Secret Starbucks Santa |Book 1|

Half British

I woke up with my alarm on a cold December morning. I couldn't wait for the holidays to come, even if I had to have Patrick here.

I went in for my shower, then dressed into my Hollister skinnies,Topshop's sweater top and a jacket. A beanie for my head, light winter make up and a pair of converse. I took my bag and headed downstairs.

I was about to step out of the house when I heard Patrick from behind 'Morning babe' he greeted, I turned around..I reached only his chest. I looked up to his face and told 'I'm not your babe' 'Atleast greet me?' he told 'Fine, Good Morning..Now I must go' I said and left the house.

I walked into Starbucks and waited for my coffee 'You look pissed, is everything alright?' Susy asked me 'Nothing, I'm fine..I just can't wait for the holidays' I said 'Well it's just round the corner' she told me and handed me my coffee. I thanked her and then left the shop and walked towards my school.

I got in to the school, climbed up the stairs to my hallway and walked to my locker, opened it and put in my extra books inside, closed it and turned around to see my girls standing there 'Hey guys!' I greeted them 'When were you going to tell us?' Bree asked me 'About what?' I asked

'About someone's arrival at the Hudsons?' Darcy spoke

'You told them! I was going to tell them over lunch' I told her

'Well needn't worry, twitter spoke faster' Tammy said, showing me her phone

'Look, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you guys about him coming but he's come a week early!' I told them and walked away towards the class 'Well you should have at least told me!' Shelly told me as she stopped me

'Why? Just so that you are home when he comes? Shelly get a hang of yourself, you just broke up!' I told her 'I've always liked him' she told me. I sighed at what she told me, I stopped and looked her in the eye and told her

'I do not want my best friend to be his Seasonal girlfriend' 'Seasonal girlfriend?' Tammy asked 'Why do you think he's only behind me for winters? He's that type of a guy to have four to five girls to satisfy him for that Season, I don't want you to be one' I told them

'But I won't be like that' Shelly told me 

'You telling that to a person who knows him?' I asked

Just then the bell rang, I looked at my watch. I had English for the first hour 'Look, can we talk about this at lunch?' I asked, they nodded and I walked towards my english class.

I went and sat down on my seat, placed my head on the desk wondering how I was to handle Patrick living in the house longer than I thought 'You look lost, Morning' I was brought back reality with Jamie's voice 

'Morning' I replied 'You okay?' he asked 'Yeah, why?' I asked 'You looked lost' 'Oh, that......I was just thinking about the holidays' I told him and pulled my book out and placed it on the desk, he placed his hand on my arm 'By being worried about it?' he asked, I looked at his hand. He moved it quickly, 'Sorry about that' he told me 'It's okay...well it's actually nothing' I told him as I opened to Macbeth 'You sure?' he asked again 'better than Macbeth' I replied with a small laugh...he laughed too

Ms. Montgembry entered the class and started teaching Macbeth...all that went through my mind was Jamie and his adorable laugh. 

Why wasn't I born without guts?

'He held your hand!' Shelly exclaimed 'Arm' I corrected her 

'He touched you!' Shelly exclaimed again 

'Its just like how I touch Nathan when he's upset' I told and took my helping of Mashed Potato 'Case is different here...Nathan, is your Best Friend's boyfriend and here.....he's your crush' Tammy told, showing me two hands to show the cases
