"Excuse me" a deep, raspy voice pulls me out of my sleepy state.

I sit up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands before taking a look at the stranger standing in front of me.

"Excuse me?" He repeats himself.

"Hmm?" I mumble.

"What are you doing out here sleeping on a bench" he half laughs in his question.

"I uh.. Nothing, I'm gonna go now" I didn't even know who this guy was but, I sure as he'll didn't want to talk to him about why I was sleeping on a bench.

"Why?" His voice comes out a bit whiny and I find it funny.

"Because I don't know you!" I try to keep my voice firm but, it comes out stupid and pathetic.

"Suit yourself" he says, turning his head to act as if he doesn't care.

I giggle and turn on my heel and walk down the street.

For an odd stranger he was nice.

In my life I haven't has many stranger confrontations.

I catch a glance of my appearance in the window to a shop as I walk by.

I look like shit, my hair is pulled into a messy ponytail and I'm wearing sweats and a t-shirt.

I looked homeless.

I am homeless.

I let my hair loose, and run a hand through it as it falls past my shoulders.

"This is a nice place" the same voice I heard only minutes before is back.

I spin around, already knowing what to expect.

The boy. His golden-blonde looked shiny in the morning light.

He is gesturing to the shop that I was, we were standing in front of.

He must have seen me checking myself in the glass.

Wait, he must have followed me.

"Did you follow me?" I question him.

"Me?, no" he places a hand on his chest to act as if I had hurt him with the accusation.

"Your a bad liar" I insult him, with a smile growing on my lips.

He had a thick accent.

"No, I'm not" he states, mimicking my smile.

Who is this guy?

"Do you want to have breakfast?" He asks before I can speak.

"I don't even know you" my eyes flick to the inside of the small diner and I feel my stomach grumble slightly.

"Are you hungry?" He questions me again.

"No" I attempt to lie.

"Now, who's the bad liar?" He laughs.

"So, are you coming to breakfast with me are what?" He points to the door.

As far as I know this boy could me an ax-murderer but, somehow I felt different about him.

I hesitate for a moment, before stepping in the diner with him behind me.

He directs the way and sits us at a booth in the far corner.

He twiddles his thumbs for awhile before speaking up.

"So what's your name?" He asks.

"What's yours?" I shake my head, I wasn't giving my name until he gave me his.
