I followed her because I felt uncomfortable walking next to her. I didn't really care who she was and the fact that she asked me to come with her could be good for me to forget Miss Williams.

I didn't even know her name, but still I felt that she was a good person.

Once we stepped in the cafeteria, I looked around and there was absolutely no one here exept the both of us.

I came near the counter and started ordering, when I suddently felt the stranger's hand on my arm. I looked her, no really knowing what was happening.

" Stop, I'll pay. I invited you after all " she said with a smile.

" A-Are you sure? I can pay for me you know " I said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

" Don't worry, I've got it " she said winking at me.

" Okay, thanks then " I said releasing a smile and taking her hand of my arm.

I started searching a comfortable place, and I decided to choose my usual one.

I sat next to the window, looking outsite and thinking about everything that happened today.

First of all I find this stupid letter in Miss Williams' bag and then, because of my clumsiness, I bump into this random stranger. I have to admit, it didn't bother me that much, but still, I felt embarrassed because I didn't want her to know that something was wrong.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard someone walking towards me. I looked up and saw the stranger with both of our coffees, sitting in front of me.

" Thanks " I smiled looking right into her eyes.

She had big dark brown eyes. I usually didn't liked this color, but it suited her pretty well.

" So what's your name? " said the stranger.

" Jessica, but people usually call me Jess "

" Jess it is then "

" I'm Naomi by the way " she said extending a hand.

I looked at her and then shook her hand. Her skin was so soft that I didn't even want to take my hand out of hers.

I finally decided to stop the handshake.

I took a sip of my coffee while looking out of the window.

I didn't know why but I felt pretty uncomfortable with her around.

I was sitting there and I could feel her eyes still looking at me. It didn't bothered me because she didn't seem to be a bad or a creepy person, on the contrary, she even looked nice.

It was usually hard to know if someone was nice or not but it felt different with her, it's like I immediately knew that she was a good person.

I turned my head and our eyes met. We didn't say anything, we just stared at each other for a split second and then I broke eye contact and looked down at my coffee.

I didn't feel comfortable at all but I didn't know why.

" Are you okay " she said trying to catch my attention.

I looked at her and released a smile, saying " Yeah, why? "

She raised an eyebrow and then said " Are you sure? Because you don't look that good you know? "

I looked at her, admiring her beautiful brown eyes. I didn't know what to say, I didn't want to lie but at the same time I couldn't just say the truth.

" Really? " I said, trying to know if people could really see that something was off.

She nodded, still staring at me.

I immediately shook my head, trying to act like it wasn't a big deal.

" Just having a bad day you know. "

She looked at me once again.

" Mmh, I don't really believe you but you know what, let's change the subject, because I can see that it makes you uncomfortable " she said, taking a sip of her coffee.

I didn't know why but I started liking her. She was kind and beautiful at the same time, the perfect person.

I realized that I've been staring at her like I did in front of the cafeteria. The thing is that she didn't say anything, she just sat there, watching me too.

I know that some of you may thing that is bullshit but I could swear that I felt a connection between the both of us.

For the rest of the afternoon we talked about different things. What she liked or what I liked, and more.

After finally exiting the cafeteria, I looked at her and it's like she read my mind.

" It was nice talking to you, here, take my number. You know I don't live that far away from your highschool so we could meet sometimes " she said with one of those beautiful smiles.

I took the paper, and felt my hand brushing hers, sending what I could swear was a wave of electricity.

I know that may sound stupid but I could swear that there was something between us, I don't know why.

I placed the paper in my pocket while watching her leave.

Mmh, I think I may have a small crush on her, a 26 year old woman. Once again, older than me of course.
