"Don't tempt me, Rose! You don't know what I am capable of", Tyler whispered in my ear.
He had me pinned against against the wall and I had nowhere to run.

I loved going to Weathervane, the aroma of the coffee, the warm and welcoming smile of the owner, Sophie, a sweet lady who happened to be a friend of Dad and the cozy vibe the Café exuded somehow made everything better. On days when dad and I were struggling, trying to build new memories with the twins and finding it difficult to live in a world without mom, we came to the Weathervane.
Dad and I had made a pact of no shoptalk while at the Weathervane. I updated him on how school was going and we discussed the latest happenings of the football season.
I remember that day, going in with a box of cupcakes in my hand. Sophie had agreed to let me sell my cupcakes at the Café just a few days ago. I rang a bell at the counter, since there was no one in sight.
That's when I saw him. This gorgeous looking boy with hair that was begging to be touched and messed. A boyish smile and eyes that said the person could do no wrong in the world.
"Hi, how can I help you?", he said.
"Hey, I am Rose. Sophie asked me to drop in cupcakes with someone named Tyler."
"That would be me."
I handed him the package, feeling elated at the prospect of people purchasing my cupcakes. It could be a huge step for me when I would open my own quaint bakery one day.
"Do you go to Nevermore or are you a normie?"
"Oh, a normie. I go to Crestview High."
Our conversation was interrupted when I saw Sophie approach us. "Rose, I see you have met Tyler, my best barista. Thanks for dropping the cupcakes dear."
"Hey Sophie, dad said thanks for the Shepherd's pie. It was delicious." Sophie smiled in response.
I turned to Tyler, eager for one more look of him.
"Bye Tyler!"
"Bye Rose, it was nice meeting you", he said with a soft smile.
It's shocking, how little we know about someone and how wrong first impressions can be.
