"One white chocolate latte," I sighed. Despite hating this stupid coffee place, I needed to blend in. Ordering a coffee while waiting for Patrick this morning, seemed like a good way to blend in. "And add those little chocolate shaving things. They were pretty good yesterday."

"Do you want to make it a skinny, love?" The barista boy asked snidely. I could see that little smirk on his face as he discreetly picked up the fat free milk.

This place was the absolute worst.

"I'd like it as fat as possible, thank you very much."

"No shock there," he whispered.

The barista boy rolled his eyes and turned back to empty cup in front of him. Soon enough, he had concocted the perfect drink, and by perfect, I mean perfectly disgusting.

I watched, keeping a close eye on him as he placed the lid on my drink. With his attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to spit in the thing.

"There you go," he said, his face holding the most fake smile I had ever seen. I swiped the coffee away from him before tossing a five dollar bill at him. I was almost positive the drink was worth six dollars, but in all honesty, he didn't deserve it.

"Thanks," I mumbled, turning away from him and resting against the counter. I took a small sip, resisting the urge to wince at the taste. The latte was somehow worse than the one from yesterday.

Instead, I turned my focus to the large window aside from where Patrick had insisted we meet.

I was regretting this decision already.

There were people crowding every corner of the street, most likely waiting for Patrick and his mystery girl. My Twitter notifications were still blown out of proportion, and somehow, even my mother had found out about my little run in with the YouTube star himself.

Needless to say, she was proud I finally found someone.

"What's with all the people?" The barista started, resting his elbows on the counter next to me. "They're acting like Justin Bieber is here, or something."

I sighed obnoxiously, "more like Patrick Neili."

The barista's eyes widened as he glanced back up at me. "You're the girl from yesterday!" He shrieked. He jumped back, bumping into the coffee maker on the counter behind him. Coffee quickly splashed across the floor, but that didn't take the surprised look off his face for even a second.

I gave him a weak smile, waving slightly as I did. "That's me."

"Please," he smiled. "Tell me what he was like! He's a YouTube legend!"
