I wake up to the annoying infamous sound of an alarm clock. Looking at the blinding red numbers showing on the clock, 6:00. I rub the sleepiness out of my eyes with my hands, taking note that I should paint them later on.

I drag myself off the awfully comfortable bed and into the bathroom. I peel off my Spiderman pj pants and tank top after turning on my warm morning shower. When my mirror in my tan walled bathroom starts to fog up I make my way to the shower and let the steaming hot water make its way down my body, awakening my soar muscles from last night's run.

I wash my body with my rose body wash with those little colourful beads and wash my face with a acne resistant soap.

Then massaging my rose shampoo and conditioner into my dark brown hair heaving a sigh, it's too early.

After drying my body with a now damp fuzzy maroon towel I put on my clothes which consist of;

jeans, black flats and a 'coffee bean café' t-shirt.

I blow dry my hair and straighten it a little bit so I don't scare away the customers with my frizzy hair.

I decide on eggs and sausage for breakfast whipping up some eggs and frying them on a pan with butter and heating up some "Jimmy dean's fully cooked sausage" in the microwave.

After I scarf down my surprisingly delicious food I put on some makeup but keep it simple and make my way to work.

Conveniently the café is close and traffic isn't terrible so I make it on the dot 7:30. Opening hour.

I open the doors with my silver key and plug in the cord to the dusty 'OPEN' sign.

I take all the chairs and put them in their exact spot, sweeping the floors and rolling up silverware occasionally helping some customers.

In the middle of making a pumpkin spice latté for a woman with her child, the child rambles, "Mom I NEED those one direction tickets! Harry Styles is just so gorgeous!" She wails shaking her mother.

Harry Styles, when I heard her say that I flinched.

"NEVER FORGET!" My conscience mocks me. Ugh.

I was best friends with him, inseparable.

Until I suggested to him he go on the X-factor.

I was in the back with his mother watching him.

One day I was his best friend.

The next, a stranger.

I handed the lady her pumpkin spice.

"Have a great Day." I tell her but her face is too far into her brightly lit IPhone 6, she doesn't answer.

"stupid ungrateful people." I mutter under my breath while measuring coffee beans by ounces.

"what was that?" I hear a voice say, Irish.

I turn around.

"oh sorry, not to you, I, never mind."I stutter.

"Hi welcome to Coffee Bean Café what would you like today?" I ask taking in his appearance, jeans, t-shirt, white high tops, straight teeth and blonde, dyed, and blue eyed.

"iced vanilla coffee. And a Chocolate chip muffin."

"Okay, would you like your chocolate muffin heated up?"  I ask while preparing his ice  coffee.

"Sure."

I finish up his iced vanilla coffee.

"if you would like any creamer and sugar their is a table over their with everything you might want." I say motioning to the table to my right.

I finish heating up the muffin and hand it to him, the smell making my stomach quench with hunger, I eat alot.

"That will be 5.67." I tell the man with no name.

He pulls out a ten and hands it to me.

"Keep the change." He says grabbing the heavenly muffin and coffee giving me a smile.

"Thank you,...." I hold on signaling for his name.

"Niall." He says and disappears out of the restaurant.

Soon enough my shift is over and I head home leaving James to handle the store.
