Strange Candy {H.S. Fan-fiction}

Chapter 2

As I recovered from that awkward moment I went into the cafe and went straight to the line. When i first entered the cafe, no one seemed to know who I was and I was not complaining about that, that means I can be myself in here and I can bring Leslie in here and get..nvm, her plus caffeine is not a good mix. I got up too the line without making everything obvious that I have never been here in my life and overthinking about little things. I finally made it to the front of the line about 4 minutes after I came in to the small cafe, ¨Hello! Welcome to Stardust cafe how may I help you today?¨ the barista behind the counter asked in a pitchy tone that made my ears ring and grip on my sweater sleeves tighten in annoyance. 

¨Um..hi¨ I have never been here before, what am I supposed to say, I ask myself zoning out in the process forgetting their was a line of people behind me, ¨um, what is good here..this is my first time here?¨ I said to the barista and she nodded and pointed to the menu and started naming things and what's in them, and before I know it the barista is talking to so I zone back in, ¨so, what would you like to get?¨ she asked ¨I would like to try the third thing on the menu, the Molan-¨ I was cut off quickly ¨the canola chocolate supreme? Right on it, please have a seat at table 9 and your order will be right with you.¨

I silently thank her for her service and walked around trying to find table 9, I finally found it after about 2 minutes searching for it. After sitting down getting on my phone and scrolled through Instagram liking all of Harry styles' posts about him being on tour and his family's posts. Then after I was done with Instagram, I went on to snap-chat and ignored everyone's streaks that everyone sent to me, I don't do them there's no point to them, an as I looked at my friends

having fun at restaurants and Kings Island, as I put my phone down one of the baristas yelled out my order and I got up to go and get it when I almost tripped but I caught myself extremely quick, and I scurried to go get my drink and walked out after I had paid and walked next door to the bakery and couldn't help but feel like I was being watched, ironic I know, but every time I turned around their was no one there.

But this time there was someone there walking with a black pullover and black sweats the person was hiding in the shadows of the alleyways and buildings while the street lights were turning on and I could barely see the person walking slowly towards me, so I started walking faster down the sidewalk and into the bakery where I finally felt a rush of relief flood through me and I finally let out a breath of relief. After I reopened my eyes and I noticed that everyone was staring at me.

~Oh shit shit shit, what am I supposed to say to these people; Hi I was just gonna come in here anyway but i saw a person walking and I thought they were chasing me so I ran in here, no then they would think im a fucking weirdo.~ ¨Um..im sorry for the disturbance...i'll just t-take a seat over h-here.¨ I said while walking to a booth where there was a menu I could stick my head into to hide my embarrassed blush. ¨ Hi what would you like today Miss?¨ a lady with a distinguished bright blue hair and tattoos some tiny piercings on her ears that you'd miss if you weren't careful to actually look, ¨oh hello, I would like a small thing of chocolate chip cookies and some tea...am I allowed to choose how many cookies I get?¨ I asked a slight tint of pink forming on my cheeks ¨Yes you may how many would you like?¨ she asked ¨I would like 14 cookies please and that is to go, Thank you.¨ She was about to walk away when I called her back, probably too fast because she almost fell and had too grab the table for support, ¨I am so so sorry I didn't mean to-¨ she cut me off with a roll of her eyes and a what-the-fuck-did-you-just-touch-me-look then she just stood there waiting for my answer ¨ I was gonna ask can I get some tea as well?..¨ I asked shyly and highly embarrassed because what I had just done.
