Brook's P.O.V
I walk into the small bakery on campus that I've started going to every morning before classes, I get the same thing every time. A caramel latte with a vanilla and strawberry macaroon, and the same person is always there. A blonde with blue eyes who has an Irish accent and who's very sweet and polite and he knows my order right away.
"Hello." He greets me as the bell rings over the door while I walk in. There's never much people there so I wasn't the center of attention which I would have hated.
"Hello." I smile and wave as he hands me my order already prepared. I pay, say 'thank you' and walk out the same door.
It's basically like that every morning. Then since today is Thursday I don't have any class.
I walk down the brick sidewalk and follow until I reach the little park right off campus. I sit on the bench and pull out "How to kill a mockingbird". After I've been reading for 15 minutes I feel a shadow overlooking me. I feel weight on the left side of the bench where I'm not seated.
"That's a really good book. Only book I've ever read." I jump a little at the Irish accent. "Sorry didn't mean to make you jump." He apologises.
I look over, my sunglasses cover the view he has of my eyes, but through them I'm looking at his. "I-it's fine." My cheeks warm up and I feel the tint of pink crawl up my cheeks. No wonder I had no friends, every time anyone talked to me I would get like this.
"You just come to the bakery a lot so I wanted to introduce myself, I'm Niall." He reaches his hand out.
"I'm Brook." I take his hand into my shaky sweaty palm.
"Nice to meet you." I'm hoping he'll just walk away and that'd be it but he stays. "What are you majoring in?" He questions me and I pray this is the only one.
"Uh...uh I'm, I just w-want to be in the medical field. What about you?" Oh stupid stupid Brook this is called a conversation, you didn't want this! I mentally slap my forehead.
"Culinary I guess. That's very cool, you must be very smart." He looks at me. "I have to run I'm sorry but finish reading and I'll see you tomorrow right?" He smiles.
"Thank you and yes you will." My face seems to cool down as I smile back and the bench is empty yet again.
**********************
Sorry for all the short chapters they'll definitely get longer. I decided to have them meet right now because it's right before the half year mark and I couldn't wait, but don't worry I won't rush things. Enjoy!!
Love you all
