"Ugh, you're so frustrating! Who do you think you are, man? You're really starting to piss me off!" I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. What am I doing? I do not like confrontation. Why would I verbally challenge him? I don't know what's come over me, I never lash out like this. Nathaniel Lincoln is bad for me, bad for my mental health, bad for my physical health, and just bad. Period. "You've been monstrous to me ever since that day when YOU bumped into ME! And now, you want me to come sit next to you? You didn't even ask, you just commanded me. That makes zero sense! I mean seriously, you've never even smiled at me, why the sudden desire to have me next to you?" At this point, I'm out of breath. Good. Maybe now you will shut up before he shuts you up. For eternity. Death, Jas, literal death. This is the first outburst I've ever had. And I mean EVER. I'm always calm. I just can't deal with him today, I'm so stressed and I'm tired and I don't have the will to put up with his torment. Lord knows he only wants me over there to mess with me. I take a moment to study Nathaniel's face, he still hasn't responded to my little rant. He's just staring at me, his face completely expressionless. I don't think I've ever seen someone with such a placid face. And then he speaks. And I'm shaken. "I don't smile," he deadpans, "and I need to send a message. The only way to do that is if you sit next to me. So. Let's go." And I go. I follow Nathaniel right to his table. ... Jasmine Montgomery. Quiet, passive, and vehemently against confrontation. Nathaniel Lincoln. Angry, dark, aggressive, and lives for the times when someone crosses him. As fate would have it, the polar opposites collide. Literally. He practically runs her over.

Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
