Cheenie's POV

I'm in Carribean Cafe.

"Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away? I'm a good, good girl who needs a little company Looking high and low, someone let me know Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away?"

I got my earphones on, Hide Away was playing on.

I was staring at the café's door when there was this guy that catched my attention. He's wearing a maroon ASU(Arizona State University) hoodie/jacket.

I stared at him and after a few seconds I didn't noticed we're actually staring at each other.

While I'm staring at his eyes, it was like we're the only person here in the café. Just the two of us.

"For Mam' Persephone" The barista on café shouted.

When I got back to senses, I broke the gazing contest between us.

I go to the counter and get my frappé.

I was taking a back when I get flabbergasted because he's actually standing behind me. That was close! Thank gods, my frappé didn't spilled on him.

Before I could walked to my seat he mumbled something...

"Persephone huh?" he mumbled with a half smile half smirk.

He's so weird! Sometimes his so quite and now he's acting like some smirking douchebag.

Few minutes later he got his frappé and noticed that there's no seats left.

I just really don't understand why people wants to stay on the coffeshop or café just because there's a free wifi and so what ever free chuchu. Eventhough they just ordered one frappé for Pete's sake!

Well, let's just say that there is one left seat, and it was in front of me.

I'm not that rude so...

"Dion!" I called out.

"Yes?" he said looking at his back.
"You can seat here, though" I uttered just enough for him to hear me.

He walked towards my table and seat in front of me.

"Thanks Persephone" he said after seating. That made me irritated. No one calls me Persephone! Kahit si mama tinatawag ako by my nickname! I'm just used on using my real name when it comes on random things like this. Ugh! The nerve of that guy!

*****

There's this awkward silence engulfing us.

Siguro dahil sa incident dun sa Batangas last week. Clumsy ko kasi e.

"What's up?" he suddenly said.

"Wala" I shrugged.

"I know you're up into" Dion said after gulping.

"Wala nga. Nagtatanong ka tapos di ka naniniwala?" I said before I rolled my eyes. Loko kasi nagtatanong tanong tapos di naniniwala!? Ano 'to naglolokohan kami?

"Chill Persephone!" he uttered simply.

"Will you quit calling me Persephone! I'm Cheenie!" I hissed at him.

"I want Persephone. It's better than Cheenie. In fact, I didn't know your real name. Siguro kung di ako nagpunta dito sa coffeeshop di ko pa malalaman" he said. Wow! Nagsasalita naman pala siya ng matino e.

"Bahala ka! Pero in all fairness ha! Nagsasalita ka pala ng matino, bakit di mo gamitin kahit minsan lang?" I said sarcastically.

"Are you that insane? Malamang nagsasalita ako. Hindi naman ako mute or deaf no. I'm nothin' but normal" he said calmly.
