I walked into Starbucks before I had to go to my friends house to finish our project. "White chocolate mocha please" I said as I got to the front counter "ok that will be ready in a minute" I nodded and went to go find a seat in the back. I got to a empty table and I sat down I pulled out my book and began reading. "White chocolate mocha?" I stood up " that would be me" I smiled as I grabbed the warm cup of sweet liquid " thank you" I said and paid. I began walking towards the door while reading when I saw a boy out of the corner of my eye on his phone not paying attention. Then a second passed and I felt a bump and saw coffee going towards the ceiling and me falling towards the floor "Help!!" is all I could say before I got the breath knocked out of me. "Oh my gosh!" I heard the boy say as he helped me up " I am a sorry"
-----------------------------
Me and the boy who I bumped into where walking out of the coffee shop with my now ruined book and shirt. "James" the boy said I looked at him confused " my name is James" I smiled "my name is Courtney" I smiled again " Courtney Jhonson" I looked at the ground when I heard a small chuckle from the boy who looked about eighteen. " you shouldn't of given me your last name" he said still laughing "why not?" I said smiling nervously. I looked at my book which was still not dry from the spill " because now I can go and search you up on the computer" I looked at him like he was crazy and he laughed "I was joking".
"Dear gosh don't do that to me" I laughed as I looked back at him he had handsome blue eyes that went with his brown hair. His lips curled into a smile "um may I help you miss Courtney?" I shook my head to clear my thoughts and I smiled. "Why yes I could go for a new book" I held up my coffee drenched book with the pages that were once white but where know a brownish creme color " oh of course". He grabbed the book from my hands " I won't buy you new one because this one is still readable so"
Rippppp!
"What the heck!" I looked at the pages James ripped out that he now held in his right hand " now it is unreadable so now I will bring you to a book store" he smiled at me and I smiled at him but then I remembered about my friend Taylor. I quickly grabbed my phone from my back pocket of my skinney jeans
*I AM SO SORRY * I texted her
*FOR WHAT?* she answered back but that is when my phone has to die "What the heck" I glared at the blank screen of my phone and sighed we'll there goes that " you ok there Courtney you seem pretty mad at your phone?" I looked up at James who I totally forgot was there " oh yeah my phone just died that's all" I smiled and placed it back in my back pocket.
--------------------------
We were on the road now and on are way to the book store after I got ahold of my Mom and Taylor telling them what happened and were I was going. "James?" I look at him "yeah?" he looked at me for a brief second and smile then looked back at the rode "don't I know you from school?" I ask him and he thinks as we stop at a red light " oh yeah we have math together am I correct?" he keeps looking at the ride as the light turned green and I think about it " your right". I finally look out my window " oh yeah here is your phone back" I set his phone in is open hand " thanks again" I smiled and looked out the window as we pulled into the parking lot of Barns and noble " anything for the girl who I spilt coffee on" at that comment I laughed
----------------------
After I bought my book and gave him directions to my house we went back to his car and drove off "Courtney?" I looked over at James "yea?" we pulled on to my street and I pointed to my house " I want to hang out with you again. But I promise I won't spill coffee on you again" he said as he pulled into my drive way I smiled and nodded my head "sounds fun". we exchanged number when we were stopped in my drive way. I got out of the car and walked towards the front door before I turned around and waved at James as he pulled out of my driveway in his challenger. I got inside and looked at the piece of paper with his number on it and smiled.
