Neu's P.O.V:

My eyes were glazed over, the slight autum breez burned my eyes, but I bairly registered the sensation... turns out, zoning out, has a bunch of benefits.

After 30 more seconds the smoke from my cigarette blew into my eyes making me yelp and cover them "Jesus!"

Brad's P.O.V:

Turns out sisters are fuckin' annoying. They WON'T shut up!! It was roughly 5PM so my mom got home, scolded us and gave me the work I missed Yippy!!! Homework!! I'mmm so happy. Isn't sarcasm the best, my sis doesn't get it but eh. Win some lose some.

I was in my room, small slivers of light breaking through the curtains, the sky was painted orange, blue and light pink. That's when I heard my phone buzz on the nightstand

Neu-wy:

Hey man. Sorry I dissapeared last night. Can we talk?

Braddy:

Sure. What's up?

Neu-wy:

Face to face man. Meet me at Luxy's Diner. 21 Westhill.

Braddy:

K. C u soon man.

After texting with Neu I bolted downstairs "Mom!" My mom poked her head out from the kitchen door "Yes?" "I'm gonna go see a friend. Ps. Was Neu at school today?" After 2 seconds (which felt like 200 years) she shook her head "No, he didn't show. Sorry dear."

Neu's P.O.V:

I was already waiting outside the diner for Brad, Luxy - my boss - scolded me for disappearing on her and after 30 minutes of apologising and 20 minutes of washing dishes I was forgiven... I think... probably... hopefully.

Anyway, it's been 20 minutes since I texted Brad and still nothing, seems he didn't wanne come. I was about to leave when I heard my name being called from down the block.

It was Brad, jogging up to the diner and looking like a psyco - because he was yelling like one from down the street - but I was happy... maybe he did care. My cheeks quickly flushed when he stopped infront of me, god... that musk!!

"Sorry I'm late man. My mom was taking forever to answer my questions." Even though he was talking and my ears were hearing my brain was switched off. I was basically a creepy doll standing there checking out his whole body 'God I'm so weird'.

"Why didn't u go to school?" At the exact moment he said school my brain switched on and I was blushing more "W-what? I was at school... I think."

Brad's P.O.V:

Neu was SO checking me out, the guy might be a great footballer but he's a crap liar "Did you hear what I said?" This was getting fun, even though his fur was as dark brown as u can get I could still see him blushing like a tomato... no this was brighter, a X-mas tree fairy light. BRIGHT red.

He began to chuckle nervously so I just patted him on the back "Chill dude. I'm just torturing you." I gave small but happy chuckle "Wanne have some dinner? I think Lux and I are on good terms.... or I hope so atleast." I could tell by his tone that he was nervouse, scared or terrified and finally, a little embarrassed.

My eyes quickly scanned the diner, bright blue booths, tables, uniforms and finally A, if not The most adorable wolf next to me. His bright blue uniform completely screwed with his dark brown, almost black-ish fur, but man... it complimented his eyes, they were such a bright blue with small splashes of green and brown around his eyris, god I wanne kiss him!! But I can't, his pants looked a little uncomfortable too, it made me chuckle "Sure. Maybe she won't poison your food or drink."

Neu's P.O.V:

Brad was kidding but... knowing Luxy... he might wanne have 911 on speed dial. We walked into the diner and headed for a booth in the back. I slipped into the seat and let out a small sigh of relief as Jenna (another waitress and good acquaintance of mine) made her way to the booth "Hey Neu! Wat can I get ya?" She's over cheery... o god "Uh.... I'll just have a water and a burger please."

After writing down my order she turned to Brad and now he was faced with a too bright smile and outlook of the crap shoot we call life "Um... I'll take a coffee, black 2 sugars and the dubble bacon cheeseburger." Wow... when did he read the menu-- probably while I was contemplating leaping for the door.

"Be back soon!" Jenna zoomed away from out booth and another sigh escaped my lips "I hope you have 911 on speed dial Brad. I might be murdered." My bright blue eyes met with Brad's dark green ones and I stopped breathing. Small flecks of gold and amber were scattered randomly though his eyes and the green was hard and cold but... at the same time warm and caring "I'm dialing the number. If anything happens there a ring away."

Brad's P.O.V:

He was staring at me, he was burning through me with those angel like eyes I can't believe it, he's just... so perfect, his face is soft and squishy but still nicely shaped, he's muscular, tall (I beat him by 3 or 4 inches) and when he talks it gives you that 'He's so innocent vibe but if you hang around with him you see he's not that innocent.'

"I'm dialing the number. If anything happens they're a ring away." His eyes were still focused on me, that blue... o plz, plz Brad don't get a boner when you look him over. "Here you go boys! Neu, Luxy said there's glass in your burger." Jenna quickly made her get away and now we were both staring at Neu's burger "Should... should I eat it?"

He looked like a five year old trying to decide if eating a slug was ok, poor guy "How about we switch. I have great insurance." Before the inevitable protest from the timber wolf I swapped the plates and took a big bite of his burger.

1 minutes l8tr

.......

2 minutes l8tr

.......

3 minutes l8tr

.......

"No glass. Just REALLY good burger!" I devoured the rest of the burger and as the colour came back to Neu's face he ate my burger. He looked so panicked, poor guy really does worry a lot.

We started making small talk while we ate and I would occasionally choke when Neu told me about some stuff he did his freshman and sophomore year. For example, locking himself in a bathroom stall with a broken lock, which meant either 1. Crawl out. Or 2. Scream for help. He went with 2.

Another thing he did was trip over thin air in the middle off the hall his first day and sent his books everywhere but infront of him. I was starting to tear up by the time he told his last story, holding in a laugh is one of the most painful experiences ever.

Neu's P.O.V:

While I was telling Brad my last story he began tearing up, at first I thought I'd said something to make him sad so I started panicking and wiped away the tears (total chick moment #facepalm) but he stopped shaking and blushed a deep scarlet red which in turn made me blush 'He's cute.' I pulled my hand back and looked at my lap in shame "S-sorry Brad." I'm SUCH a weirdo.

'RUN!!'
