     "Alexis, you go. I don't want to be here. I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble. You enjoy your boy band. Meet me once the concert's over," Brittany said. Her best friend, Alexis, got tickets to see IM5 in the mall, and Brittany was not going to enjoy listening to some talentless group of boys she had never ever heard.

     "Are you sure? Cole would love to meet you," Alexis persisted. Brittany rolled her eyes.

     "I don't think so. You have fun. I'll go get a Starbucks frappuccino and I'll read a book. You enjoy your thing, I'll enjoy mine."

     "Okay... If you want to come later that's good. See you after the concert," Alexis said, trying to conceal the excitement she was feeling about getting to meet IM5.

     Brittany walked into Starbucks and ordered her drink. While walking out, a teenage boy with brown hair ran into her.

     "Are you kidding me?" she said, irritated. The boy looked extremely sorry.

     "I'm so sorry. I-I wasn't looking. I'd buy you a new one, but I-I really have to go. Sorry!" he said, running off.

     Brittany sighed. At least he was kinda cute, she thought. Now frappuccino-less, she walked into the bookstore and into the teen section. She pulled out a copy of The Book Thief, which she was already halfway through.

     By the time she had finished, almost three hours had passed. I'd better go meet Alexis, Brittany thought. She stood up and slid the book back into place on the shelf. When she turned around, she walked directly into someone- the boy from Starbucks.

     "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. I-I... I'm really sorry," she stuttered. He smiled.

     "Is this the only way we're going to meet- by bumping into each other?" he asked, teasingly.

     "I guess so," Brittany laughed, blushing slightly. The guy extended his hand.

     "I'm Cole, by the way," he introduced himself.

     "By any chance, are you in a band- Take 5, or something?" she asked, recognizing the name.

     "IM5, but yea. Why?"

     "My friend was just at your concert. She mentioned you," Brittany explained. Cole nodded.

     "Cool. Now, I still haven't gotten your name....?"

     "Oh! Brittany! It's-it's Brittany," she said. He picked up her hand and kissed it gently.

     "Well, Brittany, would you be interested in a date, by any chance?"

     "I-I would, I, uh.... yes. That sounds great," she said, nervously

     He took out a pen and a piece of paper. "I'll pick you up tomorrow at six? I wrote my number on that so you can text me later, okay?"

     "See you then."
