Stiles' POV 

I moved my feet faster trying to reach my class on time, it was Monday and I already felt like giving up. From college to my jobs it was really hard managing everything. I should get used to my life being hard as I never had it easy, ever but now that I'm living on my own its just seems even more harder. I turned eighteen about three months ago so I was allowed to move from my orphanage and live on my own. The struggle is real. If there is one thing I learned in my eighteen years of life is that, if you don't care for yourself nobody will. And also that you have to accept reality as it comes, there's no sugar coating anything, specially for someone like me. When your parents left you on some church door step on a winters night you learn that when your own parents don't want you why would anybody else? I bumped on wall of muscle as I was about to turn right of the building that I was in front of. My papers flying away everywhere. Great! now I'm really gonna be late for my class. "I'm so sorry . I wasn't looking where I was going. I'm really sorry." I frantically said as I began to pick my papers. "Its okay. Here." The man said, I didn't even look at him afraid that he might beat me or something. I quickly grabbed my papers muttered a thank you and ran out of there. Living at an orphanage really doesn't boost up your self esteem. Not to mention the fact that I'm really scrawny that is a reason enough for other kids there to pick on me. At school I was always bullied and had only one friend Scott. He's my best friend but he's nothing like me, he athletic and has a really good body not a limp noodle like me. We used to do everything together but then he started dating Alison everything changed for both of us. He has more important things to focus on and I'm just making things hard for him. We still hang out but not like we used to do, I'm lucky that he wants to hang out with me at all. But its okay I guess, at least he cares about me and I can't push the only person that has been there for me away. You know what they say 'beggars can't be choosers'.

I made my way to my class and thankfully I was not late. I sat on one of the seat at the back of the class as the professor began his lecture on the current topic he was teaching. I turned my concentration to him, when you're studying on a scholarship you need to maintain your grades so that they won't kick you out and there's no way that I can pay for my own college. Working at a coffee shop, hot topic and a library doesn't really earn you that much amount of money, sure its enough to pay for my rent, food, clothes and other small things but its not much. I'm majoring on Environmental Science and really wanna contribute to the environment. Its really important that we help save every aspect of it. The way its being polluted we can only imagine the extent of damage that we are doing and we don't realize that its effecting us as well. After my classes ended I made my way to the small coffee shop that I worked in. It was a small place but the coffee of theirs was to die for. I just took and brought customer's orders. There were a few workers who worked along with me but we didn't really communicate. Well they didn't really communicate with me, which is totally fine I don't want to talk to those snobs anyway. I entered the place and was greeted by warm and homey smell of their exotic coffee. "Oh Stiles you're here!" Rosa the owner of the Coffee House said to me. Did I mention that this place is called Coffee House. "Yeah, just got here." I replied and smiled. Rosa is like a mother I never had. She is really nice to me. She always scolds my work mates for being late but never at me, well may be that's because I only have been late once since I worked here but still. "Well good. I wanted to talk to you." She said and suddenly my heart started beating fast and my smile faded, what if its something bad? "Relax Stiles! Its not anything bad. I just wanted to say that I fired that lazy ass Matt today and hired a new worker and I want you to show him around and teach him few stuffs." She said and I began to respire easily again. "Isaac!" She called out which I'm guessing is the new boy she hired. As in queue a tall boy came in, he had brown messy curly hair, bright vibrant blue eyes and a jaw that could slice a freaking pineapple! And he was wearing a scarf. Who wears a scarf? Its like thousand fucking degrees outside. I smiled at him like I haven't been judging him since he came in the room. "Stiles this is Isaac. He'll be working as the same shift as you and I need you to do what I told you to do. And be nice to him." She said to me and I nodded. "Okay Isaac, this is Stiles and he will teach you everything you need to know. And I'll leave you to it then." She said and left the room. "So hey. Don't worry you'll learn everything easily." I said and he smiled at me nodding. He has a cute smile. Did I also mention that I am gay? If I didn't then just putting it out there, I Stiles Stilinski am Gay.

I got to my one bedroom apartment and it was already 9. I was tired as hell but working at the Coffee House wasn't too bad today I guess. Isaac was a pretty nice dude not like those stupid workers and specially Matt. I'm glad that he got fired, he never used to do any of the work properly and would always made me do most of his work. But with Isaac its like so much fun, we talk about stuffs and he is like an adorable puppy. We're gonna be great friends, I just know it. I prepared myself some mac n cheese and sat down opened my laptop for some pointless browsing. After that nutritious meal I went to shower and got ready for bed. I laid in my bed and thought about how exhausting tomorrow is gonna be and fell asleep in my dreamless slumber. But I did dream. I dreamt about that voice which I heard this morning and I don't know why.
