A witty comment thread under a mutual friend's Instagram post draws two strangers into a conversation. They don't use profile pictures, and their usernames are ambiguous(@metaphorandchai and @citylinesblurred) . Neither knows who the other really is.
At first, he thinks she's just another interesting stranger.
She assumes he's just someone passing through her feed.
Neither of them is prepared for the way their words start lingering.

SCHIZOPHRENIA
I posted it, captioning it as though it was a gift from my boyfriend. "#Thank_you_my_bf😘" I typed quickly and uploaded the picture to Instagram after I snapped a photo of my coffee and "I wish I have a boyfriend" I thought to myself. I couldn't help it. I was always a little jealous of my friends, especially whenever we'd hang out. They'd always talk about their love lives, and it felt like I was the only one without a story to share. But just a few moments later, my thoughts began to shift. "𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵... 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘺", I thought, feeling a little embarrassed. "𝘪 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘵" I said laughing to myself.

Perfect Strangers
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 RESERVEDComplete

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
