       You walked down the street with a few new books in your hand. You had just bought some new books and planned to read them as soon as you got home. It was cold and it was snowing. The white crystals fell in your hair that was down at your sides. You had a cute brown jacket with fluff that covered your mouth and parts of your nose. You nuzzled it deeper as the wind picked up. You wore some black pants that had sparkles towards the bottom. You found a Cafe not too far ahead of you and decided to go in. You walked into the warm building and the scent of hot chocolate and coffee hit you and you gladly took it all in. You walked in more and looked at the menu hung behind the countertop. It was a chalkboard that was written on all the time to change the menu, mainly adding and taking away items. You really didn't care for coffee or anything like it but you did love chocolate. You smiled as a blonde haired 17-year-old came up and asked "Hi! What would you like?!" he voice sounding very light and still changing. You smiled warmly and said "Hi! I would like to get a grande hot chocolate.". He smiled and said "Sure thing!" he smiled at you and you felt your cheeks become red a bit. He left and went to get your beverage ready you looked around and noticed it was pretty empty besides one person. He had navy blue hair that was cutely spread. He sipped on a drink looking at his watch. He shifted his eyes to you and in panic you jerked your eyes to the menu. You felt your heart become faster and this was normal. Every guy you saw that would notice you made your heart jump. You had never been in a relationship and you were 19. You thought this being really bad and wanted a boyfriend badly, but no guy asked you out or even tried to talk to you. So when someone did your heart would become frantic and scared, unsure of what to do. 

      You brought your eyes back down when you saw the 17-year-old boy come back with your drink. "That will be 4.99." he said setting the hot drink on the countertop before you. You pulled out your wallet and gave him a 5. You watch him put your money in the cash register. "Enjoy your drink!" he smiled warmly putting his elbow on the countertop resting his chin in his palm as you took the drink and smiled. You turned to the left of you and sat down at an empty table. You rested your hot drink on the table and sat down in a chair. You pulled out your books and brushed your hand over the top of the first one. "Love in Despair" it said. You flipped the cover and started to read the first chapter. "Him". You read through as the story progressed. You sipped your warm drink and it tickled the back of your throat. The story presented the male in the man relationship. It described every trait. The physical trait and character trait. You imagined what this man would look like in the author's eyes. You then grabbed your cup and noticed that it was empty. You sighed and placed the bookmark into the slot you were reading. You decided to leave and you looked out the window. It was light snowfall and you smiled. You put the cup into the trashcan and started to head out. You then noticed the man with the blue navy hair was getting up too and you headed out quickly. You walked into the cold and found already a few snowflakes had landed in your hair. You smiled and heard the bell ring and turned around. It was the man he was walking out and looked at you. You saw his dark black eyes look into yours and your heart skipped a beat. You turned around and started to walk home. You didn't notice that the man was trying to catch up to you till you heard someone say "Hey!". You paused and turned around. He was walking towards you with a smile. "H-hi." you said as you held the books in your hand forgetting the cold. "I saw you in the Cafe you seemed pretty interested in that book of yours." his voice was British and strong which sent a smile to your face. You couldn't stop it, "OH yea! I like this book, it's really good." you said smiling. He chuckled and said "Ya, what is it about?" he walked forward in the direction you were going in. "Well there's this girl and this boy....." you went on telling him about the story. You already read the book but it was so good you read it again. 

        You followed your path back home and he listened. After you were done telling him about the book you went and talked about normal life and getting to know each other more. "So what's your name?" you asked. He smiled and said, "My name is Tony.". You then remembered reading something about names and how Tony was a shorter version of Anthony. "Anthony?" you asked not making your question understandable. "Heh, what?" he asked looking rather confused. "Uh oh, well you see I read something about Tony being a shorter name of Anthony.". He smiled and said, "I guess I'm mean I've been called Tony my whole life.". You nodded and smiled dropping the topic. You found your house and said "Well this is my place." you said tucking your hair behind your ear. "Well have a good day and keep warm." he said with a warm smile. "You too." you said flashing him one back. He left and you watched him go on to his destination. You smiled and opened your door. The warm refreshing home hit you as you put your books down. You took off your jacket and set it down on a couch. You laid down and started to think to yourself. "Tony?" you said quietly to yourself.
