She's Not Afraid (One Direction/5SOS)

Chapter 2

‘Your name?’ He took out his hand for me to shake it.

‘Um... I'm late right now, so er... you know. I’ll see you later.’ I hesitated. Well that wasn’t awkward AT ALL.

 I rushed towards my death as I reminded myself I had to attend my beating –not literally-.

Knock. Knock.

‘Come in.’

I opened the door slowly with a straight face. ‘Sorry, I'm late s-‘I got cut off.

‘Miss Marlene, why has this been an issue over a long period of time? I'm very concerned.’

‘Sorry, I just get caught up with pointless things and...’

‘Go on.’ He politely ushered me.

‘Well, just bad things overall. Simple things but things that can change you, you know? But I wish those little things would just leave me alone.’

‘Hmm... I see... Well if this keeps being a constant thing, you know the consequences. Understood?’

‘Yes sir.’ I politely stood up and left the room.

I took a deep breath and started to make my way towards my desk, I stopped in my tracks because I forgot to have my morning Starbucks –yes, this is like a normal thing #commonwhitegirl-  ‘Shit.’ I mumbled. I saw Luke come over towards me.

‘Hey.’ He began a conversation. WAY TO MAKE THIS AWKWARD.

‘Oh h-‘ I got cut off, yet again.

‘You know you’ve been acting weirdly lately, so um... you wanna grab some coffee at lunch? Only if you want to that is.’ He asked shyly and smiled. I nodded in agreement and smiled widely.

I made my way to my desk, and sat down. I dreaded work most days just because I have to work next to a loud, slutty, busty girl named ‘Heather’. Life please kill me now.

She was chewing gum loudly and was on the phone to her so-called boyfriend, dear lord; please tell me what people see in her, I'm guessing the cleavage and easy access.

‘Shut. The. Fuck. Up.’ I mumbled quietly but loud enough for her to hear.

‘Excuse me, Adrianna Banana?’ God how I hate that stupid nickname. Heather asked like I took her boyfriend away from her.

‘What?’ I said looking at her like I want to suck the life out of her and bury her in a cardboard box. She turned away and left the room. When she did, all I can hear is ‘finally!’ and ‘the devils gone. YES!’ Well not so much the devil, but to me she acts like daughter of Satan. What is wrong with me?

The morning went pretty fast actually, so now I'm ready for my coffee date with that gorgeous hunk of a boy named ‘Luke’. I was sitting in my office area when Luke came over to me.

‘Hey, you ready?’ He started a conversation.

‘Um... Yeah, I think.’ I hesitated, as I replied I looked around my area to see if there’s anything I have to do before I go. With that I stood up and nodded my head, saying that I was ready. We walked out the building and walked to the nearest Starbucks cafe.

‘What would you like?’ Luke asked politely.

‘Usual, please.’ I replied, by the way my usual is a caramel frappuccino, they taste like absolute heaven. Once I've told him what I'd want, he ordered me my drink. He's a gentleman as well, BONUS.

We walked to the only empty table and sat down; it was a 4-seated table so we sat opposite each other. We talked about our pasts to one another, it was really comforting actually, having a friendly talk with a guy, and these things don't happen to girls without drama.

After finishing my drink, Luke’s friends came over and sat down in the two vacant seats next to us both. I looked down and not made any eye contact whatsoever. After a while, they asked me what my name was, I didn’t realise they were talking to me so I just kept my head down. CLICK. CLICK. The sound of some fingers snapped in front of my face which made me snap out of my random zoning out session.

‘What’s your name, beautiful?’ A deep, raspy voice spoke.
