"Can I get a tall iced caramel macchiato please?"
I ordered my coffee at Starbucks which is my favorite coffee shop ever and looked around for a seat.
The place was pretty crowded at 9 in the morning as it took the barista, a whole 10 minutes to get my coffee.
Trying my best to not let my crankiness take over me, I moved toward an empty table.
I took out my phone from my jean pocket and started scrolling through instagram, when I saw a bunch of college students laugh and giggle.
I almost saw myself having a fun time with my friends and it reminded me of how happy I was back in Portland.
"I hope Boston treats me well" I thought to myself and went back to my phone.

After taking the last sip of my coffee, I realised that I was getting late.
I really need a digital detox!
I got up to leave and was heading out when I bumped into someone.
"What the fuck! Did someone sprinkle ground beans in your eyes that you couldn't see a six feet tall guy walking with a coffee cup?"
I looked up to see a blond guy with his eyebrows knitted together.
"I'm really sorry. I should've been more careful" I apologised.
"You bit--" he stopped when he saw a stain on his shirt. And that was enough to infuriate me.
"Excuse me? Watch your words!"
Then I remembered why I was in a hurry.
"Listen I'm already late for my class and in no mood to take this any further. To hell with you and your coffee!" I snapped and walked past him.
-----------------------
I hurriedly reached the class.
"Can I come in professor?"
I was worried that he might not let me in.
"Oh hello Ms Kingston, you're fifteen minutes late" He said looking down in his watch.
"I'm so sorry professor. I came across a dork on the way and---- it's a long story. It won't happen again."
The whole class bursted into laughter.
"Alright take your seat" he said politely.
"Thankyou" I bit my lip.
I was searching for an empty seat when I saw the same 'dork' lasering at me with his orbs. I sighed wondering if I had made an enemy on the very first day.
I took the seat next to him, the only seat that was unoccupied because I was really hard on luck.
"Are you really gonna just pretend now that you're not sitting next to me?"
He finally spoke after a couple of minutes, breaking the silence between us.
