I walked into the breakroom and got in line to order, still thinking about him.

I was contemplating ordering food or just a drink, when it came my turn to order. I knew I should eat, last time I didn't it was bad.. One of the worst I'd had. But I decided to just order a coke instead.

I got my coke and went to sit with Jill, Mellanie, and Ethan, who were also on break.

"Fee, is that seriously all you got?" asked Jill.

"Yeah," I answered back, "I'm not hungry."

"Have you eaten today?" She asked.

"More than a dollar bag of chips?" She quickly added as I began to answer.

"Yes!" I lied, I knew she wouldn't believe me, I'm a terrible liar.

"Go get food Fee. You know what happened last time. Those headaches are no joke! You know what the doctor said!" Ethan practically yelled at me from across the table.

"I'm fine," I insisted.

"If you don't go get some food for yourself, I will." Mellanie said, and before I could protest anymore she was out of her chair and in line for the cash register.

Maybe this is where I should explain where all of that came from. About 2 months ago I started getting these killer headaches. I tried to pass them off as stress, you know new school year right? Well my friends decided differently, and thought I needed to go to the doctor, so they told my mom.. Long story short, I went to the ER one night after work with a headache so bad I couldn't stand up. The doctors said they still don't know what's wrong but that I need to eat 3 meals a day, especially when I'm working. Or they'd get worse. So needless to say, my friends make sure I eat.. While I'm around them at least.

Mellanie came skipping back over, chicken strips and honey mustard in hand. She sat back down in her seat next to me, set the food infront of me and said, "Eat." No please, no thank you, just "Eat."

So I did as told, knowing they would eventually find a way to force feed it to me somehow anyways.

We all finished eating and just talked and joked until it was time to go back to our rides. I walked out of the breakroom and waved goodbye to everyone, as we all went our seperate ways. When I turned around I saw those ice blue eyes, staring at me, following me as I walked. I just flashed a quick shy smile, thinking he wouldn't recognize me, and kept walking, watching my feet.

"Hi," a quiet voice I'd never heard before filled my ears.

I looked up just as he fell in step beside me.

"Hey," I relpied, trying not look as shocked as I felt.

"My names Talon," he said, sounding a bit more confident than before.

"Felicity," I told him, "My friends call me Fee for short."

"Fee," he repeated, flashing that gorgeous smile again.

"At least I'm not named after a birds foot!" I shot back, beginning to feel self-concous.

"I was going to say cute name," He replied quietly, blushing as he looked down at is feet.

"Oh," I said, feeling stupid for snapping at him, "Sorry, I like your name too, I just get defensive with my name!" I added quickly.

"Thanks." There was that killer smile again.

We walked along in silence, through the screaming kids and the flashing lights, towards my ride. He was the one who broke the silence.
