Jack parks the car on the Cafe he and his sister's were supposed to meet up with Zach.
To say he was nervous an understatement, yet the didn't quite know why he was like that. He's just meeting a man that possibly saved them from bankruptcy.
They casually get inside and see Zach on his phone, presumably texting.
The siblings sit down on his booth after greeting him.
"How's your leg sweetheart?"
"It's better, thanks for asking." The girl smiles.
"Did you order anything?"
"No, I was waiting for you guy-"
"Good afternoon, what can I get ya?"
The siblings all order.
"Black iced coffee and...what's your lowest caloric pastry?"
"We have a vegan donut."
"Sure, it can be that."
"Are you okay? You're really pale."
"I barely had any sleep last night-" He yawns. "...sorry, because I have insomnia and I barely ate anything today-"
"That's really bad for you, you need to eat." Jack says worriedly.
"I know..." He sighs.
"How old were you when you started ballet?"
"I started when I was four, but please let's not talk about me, I want to have a normal conversation with you guys."
"Okay...what's your favorite color?" Isla asks excitedly.
"It has to be black, you guys'?"
"Pink!" The girl smiles.
"Blue."Ava grins.
"I'm a solid yellow." Sydnie mutters.
"Black." Jack smiles softly.
"Excuse me..." They all look up to see a girl, not a day over seventeen.
"I know this may sound a little bit straight forward but...you're really cute... could you perhaps give me your snapchat ?"
"Me?" Jack asks confused. The girl nods.
"I'm...gay...but thanks." Zach was shocked.
How can he just say it and roll out of his tongue so easily? How can he just be so proud about it?
"I'm so sorry..." She turns to Zach.
"Are you seriously being that person?" Ava rolls her eyes.
"Not anymore." She walks back into her seat.
"Here are you orders, enjoy!"
They all thank the woman.
Zach picks up his cup and sees a phone number written on it.
He turns his cup around.
"Not interested?" Jack points to the phone number.
"Not really my type." He takes a sip.
***
They were talking animatedly and Zach was slowly getting out of his shell, when his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Zach! Where are you? The play is in two hours!"
"I'll be there in ten." He sighs and hangs up.
