It's Friday and 6.30 in the morning when my alarm goes off. Trish is still asleep and Leah is lying half on top of her. I try to be as quiet as possible. I gather the things I need to get ready and walk to the bathrooms to get ready for the day. I'm always quite early so there is never really anyone in the bathroom. When I'm back in my room I change into some jeans and a pink blouse. I pack my bag and put on my white Allstars and denim jacket. I take my phone from the charger before leaving. I close the door behind me and walk to the coffee house where I'm meeting Logan for our morning coffee. It's 8.30 and the class starts at 9.15, so we have enough time to catch up. I see logan sitting on the couch reading a book. "Hey, morning," I say with a smile. "Morning, If you don't mind. I already ordered our coffee. A double espresso late for madam." He says while handing me the cup. "Thanks, how are you?" I ask him after I take a sip. "Well, actually great Nate is coming over this weekend. I can't wait to finally see him." He says with a huge smile on his face. He seems excited about his boyfriend coming to stay for the weekend. I really want to meet him since he makes Logan so happy. "That's great. I can't wait to meet him." I say "Yeah, you will meet him soon. I have planned things to do this weekend, but definitely next time I promise you." He says with joy in his eyes. "Yes, you better. I want to meet this boy, cause I need to make sure he's okay." I joke, Logan laughs and then says "Yeah, trust me he is fine. How was dinner with your mom yesterday?"  "Great actually. I got my hair cut." I say. "Yeah, I see. It looks great on you. I love the bangs." He says while touching my hair. "Thanks, I like it too. My mother didn't at first, but when it was done I believe even she did like it a little. But of course, she didn't tell me." I say and drink my coffee. "At least she didn't disagree," he says. "Yeah, you're right this is positive," I say while checking the time on my phone. "We have to go." I say to Logan and stand up. Logan and I walk to our first class together. The morning goes by fast I'm already on my break and have three classes left for today. I walk to the coffee house for lunch. I take a look at the fresh sandwiches while waiting in the line I have and decided to take the tuna sandwich and a latte. Just when it's my turn, this asshole comes in and orders before I can. I feel I'm getting angry and push the guy aside and say "Hey, you can't just push forward I was first."  "You just saw it, so I can and I will." the guy says and I immediately recognize his British accent and the angel tattoo on his wrist. It's Justin and I'm going crazy in my head. Who does he think he is. I feel my anger and irritation getting worse. He turns around to face me. I growl at him then say "You cannot just push forward like you're the only one in the world." He smirks and says "Well, in my world there's just me." He looks at the cashier woman and tells her he'll pay for my order. I look at him annoyed and offended. I don't need his money or him caring for me. "I don't need your money I can pay for my own order. Thank you." I say while walking past him. He smiles at the cashier woman who is now blushing only because he smiled at her. The cashier woman asks what I want, I tell her "I'll have a double espresso latte and a tuna sandwich." Then Justin tells her "She'd rather have an Italian grilled cheese sandwich." I look angry at him and I can strangle him right now. Who does he think he is to control what I eat. He laughs and then says "Listen the tuna sandwiches here are really bad. They taste like rotten eggs with fish fingers and that is no joy. Trust me it's for the best." He is right I do want to keep enjoying eating tuna, cause I actually love tuna. But I am angry about him changing my order and pushing forward and him being a rude asshole. I am shocked by my choice of words, but he deserves it. Although I would never say them out loud.  "Well......... That doesn't give you the right to change my order without asking me." I say angry while he pays for our order.  When the cashier woman yells his name. I quickly grab it and try to walk away without thanking him. He doesn't deserve my thank you or smile. He quickly grabs my arm and says "You could at least thank me." And again my body is  instantly on fire of his touch "Well, thank you." I say sarcastically and try to walk away. "I still didn't get your name." He says smirking. "No, you don't. You have to urn it." I say angry and pull away from him. Justin looks surprised by my action, but I am not giving him my name. He is annoying and rude. I walk away irritated. Thinking about the way my body reacts when he touches me and how he can be so rude and then think it's funny. He irritates me more than anyone ever had. I walk to the park where I can eat my lunch. When I'm almost there I feel a hand on my back. I quickly turn around to see it's Justin again. What is with this boy is he following me or something. He smiles and bites his bottom lip while checking me out. How can he be so rudderless doing this in front of me "I still don't know your name? O come on just tell me already." He bags. I look at him and ask myself why I'm even talking to him while he was so rude to me a second ago.  Now he is nice again, it confuses me. "Okay fine I'll tell you, but will you please leave me alone if I tell you?." I say. He smiles "Well, I'll try " "Are you happy now?" I say sarcastically. "Yes, I am. Where were you going?" He asks with a smile. "Why should I tell you." I say annoyed. "Now don't be like that." He says with a grin. "Don't be like what?"I snap at him. "Okay, Okay easy I thought this was going to be nice." He says and laughs. "I was going to eat my lunch in the park." I say to him while walking to the park. "Uhm, the park is that way." He points and laughs harder. I growl at him and walk away. "Wait wait wait up. You didn't tell me your name." He says while following me. "Well, I shouldn't be talking to strangers." I say. Justin laughs and again grabs my arm. Which makes me turn around to face him. My face inches from his. "Okay, fine then we will get to know each other first. You can start by telling me your name." He says with a smile. He is standing so close to me I can smell his minty breath. I giggle at him "You're funny and my name is Rachel." "Well Rachel, should we have lunch together?" he says and starts walking to the park. I giggle at him and follow him to the park. He seems to be in a better mood than earlier today. "This still doesn't mean you're not a stranger to me. I still don't know you." I say to him while walking into the park. "I didn't say you did or did I," He says with a frown on his face. He looks at me while I try to climb on the picnic table. The table is a little bit high for me or I'm just small. After a few seconds of letting me struggle, he helps me by literally lifting me onto the table. He sits down next to me and just when I want to take a bite of my sandwich he does it for me and takes a big bite. I  look at him irritated and punch him on the shoulder. He laughs and says "What I paid for it and it tastes good." "Hey, no stop I am hungry. Why did you do that?" I say  pounding and he laughs at me then says "Stop pounding I'll take you out to a real lunch some time and I promise I won't eat your food." I can't help but laugh with him. I am not sure what to say  I have a boyfriend and it seems wrong to go to lunch with him. I probably shouldn't even hang out with him, but he's nice. Maybe he just wants to be friends. I actually don't know, because I have no experience with boys or friends. I only have Eliot who is my boyfriend and my best friend. "I  can't. I'm sorry I have a boyfriend." I say. His beautiful green eyes are turning into a black haze. His smile is has turned into a strict line. I'm beginning to think I might have said something wrong. He looks angry and maybe even a little sad. I'm afraid for him to open his mouth and say something hurtful. I take a sip of my coffee waiting for the storm to come. "What were you thinking Rachel? You thought I was asking you on a date huh?" he yells at me. I feel so stupid why did I have to say that. He is so mad and irritated with me. "Uhm no I just... I didn't mean it like that. I was just telling you. I'm sorry. I thought maybe you were. I don't know what I thought I'm sorry." I yell back. Everyone is watching us and I try so hard not to cry and let him see he hurts me. But I won't he can't know he has this power over my emotions. "Well, you thought wrong, Rachel." he screams and I can see the sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Well, maybe I did your a dick." I scream at him and grab my things and run away from him.
