Ahhh, Starbucks.

Just the thing every girl needs after 5 hours of studying Chemistry.

I try my best to stay away but after 5 hours of continuously trying to remember the periodic table, staying awake seems impossible.

I grab my phone and keys, wear my high top white converse, and walk to the nearest Starbucks. Which happens to be about a block away.

I push open the glass doors and immediately the smell of roasted coffee beans and caramel hits me. The jingle of bells ring in my ears as my nose takes a while to get used to the heavenly smell of Starbucks Coffee.

I take a glance at the Menu and scan through, hoping to see a new type of coffee. I see one called the "Popzel" which is Caramel Popcorn moved with salted pretzels. My mouth starts watering at the thought of the Flavours in the coffee.

I make my way to the counter and am greeted by a boy with dirt blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. His name tag reads Penguin.

Strange.

"Hi! Welcome to Starbucks! May I take your order, young lady?" he says with a thick accent.

Aussie?

"Hi, I'd like a Tall Popzel please." I say with a smile.

"Sure thing, anything else?"

"No thanks that'll be all."

"Alright, name?"

"Scarlet"

" Nice name,"

I thank him and look down as I feel my cheeks heat up.

"That'll be $7.50"

I hand him a $10 bill am about to make my way to the collection counter when he calls out to me.

"Yeah?"

" You forgot your change,"

"Oh sorry!" I say and kick myself mentally for being an idiot.

"It's okay. Here ya go, doll."

My cheeks turn crimson red and I look down,taking the change.

"T-thanks."

I quickly walk, almost to the point of running, to the pickup counter.

"Order for a Tall Popzel by the name of Scarlet?" a guy with curly brown hair and dark brown eyes reads out loud. His name is Calum, as said by the name tag he's wearing.

"Here," I say and make my way to pick it up. I give him a warm smile and say thanks. He replies with a no problem and returns the smile.

He's kinda cute.

Then again, all boys at Starbucks are.

I go out into the cooler air of LA and go to my house. I quickly close the door to prevent any cold air from rushing into my warm, cosy home.

I put my phone and keys on the kitchen island and take a seat. I flip my Chemistry book to the page I was last on. I am about to take a drink of my coffee when I noticed something scribbled on the bottom of my cup.

It's a number and next to it, reads "Call me ;-)"
