"Um, I'll take The Fault In Our Stars, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Walk Two Moons." I said to the lady across the counter, who pulled the books off of the cart and passed them to me. I handed her the money for the three books, grabbed my Starbucks

And laptop, then walked over to a couch in the big bookstore, Barnes and Noble, and sat down.

I logged on to tumblr on my lap top and blogged a bit, answering some questions that my followers had asked me, I had a lot of followers and it's honestly my life to blog. I sound like a loser when I say that, but it's true. I sipped at my coffee and continued scrolling until a deep voice startled me, it came from behind.

"The Fault In Our Stars, great book," my eyes met with chocolate brown ones and I jumped a bit.

"Yeah, I've read it three times." I stated quiet and shyly.

"Really? I've read it twice," the boy smiled warmly and placed my book back in its place by my leg on the couch. "I'm Cameron." He said, holding out his hand.

"I'm Sidney," I shook his hand, smiling widely at him. He was very attractive.

"Mind if I sit here?" He asked, pointing to the spot beside me.

"No not at all, feel free."

Niall isn't my boyfriend so this isn't wrong at all. Cameron sat down and pulled out his laptop, he had the exact same MacBook as I did. I tried not to stare at him as he logged onto a site that I was on.

"Whoa, you like tumblr too?" I asked him, grinning like an idiot.

"Y-Yeah. I blog a lot, got lots of followers." He replied, stuttering.

"Me too! That's so cool."

We both sat in silence as we typed away on our laptops. I finished my coffee and set it by my books on a table so I could remember to throw it away. My outfit was so comfy, I had on an oversized sweater, leggings, and Uggs. My hair was in a messy bun and I had on my basic makeup. Cameron sighed and I turned my head to look at him, and I found him staring down at his hands that were rested on his keyboard.

"You okay?" I asked, chuckling silently to myself.

"Yeah, I was gonna ask you something but never mind."

"Cameron! Ask me."

"Nope," he said, popping the P.

"Pretty please?" I gave him the puppy dog eyes and he let out a long and loud groan that he made sound like a little girl and I giggled loudly, making him smile.

"Can I h-have your n-number?" He stuttered.

I took his phone from beside his leg and went to his contacts, putting my number in there and I thought about what my contact name should be for his phone.

Sidney:)

Basic, but I decided that the name would do. I put his phone back and smiled, saying 'There,'. Cameron had work so he left, he kissed my cheek and carried his things with him and I chewed on my bottom lip, then left ten minutes after he did. I put my laptop and books in my Vera Bradley bag and adjusted the straps on both of my shoulders. I threw away my coffee then walked out of the bookstore, the cold air felt like needles to my hands and I pulled my long sweater sleeves over them to keep them warm. As I was walking home, snow started to fall and I grinned widely, catching some snowflakes in my hands on the sleeves of my sweater as I walked. A song that was stuck in my head started escaping my lips before I could stop it.

"Cause it's too cold for you here, and now so let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater," I walked quickly on the sidewalk of crowded people, my footsteps in a beat. "And if I may just take your breath away

I don't mind if there's not much to say

Sometimes the silence guides our minds so move to a place so far away

The goose bumps start to raise

The minute that my left hand meets your waist and then I watch your face

Put my finger on your tongue

'Cause you love to taste, yeah." I was singing a bit louder and people who walked by would stare but then walk off again.

"Nice voice," a raspy Irish voice whispered in my ear and I turned around to see Niall behind me, smirking devilishly.

"God, you scared me." I stated and he chuckled, placing his hands on my sides and placing a kiss to my forehead.

We walked to the outside of a bakery and he propped himself up against the wall, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it. He brought it to his lips and began smoking it.

"Have you ever smoked, Sidney?" He asked, one of his eyebrows raised.

I didn't want to sound like a bore or stupid, so I gulped and stood up all high and brave.

"Pfft. Yeah," I said, crossing my arms. Niall chuckled and placed the cigarette to my mouth and whispered to me, 'inhale it.' So I did, and I ended up coughing madly. He laughed and I pouted, looking to the ground. Niall smashed the cigarette with his foot and placed his arm around my shoulder as we started walking again.

"So innocent,"

"I am not innocent! Really, Ni." I said, looking up to him.

"Oh, so now you have nicknames? Hmm, P Sherman 42 wallaby way Sidney?" He said, smirking like a badass.

"Uh, Sydney Australia isn't spelled like my name, and second of all, so you do watch Disney movies?"

He rolled his eyes before speaking again.

"You wish."
