[Connor's POV]
Okay I may have screwed up my plan..
Entry 2
Connor Murphy
I saw him, him as in the kid who keeps staring at me when I go get coffee. I thought he was following me, so I walked up to him. Here's another prologue, cause I like to do those-

He glances up. For a split second I see panic. He quickly forms a cocky grin to cover it. I already feel infuriated. I was about to slam my hands on his table, but for once I actually think about it. Instead I sat in the seat in front of him. "Hey," answers the guy "I'm the awesome Jared Kleinmen." He holds out his hand. I decided to not take it. I sit there for a few seconds of silence. I stare him in the eyes. I can see the uncomfort in his eyes. I decided I had intimidated him enough. "You're following me, aren't you?" I say to him. It was a demand not a question. He raised an eyebrow. "Don't act like you don't know." "Run by me what I'm doing?" I roll my eyes. "I can feel you staring into my back every morning. At the coffee shop." I glare at him. He thinks for a few moments. "Yeah, I see you at the coffee shop. I guess it's just a coincidence that you and I are both here." I couldn't believe my ears. "You don't see me, you are watching me, and it's not a 'coincidence'! You're stalking me!" I accused in frustration. "That's a serious accusation. I don't even know you. Why would I stalk you anyway?" He ponders. "Cause.." I tried to think of a reason. "I don't know just stop fucking following me, freak!" I storm out of the area.

I hope you liked that little thing I did. I'm a be very excellent writer I know.
I wonder why he keeps staring at me. There are plenty of other people, why me? I only wear black so other than the fact that I look like an armed robber and am intimidating as fuck, I'm not really noticeable.
He could just be really weird and like to weird people out. I don't even know I'm so interested in this. He seems really wimpy. I could easily take him out in a fight. Im gonna try and confront him later. Maybe next Monday. He isn't here Friday's through Sunday's.
How should I go about this? Walk in, order my drink and try and seem intimidating? No, I should just try and strike conversation.
Okay that's my plan! Strike conversation Monday. It'll be casual.

[Jared POV]
Well that certainly wasn't expected. Okay so like, Connor. He came up to me. I got so fucking scared, but tried not to show it in the outside. I introduced myself. He just fucking STARED at me!! That shit was scary!
   Anyways, He assumed I was stalking him. I'm not technically stalking him. The only thing I do stalking wise, is stay a little longer than it takes to drink coffee at starbucks.
There goes my dream of being with him.. It wouldn't have happened anyways. Is this whole diary thing just gonna be me beating myself up? That wouldn't be very funny.
I'm gonna go do something else now.. Bye.

   Hi Ive recovered from my pity party. It's the next morning and I'm at the coffee shop. I almost didn't come, but it's a matter of pride for me. No I'm not talking about gay pride but the type you metaphorically wear out on your chest.
   I sit at my usual table and act like nothing's happened. I stay on my computer and drink my coffee per usual. I keep glancing at the door to see when Connor would get here. I wonder how he'll react to seeing me here.
   I hear someone tap on my table. I look up. It's Connor. When we made eye contact, I felt my life flash before my eyes. He broke eye contact a second later. He bit his lip and took something out of his pocket. He sat it down and walked away. I picked it up.

'sorry about yesterday i wasnt thinking straight i just find it a little weird that you stare at me. if you can please stop (i'm sure u can tho)
Connor-'

I didn't know what to say about the staring. Oh my god i'm so embarrassed. I decided to text Evan.

Jar head: okay evan. serious talk time
Acorn: Yes?
Jar head: i dug myself into a hole
i saw a cute guy at the cafe
cause i go there everyday
ive found myself staring at him
he noticed
he saw me at the library and thot i was stalking him
i denied it
it was a coincidence
he got mad
i decided to go the cafe today
i know how daring of me
he gave me a price of paper
its basically apologizing for what happened and say he found it weird that i stare at him and asked me to stop.
what do i do?!?!
Acorn: Are you going to actually take my advice?
Jar head: idkkk
Acorn: I'd say, apologize. If he asks why you've been staring,tell him the truth.
Jar head: but evvvv
i dont wannaaaaa
Acorn: It's the adult thing to do, Jared. Either take my advice or don't.
Jar head: >:(
Evan: 🙂

[Connor's POV]
My therapist said to give a note to him, so I'm going to. Bye
Entry 3
Connor Murphy
   I gave him the note. I feel pretty.. relieved? I think that's what I'm feeling.
   I don't know what his reaction was because I fled out of their as soon as I could. I got my drink and left.
   I think that's all the writing I'm gonna do today. I have writer's block at the moment. I'll most likely comeback later and scream about what happens next at the coffee shop. Uh peace out?

1,000 words each chapter?? Heck yeah 💅🏻
My posting schedule is now gonna *try* and be every two weeks? I'm about a week late sorry 🤣 Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go do my Romeo and Juliet packet. Wish me luck 🕺🏻
