We're in a coffee shop. I'm ordering my drink and you walk in and no I don't immediately turn around because I'm still ordering my drink and I finish ordering and I turn around looking down at the ground trying to avoid eye contact with people and I run smack dab into you. I hadn't heard you come up behind me and without looking up I started saying sorry and rambling about how sorry I am. You say it's okay and I look up and we make eye contact immediately and I can't seem to look away. I finally manage to look away and I walk to get my drink and sit down at a table and open my laptop. A few moments later you walk up to my table and ask if the seat across from me is taken and I politely say no and you sit down. We have a small conversation and you ask me what I'm doing and I say research for a school project. You reach across the table and turn my laptop around and I see the look on your face and I realize the look on your face is a look I've seen before and then it hits me we have the same classes and I blurt out I knew you were familiar. You said, "I forgot we had to come up with a research paper due on Monday can you help me with mine?". I said, "Sure." He got up and said, " See you later." Before you left you typed something on to my laptop and then walked out of the coffee shop. When I turned the laptop back around this is what he wrote: this is my number text me when you are ready to help me with my paper... (623)-674-3724.

Later that day I texted him and we texted for a while and it felt great to be talking to someone.

Me: Hey I never officially got your name because we never really talk to each other a lot in class.

Him: Oh I thought you knew it's Logan Thompson. What's your name?

Me: Oh I thought you knew, it's Amelia.

Logan: It's good to put a name to such a beautiful face.

Me: Where and when would you like to meet to do your research paper?

Logan: Let's meet at my house in 2 hours. We have only a day and a half to get this paper written.

Me: Okay. Just give me your address and I'll be there.

Logan: 16745 West Bermingham Drive

Me: Okay be there in 2 hours.

Logan: See you then.

2 Hours later...

Me: Hey I'm 2 minutes away

Logan: Okay it will just be me and you in the house because my mom is working late tonight and I don't go to my dad's house till tomorrow.

Me: Oh okay I'm here.

Logan: Okay.

I knock on the door and you open the door and I look at your face and you have this big grin on your face like it's Christmas morning and your parents got you a puppy. I laugh and you ask, "Why are you laughing?" and I say, " Because of the grin you have on your face right now but it's super cute." I cover my mouth and then he laughs. He says, " Don't get too ahead of yourself." I giggle and realize I like Logan. He invites me in and that's when I realize that I left my stuff in the car and so I turn around to walk right out of the house and I get that feeling that he is staring at me and then grab my stuff and turn around and walk right back into the house. So we went to the kitchen and got a snack by the time we actually got started researching. I had been there for half an hour. He had no idea what he was supposed to research so we researched how music affected the brain. A few hours had passed and we got a lot done and I got a text from my mom saying I needed to come home soon and since I didn't really have a curfew even though I was a sophomore in highschool I knew i needed to leave soon so i got up and he pulled me down and asked where i was going and I told him I had to leave and he got up helped me out of my chair and we just stood there just like we were earlier at the coffee shop. Then he broke eye contact first and he had this sad longing pouty face and that made me laugh but even that was enough to make me want to stay but I knew that if i didn't leave now I would never make it home in time for dinner. So he walked me to the door and said for me to text him when I got home. I got home and texted him straight away.

Me: Hey, I got home safe and sound.

Logan: That's good thanks for all the help today.

Me: No problem anytime

Logan: Can you come over tomorrow?

Me: Do you need help with something else?

Logan: No, I just wanna spend more time with you.

Me: I'm free at 10 am if that's good with you?

Logan: Yeah that perfect let me give you my dad's address.

Me: Oh I forgot that you're with your dad tomorrow.

Logan: yeah his address is 12563 North Hemmingway Drive.

Me: That's 4 houses down from where I live.

Logan: Oh that's cool.

Me: Well I have to go eat text you when I'm done.

Logan: Okay sounds good.

20 Minutes Later...

Me: Hey

Logan: How was dinner?

Me: Good.

Logan: That's good.

Me: Goodnight

Logan: Goodnight. By the way you are so cute when you speak what's on your mind.

Me: Thanks?

Logan: Yes that was a complement.

Me: Oh okay. Goodnight I had lots of fun today.

Logan: Goodnight. That's good.
