I gently rub my green face mask across my face. It smells of roses and other beautiful flowers. It reminds me of my class trip to the rainforest where I first met my crush.
He was new to our school, and he had already made a bunch of friends. When we were there, he spilt his spaghetti on me and ever since then, I've had a crush on him. That was 5th grade though, tomorrow is my first day of 8th grade.
His name is Ryan. Such a dreamy name. He has short brown hair and he's always wearing a beanie. A totally adorable beanie. I always blush when I'm around him, so I wonder if it's obvious that I like him.
Right now, I'm out the back of my Mums Starbucks cafe, with my best friend, Aurora. She was named after a Disney princess.
"Can I please use some of that face mask?" Aurora asks "My face needs all the help it can get."
I pass her the face mask "Your face is beautiful and you know it!""Mmmm, it smells like flowers." Aurora says, before grabbing the last cookie from a cookie jar I found.
I stand up, looking for my new purple nail polish that looks adorable with the tan I have from living by the beach."Can I please have some cookies?" I hear a girl ask, from the cafe.
"I'll go and get some." I hear my Mum say.
Mum walks in.
"Do we have any cookies left?" She asks.
"Umm, no, I don't think so." I signal for Aurora to hide the empty jar of cookies.
"I'll have to go and buy some, would you mind manning the counter for a bit?" Mum asks.
"Sure thing." I agree."Wait, Elle!" Aurora whispers.
"Chill. I'll be back in a bit." I interrupt, before Mum and I walk into the cafe."I'm sorry, but we've run out of cookies, how about you take a seat, we'll have more in about 30 minutes." Mum assures.
The girl takes a seat.
"Order this boy, I'll be back soon." Mum whispers.Mum leaves and I walk up to the counter. Oh my god! That's Ryan!
"Hey! I'm Ryan, from school. You're Elle, right?" Ryan says.
"That's me." I say, way to enthusiastically "And I know you, your Ryan, the one that eats."
I blush, what am I saying?"Yeah. I do eat. Anyway, you have something on your face." He awkwardly smiles.
I touch my face. OH NO! My face mask! My bright green face mask!
"Do you want coffee? I'll make you coffee!" I yell, really loudly, trying to change the subject."Actually, I would like some-" Ryan starts.
"I'll make you coffee really quickly!" I yell, even louder than before.
I don't know why I'm saying this because I don't know how to make coffee, I don't even like coffee!"Milk!" I yell, people starting to watch me.
I grab a small, paper cup and I fill it with milk. Now what?
"Is there chocolate in coffee?" I ask myself, really loudly.
More people start watching.
"Chocolate?" Ryan shakes his head with confusion.Not knowing what to do, I yell "More milk!" I grab the milk carton and I pour milk into the small cup, milk goes everywhere.
Aurora walks out, "Coffee machine" she whispers.
I run towards the coffee machine. Suddenly I slip on some milk and I fall on my face. It really hurts.Everyone is watching me, some people are even filming and laughing. Aurora helps me up. I'm shaking and crying at the same time.
"Shhhh." Aurora whispers, patting my shoulder gently.
Slowly people start to leave, even Ryan, which really hurts.Tomorrow I have to go to school with some of those people, at least I know I have Aurora there for me.
