Chapter 1

I walked out the grocery store trying to hold the umbrella and paper bags at the same time. The rain was pouring and just my luck all they had was paper bags so here I am walking in the rain trying to hold four paper bags that are now soaked, trying to carry an umbrella, and find my car.

I find my car and fumble with my keys before they go falling to the wet concrete. I reach down to pick them up and I go down with it making the bags fall out of my reach and apples rolling everywhere. Today just isn't my day is it? My white sweater is now soaked with black water and my apples are gone and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a cold.

A deep laugh comes from behind me and I turn around and see a boy with light brown disheveled hair laughing at me.

"Excuse me, I don't see anything funny here," I say huffing with annoyance.

"Well you fell on your bum and your apples are rolling all over the place, I think that's pretty funny to me," He says with a grin on his face.

"If you are just going to laugh at me then you can just leave," I say getting annoyed with his attitude. Where did he come from? I don't even know the guy!

"I'm sorry, here let me help you out," He says offering me a hand, I refuse and stand up myself. I pick up my keys and open the trunk to my car.

"For being so rude can I treat you to some coffee?" He says leaning against my car.

"No thanks, I don't normally go to coffee with guys I meet at the grocery store," I say picking up my bags and throwing them into my car before i shut it.

"Aw come on! It's the least I could do since you lost all your apples!" He says trying to persuade me.

"I would but I don't even know the first thing about you and if I don't go now I'n going to miss the new episode of Pretty Little Liars,"

"Okay, my name is Louis, I like tea, and I'm 22. There you know three things lets go!" He says pulling my arm towards his car. Is he trying to kidnap me? Lord I am to young to die.

He opened his car and strapped in, "Are you coming in or not?" he asked looking up at me. I bit my lip contemplating if I should get in or not. I slid in and buckled myself in the seat.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it?" He asked smiling at me. I just laughed and he put the car in gear before driving out of the parking lot.

"So tell me about yourself, I feel like we are going to best friends and best friends know everything so explain!" He says drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.

"You only told me three things about you so I'm telling you three things!" I say fumbling with my sweater. "My name is Rachel, I am 21, and I don't usually make friends at grocery stores," I say laughing.

"Awh so I'm special?" He says smiling widely at me.

"Yes, yes you are,"

We finally arrived at a cute little coffee shop named Coffee Cabana.

A waiter took our orders and now we are just waiting for them to bring them back.

"I think you should have gotten those apples," Louis says laughing.

"Why?" I ask curiously.

"Because, there is 10/10 chance you are getting a cold and you know what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away," He says with a goofy grin.

"HaHa how funny," I say glaring at him.

Our drinks come and I just sit there sipping my coffee while Louis drinks his tea. I stare out the window and see little raindrops, I put my finger on the foggy glass and write.
