We finally got to Starbucks, we parked right in front of the small place, I exited the car as fast as I could, the whole ride was really awkward, Shawn and E talked the whole time, they tried to include Grayson and I into the conversation, I wasn't feeling like talking, I'm sure Gray wasn't either.
It really is chilly today, thank god I'm wearing a hoodie, knowing Ethan he would've probably given me a short sleeve shirt.
We walked inside, a delicious coffee scent filling my nostrils. We got in line and started looking through the menu, I think I'm getting a vanilla bean frap. "What are you getting Sarah?" Shawn curiously asked me.
"I'm getting a vanilla bean frap, and you?" "black coffee" what? how, I hate plain black coffee, but I guess Shawn's one of those people. "how can you just drink coffee like that? It tastes so bitter" he laughed. "I once tried the vanilla bean frap, felt like I was drinking diabetes" I gasped, staring at him in disbelief.
"What?" he asked confused. "The frap isn't even that sweet" he shrugged, I rolled my eyes.
"What are you getting bro?" E asked Gray. "same as Sarah" he murmured, I felt a knot in my stomach when he said my name, I know, we barely had the fight yesterday, but it feels like it's been forever.
It was now our turn to order our coffees. "Good morning, what can I get for you?" a 19-22 year old guy said. "I'll take a black coffee, no sugar, no creme, just black coffee" I chuckled, that was really specific, the guy nodded and asked his name. "Shawn" he answered.
"For you guys?" can I please have a caramel frap" "Your name?" "Ethan" "I'm taking a vanilla bean frap please, Grayson" he said before the employee even asked his name, Ethan lightly laughed.
"And for you beautiful?" I'm flattered. "a vanilla bean frap please" he nodded. "My name's Sarah" "That'll be 34.82" I took out my wallet, but once again, Shawn beat me to it.
"Shawnnnn" I groaned. "Told you I would never let you pay" he winked, I think I just died.
"Thank you, you guys can take a seat over there while I get your drinks done" We thanked him and walked towards the little living room area, I took a seat next to Shawn, I took my phone out and started playing minecraft in it, yes, I play minecraft, It's fun okay?
"I have to use the restroom" Ethan said standing up from his chair. "I have to take call real quick be right back" great, just great.
I'm currently alone, with the one and only Grayson Dolan.
I cleared my throat and kept playing, It was a weird feeling being this nervous around him, we were so comfortable with each other since we met, this is sad.
"So, Gray- I mean, Grayson, h-how are you" "I'm great" he said, not taking his eyes off my phone, I licked my lips and played with my fingers.
"Nice jersey" oh my lord, not this again. "really?" I rolled my eyes. "can't you take a compliment?" he sassed, I don't want to fight him right now. "why did you do that?" I asked moving on from the subject. "why did I do what? try to warn you? oh, because you were my best friend" Ouch. "Oh.."
I took a sip of my coffee and went back to my phone. A few moments later, Mr.Giraffe was back.
"Hey, I'm back" I smiled, but my smile quickly faded after Grayson's comment.
"What did Manuel have to say?" I didn't even bother looking at him, this is too much.
"Oh no, I wasn't actually talking to him, I was talking to a friend of mine" he smiled at him, I knew he was pissed, but I'm glad that he's mature enough to keep calm.
"Sure you were" Grayson murmured under his breath. "Grayson, that's enough" I spoke up to him.
"I wasn't talking to you, I'm talking to your douche of a boyfriend" he spat. "Why am I even 'defending' you?" I couldn't believe him right now.
Shawn took a few steps forward, but it didn't take me long until I stopped him.
"J-just don't" I barely made out. "But Sarah" "just don't" I repeated, he finally nodded.
Ethan was now back from the restroom, I could tell he was confused.
"What's going on?" He asked. "Nothing much, just Sarah being a dumbass and defending her nasty ass boyfriend" My jaw flew open.
"Grayson!" Ethan was as shocked as I was. He had it bottled in..
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it to come out t-that way!" Sure he didn't.
"E, Shawn, I'm walking to school today.." they both shook their heads.
"You're coming with us" "no, I'm fine, I-I just need to think" I always do.
"Are you sure?" Shawn asked me. I nodded, he kissed my cheek and told me to be safe, Ethan offered to go with me but I declined.
"Thanks for the coffee by the way" I patted Shawn's shoulder.
I walked all the way there, all by myself.
I have to admit, it was kinda scary, but I'd rather be alone in the morning than stuck in a car with my now ex best friend who hates me.
That's 2018 for y'all.
I KNOW, IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE I'M SORRY 😭 Homework has been taking 99% of my free time, and I try to use the other 1% for sleep, buuuuut I had 500 words prewritten already, and I guess another 500 wouldn't take too long. Anyway, hope you have a good one, love you!!💜💜
