I sat in a booth, taking a small sip out of my coffee.
The hotness hit right away as I set the cup down.
I looked around the coffee shop, watching as people waited in line for coffee.
It was pretty busy for 7 am, but I guess this is when everyone headed to work.
I took another sip and took out my phone.
7:04. I had to be at work by 7:25.
I shoved my phone in my pocket and continued drinking my coffee.
After a little while, a boy who looked my age came over to my booth.
"Hi. Can I sit here?" He asked, smiling.
I looked around the shop. There were plenty more seats in here...
But being the kind person I am, I said sure.
He sat in the booth across from me and took a sip out of his coffee.
This wasn't awkward at all...
The guy swallowed his coffee and then spoke, "I'm sorry to just barge in like this, I'm Lucas."
"I'm Maya."
Lucas set his coffee cup down, "someone was supposed to meet me here but they never showed up.."
I saw that he looked disappointed and felt a little bad. "Oh I'm sorry."
Lucas shrugged, "he never does anyway."
I looked down at my lap, not knowing what else to say.
I looked back at my phone and saw that it it was 7:15.
I stood up from the booth. "Sorry I have to go."
Lucas stood up also. "Me too. I have to work at the--"
"McDonald's down the street." We said at the same time.
"Wait.. You work there?" I said, confused.
Lucas didn't say anything, just smiling at me.
I smiled slightly. "What is it?"
"You're Maya Hart. I've seen you around work." He said.
I blushed at the way he said my name. "How'd you remember me?"
Lucas shrugged. "I never forget a pretty girl's face."
