Chapter Two

Carrying the plates over to them and sitting them on the table I stepped back, all four sets of eyes were directly on me and I had never felt more self-conscious than I did right now.

"Was there anything else?" I asked blushing slightly, I was never good with attention like this.

"Can we get drinks?" One of his friends asked me and I yet again wanted to smack myself, how could I be so stupid and forget to ask about drinks.

I nodded "Sorry, what would you like to drink?"

"Are you always this polite?" One of the others asked me.

I frowned "Would you prefer me to be rude?" I asked giving him a questioning look.

He laughed "No, it's just aren't girls your age all snotty nose cows, I have no idea how Noah deals with them constantly"

I just stared at him then looked at Mr Wade, he must be talking about the girls who brag about how much sex they got on the weekends "Just because some girls are like that, doesn't mean all girls are, Now if your done holding me up, can you tell me what you would like to drink?"

"Mia, just four Iced Coffees are fine" Mr Wade spoke up and kept his eyes on his friend.

"You'll get a stitch when you run tonight" I spoke before I could stop myself.

"How do you know we're going for a run?" Mr Wade asked me with a smirk over his face.

I shook my head, backing away and bumping into the table behind me "I need to go and make the drinks"

I left pretty instantly after that, how the hell could I have said that, now he will know that I know about his football training twice a week, god could I have been any more stupid or embarrassing, I wanted to curl up and hide behind the counter until they left.

The worst part was I still had to take the coffee's over to them, they had all burst out laughing as soon as I left and that was the kick in the gut I needed, I was more than embarrassed as it was, I mean sure he tells the class he plays but I never act like I care, I never pay attention to that talk, well, ok I do.

I just hide it well.

I went back to that table of four and no one was speaking, their pies were gone so I picked up the plates and quickly walked away, before they could talk or before I humiliated myself even more.

I can’t believe I had embarrassed myself that badly.

Mrs Dalton came out and looked over at the boys who were laughing and chatting away, It was almost twenty minutes past my knock off time and she shooed me off "Go home sweetheart, we don't want you getting lost in the darkness" She spoke, but her voice was slightly louder and my eyes widened at what she was doing.

"I'm fine" I spoke back confidently.

"I hear you young lads like those pies, I hope you thanked the young girl that makes them, young Mia is a wonderful cook" She spoke up looking directly at them.
