CAFFINE
The following Sunday, the plan of going to grab coffee with Laura and the group was in full swing. Eden felt like she should be the addition to the group. Eden had never really seen people around Laura unless they needed help with things. She seemed to keep to herself a lot but she was really genuine when asked anything.
Eden walked in to everyone already surrounding a table but without anything on it. She was greeted by everyone with a variation of a "hello" as she took a seat beside Kahol. A moment after Laura stepped into the small coffee shop and she stomped her feet on the front carpet. She took the hat off of her head and smiled at us as she came over to the table.
"Haven't ordered anything yet, guys?" She asked as she took a seat beside me.
"We were waiting on you two." Buzz said as she mentioned Laura and myself indirectly.
"Oh okay." Eden nodded with a smile as Kahol started to rise from his seat.
"What are we getting?" He asked as he acted like a waiter. Everyone listed one or two things they wanted, Kahol repeated it back, we all handed him money and then he left the table to order at the counter. As chatter began to occur between everyone else, Laura leaned over to me.
"Figure out who the fake me is?" She asked quietly.
"No. Not yet." Eden replied.
"I think I have an idea on how you could catch them off guard." She said as she wiggled her eyebrows. Eden giggled a little at her before she ushered her to continue.
"Take this into your power; we're both out together with a group, no one else is in the store, the person is probably home or doing something else." Laura shrugged as she sat straight up again. Laura crossed her hands together on the table top as Eden's jaw opened a little in awe.
"Smart idea." Eden pulled her phone out of the front pocket of her jeans and started a conversation with whomever it was. She locked the screen after she sent the opening messages that would lead her into blowing their cover. Buzz shot up as Kahol returned to the table with half of our stuff. Buzz walked over to the counter to retrieve the rest. Eden's phone vibrated just as Kahol sat down and as Buzz came back. Eden unlocked the screen to see the fake Laura's message:
new message from laura

message to laura
12:23PM i'm well. i'm waiting for you at the bus stop like planned. just wondering where you are..?
Eden locked her phone and placed it down with a small grin curling at her lips. She wrapped her hands around her mug as Buzz sorted out everyone's food, that is if they got something to eat.
"This was for Eden..." She talked quietly to herself as she slid my croissant over to Eden.
"Thank you." Eden said happily as she unwrapped her fingers from the mug and pulled off a piece from the tip of the croissant. She placed it in her mouth and started chewing just when her phone went off again. She unlocked it to see a message.
