whose she??? She's kinda hot" Nate whispered to me really quick before she could approach us. "Her personality isn't" I say and she's finally standing 12 inches in front of us. "Do y'all fuck with people since y'all look the same?" She asked and we look at each other knowing we always do. "No but your fucking with my personal space so back off" Nate said and she glared at him. "You shouldn't be rude to strangers" she said and I gave her an are you serious look since she was kind of rude to me for spoiling the damn book. "Look whose talking" I said and sat back down on my seat while Nate sat on the other seat. "What's your name?" Nate said and she smiled. "Why should I tell you?" She said crossing her arms. "Because I asked nicely" He said and she walked over behind us and puts her arms across our shoulders while leaning down to our level. "Fuckboy looking guys like you should watch your backs" she said and walked away almost out the door and turned. "Lottie" she said while holding up what looked like our wallets. "How the fuck did you get that??!?" Nate said standing up with me following. "Don't mess with someone who can pickpockets" she said winking and running away with us following. We lost her in the crowd and looked at each other.

"Fuck I had like 50 dollars there!" I said grabbing my head and hitting the wall. "Well I'm broke as fuck so she won't find anything on my empty ass wallet" Nate said not giving zero fucks since he is broke and stealing his wallet didn't matter. "I have to go back to the shop. I hope jess doesn't get mad at me for leaving" I said referring to my boss.

"Well I stopped by for some free food but now I have to go find this girl since that damn wallet has my fake IDs and you know that's illegal" he said walking away. "Are you actually gonna look for her?" I asked. "Yes I have no life so might as well do something productive" He said putting his hands in his pockets and walking away. I turned and walked back to the shop. Thankfully jess didn't notice I was gone.
