A/N Elizabeth Shoeburt's character is DanieleWeirdo's OC! Sorry it took so long to include her XO 😘
Annabeth's POV
"Come on Elizabeth, just admit the movie was terrible!"
Elizabeth Shoeburt, my best friend since freshman year, a sweet considerate girl but yet very stubborn. We had just finished watching the new teen romance movie. I think it's called Horse Prince or something.
"I quite enjoyed it!" Said Liz refusing to admit the truth about the film.
I rolled my eyes. "How about I buy us some coffee and we call it even"
Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "That's all I was ever hoping for"
I gave her a look.
"I'm sorry, I'm broke" she admitted, showing me her empty wallet.
"Don't worry about it"
Liz and I pushed open the heavy door of our favorite coffee shop. The smell never changed, found coffee beans and blueberry muffins.
I glanced over at the counter. One of the baristas was leaning against the counter bored as a red head flirted and chatted his ear off.
I laughed slightly. Elizabeth looked at me questionably, but shrugged and slipped into one of the booths.
She waved her hand. "You know what I want"
I smiled and nodded. I tapped the red heads shoulder. She gave me a nasty look as she turned to me.
"Yeah hi, unless you're going to order something, can you stop talking and move"
The girl popped her gum and walked over to a table.
"Oh my gods, I am forever in your debt" said the barista. His name tag read Percy.
"Hey, no problem. No one can keep me from my coffee"
Percy laughed and asked what I wanted to order.
"Can I have a medium black" I said, fishing out my wallet.
"Wow no cream or sugar, intense. Is that it?"
"Uh no can I also get a large soy green tea latte" I asked.
"Not only are you an intense coffee drinker, but you also drink double" said Percy with a goofy grin.
"Oh, no this is for my friend" I said pointing to Liz.
I handed him my credit card and he did whatever the cash register things do.
"Your total is $8.70"
I smiled and headed over to the counter to wait for the drinks.
Eventually both our coffee was ready and I brought them over to Liz.
"Soooo... I saw you flirting with that hot barista"
"His name is Percy and I wasn't flirting" I said holding back my urge to look at him.
"Really cuz it looked like flirting to me" singsonged Elizabeth.
"Well you saw wrong" despite what I said I could feel a blush creep onto my face. A/N I just realized if you replace the word blush with anything else that statement jus became 10 times creepier
"Oh shoot, I've gotta run, I told my mom I would pick up Jack on the way home. His soccer practice ran late today. Want a ride?" Asked Elizabeth.
"Nah I'm good, I can just walk" I waved goodbye as she ran out the door.
I finished the last few sips of my coffee and left it on the table.
It had nothing left in it. Except for a lipstick stain and the top and my phone number left on the sleeve.
Once I had left the cafe, I could see Percy through the glass door. He picked up the cup to through it away. But he must have noticed the writing on the sleeve, because he smiled, took the sleeve and through the rest of the cup away.
A/N hey everyone I hoped you enjoyed this short chapter. And I finally got to use some OCs! Best wishes!
