My Starbucks Boy

4¤ Mocha Cookie Crumble..Why Is Rain Wet?

Dedicated to TheGirlInTheMask181 because we were sisters in the past lifetime.

And to imaginehey because she's awesome af.

"Cause I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Cause I'm happy-"

I hummed repeatedly under my breath as I unlocked the house door.

"Hey Godmother, I got ice cream and-"

I looked up to find my roommate sitting on the couch with her outstretched arms and a big smile.

"Wait-" she started again, her hands slowly coming down, and her smile diminishing.

"-Why aren't you cursing and crying about how the world is cruel and chemistry should he banned?"

I shrugged and put my book bag down, happy to be relieved of the weight.

She wasn't exaggerating though.

I was never a good student. And I hate my course.

So my life consisted of failing tests and exams, and then crying about it to her.

She, as the best friend, could only offer me solace in what I loved the most. Food and movies.

"Today was different" was all I let out.

"Why, you passed the test?"

"I won't say passed. But I definitely did better than nothing"

Both our eyes drifted down to my wrist.

"Where'd that come from?"

I smiled and traced the beads. My good luck charm.

(SPONGEBOB NARRATOR VOICE) 15 MINUTES LATER

"Not that I didn't hear everything you said, but THE NEW STARBUCKS IS HERE AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!"

I smiled sheepishly and opened my arms for a hug.

"Seriously Godmother, how could you do this to me? And now you've met a boy who gave you a good luck charm? What even is this life?"

I giggled and pat her back.
"He's not just any boy. He's the boy that works at Starbucks. And he's like, super cute. And his accent is so, panty dropping!"

The face Jasmine was giving me, showed that she found this strange. "First of all, we're in London, we hear British accents all the time. What's so special about his?"

"I know Jas, but it sounded so heavenly coming from his mouth" Complete with a dreamy sigh and clouded eyes, Jasmine could tell I was already smitten with this boy. And I hadn't even know him for that long!

"Okay enough about me, tell me about your day, did you meet any hot boys?"

The tint on her cheeks was enough answer for me.

"Oh my God you did? Spill everything now!"

"He wasn't all that-" She started, putting a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

"-I mean, I thought of him as super hot, or as you said, panty dropping" 

She made little air quotes at panty dropping, making me giggle.

"But then he had to open his mouth. To say I was shocked is an understatement.

He said things that scared me, and made me want to just walk away.
