Belle is an 18 year old teenager who lives with her aunt and uncle. She is a highschool student and is a part time worker in a coffee shop. Belle is just an average teenager. She gets good grades, has a clean record and has great friends. After class Belle is getting ready to go to work when her friend Alex approached her.

Alex: Belle you wanna watch a movie tonight at my house?
Belle: Sorry I can't today, I will be at the coffee shop.
Alex: oh come on Belle! We need to spend some time together! Its been a long time since we hung out. Take a break from work.
Belle : sorry I cant. Maybe next time. Okay?
Alex: thats what you always say.
Belle: sorry. Next time I promise! Gotta go now bye!
Alex: bye!

When belle left, Patrick who is belle's and Alex's friend approached Alex.

Patrick: so she refused your invite huh?
Alex: yah.. I dont know why she is so distant. She was not like this before.
Patrick : maybe she is going through something. Has she talked to you about anything?
Alex: nope. But I am getting worried.
Patrick: dont worry alex, she will open up to us when she's ready.
Alex: I guess you're right. So let's watch a movie at my house?!
Patrick: sure! Let's go!

Belle had arrive in the coffee shop where she works and changed into her uniform. Then starts her duty. Belle has encountered different kinds of customers. There were the customers who took a century before saying what they want to order, the ones who are in a hurry, there are also the flirty types. Despite encountering different kinds of customers she kept her cool and did the best she can. But on this day, a guy that she wasn't really familiar with came in to the shop, Belle knew almost all the faces of their regular customers. So she wondered if that was his first visit. Then he walked up to the counter.

Belle: goodafternoon sir! May I take your order?
Daniel: yes uhm... I would like to order a mocha frappe tall please .
Belle: okay one mocha frappe, is there anything else sir?
Daniel: no thats it
Belle: okay sir may I know your name?
Daniel: its Daniel
Belle: alright sir that would be $2.95
Daniel: okay here.
Belle : thank you sir...

When Daniel sat down, Belle notices that the guy kept looking at her. But she didn't let him notice that she was aware of what he is doing.  Belle just focuses with her work. Then continued taking orders of the customers. Daniel finally got his frappe and when he went back to his seat, he keeps on looking at Belle. And she is still aware of what he was doing. Belle is really uncomfortable with that guy who keeps on looking at her. She felt as if she has something on her face or something like that but her shift had finally ended. She went straight home. Her aunt left her dinner in the fridge and left a note.

(Note)
- hey sweetie! Me and your uncle are eating out with our friends in a  restaurant nearby. But I prepared you something to eat so just reheat it okay? Be back as soon as possible love
you!
-  Auntie Jane

Belle: well I guess I can't let this food go to waste.
After eating her dinner, she went to her room and changed her clothes and did some homework then went to bed.
