Monday mornings are normally not that bad for me, but I am really tired today. Probably because I had to finish up some school work late last night ugh. I am thankful that it was not a big amount of work, but my mind was still in a cloud of thoughts all weekend until I walked in my room yesterday and saw my school bag.

I’m not going to let myself repeat this weekend so I roll of my bed and put on some skinny ripped jeans and a navy blue floral tank top. I tossed my bag over my shoulder and grabbed my new book Alex gave to me the other day. Alex and Lizzy are still asleep so I leave the building and head over to the little bakery, we went to the other day.

I walk up to the counter and order a coffee and a muffin. The nice older lady smiles and hands me my orders, just as a crash is heard from the kitchen. The lady huffed in annoyance “Sorry about that, enjoy your breakfast sweetie.” Then she stomped back into the kitchen, as I sat down at a table and opened my book while taking a bite out of my muffin. I was disappointed because the muffin wasn’t even half as good as it was last time. So I took a small sip of my coffee and it felt as if I nearly burnt my tongue off. I sighed and went back to my book.

“The book thief hmm?”   

His raspy voice startled me, causing me to pour the scorching coffee all over my favorite tank top.

“ow, ow, owww”

“Hold on I will go get some paper towels.”  He rushes back to the kitchen and came out with a paper towel roll while the lady was slightly scolding him.

He just brushed by her and handed me some paper towels I dabbed my chest trying to stop my skin from burning off.

“Are you ok?”

“Ya I’m find the coffee is just really hot.” I look up and meet his green eyes. He is wearing jeans a white v neck his hair is pulled by with a beanie and an apron is tied around is neck.

“You’re so hot.”

He raised one eyebrow at me and I’m pretty sure that my face is now redder than my burned skin.

“I-I I meant its so hot” I eminently blurt out like an idiot, stuttering as I do so.

“It’s cool so did you enjoy your breakfast?”

“Not really, it doesn’t even come close to the last time I was here. My muffin is overdone. Also the coffee was insanely hot. ” I half frowned

“Well then I should be the one apologizing because I made the muffins and coffee this morning.”

“Oh I see, I bet you tried to poison my muffin and you wanted me burn my mouth from the coffee.” I said jokingly.

He smirked “Yep I did that just for you and getting in trouble with Barbra was a bonus to.”

“I am guessing that Barbra is the older lady behind the counter?”

“You must be psychic” Harry said overdramatically.

He sat down with me and we ended up talking for a while until we both had to get to our first period together.

As we were walking down the sidewalk to class he kept on joking around. I don’t understand how someone can go from serious and overpowering to making muffins and joking around.

My pocket vibrated and I pulled out my phone. Kay’s name read across the screen and the text she sent said

FROM: Kay-Kay <3

If you randomly get a package that may or may not be from my address DON’T open it until you call me but this might not happen so if I dose don’t you dare open the package until you call me wait you should skype anyway love you xoxoxxo

TO: Kay-Kay <3

Ok I will open it as soon as I get it

Almost 3 seconds later I get a text back

FROM: Kay-Kay <3

NO DON’T OPEN IT!!

TO: Kay-Kay <3

Ik I was kidding I will open the possible package while I Skype call you

FROM: Kay-Kay <3

Okkkk xoxo

I laughed to myself as I read the last text.

“You good?” Harry asked nudging my shoulder.

“Ya I was just texting my sister Kay she is freaking out about some random package she is sending me and she wants me to open it in front of her on a Skype call. She is just so funny and I miss her a lot cause she moved to California to go to college there an now she lives there with her boyfriend Liam.

I was always a little closer to her than my brother Hunter because he is a lot older and married to his wife Rose. My parents still live in Florida and now I’m far from all of them and I miss them, but I’m happy to be here. ” I ramble on to his my life story.

“I know what it’s like.” He sighs.

“Hey, it’s okay you will see them soon” I try to cheer him up.

“Not really.” He says quietly as we enter the classroom.

As I enter the room with Harry by my side I get a confused look from Zayn and I sit down at the nearest desk pulling Harry down to sit next to me. Harry gives me a confused look but just shrugs it off.

***

After class Harry said bye and put his number in my phone before headed to his next class. I was about to turn around when someone grabbed my hand. I turned around to face Zayn’s brown eyes.

“Ryann I’m sorry”

Then memories flooded back from the words that were past overdue.
