Chapter One:
~Boyfriends, Girlfriends~
I looked around the corner at the Hard Rock Café. I sighed and made the turn. I looked at the cabs and waited for traffic to slow. When it did I used the sidewalk and crossed over to the Café. Walking inside I took off my hat and then my green jacket. That left my Aeropostale grey sweatshirt. I let it on and grabbed my brown apron. I went behind the counter and locked in my pen number. I walked over to Ashley and told her she could go on break. She nodded and took off her apron and pulled out her ponytail. I took the cash register and opened it. I counted the money and wrote it on a heavily worn tablet.
“2 regular coffees.” A man in a pin stripe suit said. I nodded and said, “That’ll be 7.09, sir.” He nodded and paid with a credit card. I handed him the coffee’s, said thank you, and turned on ‘Teenage Dream’. It blared around the shop. My job also contained picking music. Two teenage girls, walked in. They were from my school-but I didn’t know them. One was blonde with dark green eyes and she wore thick red glasses. She was wearing dark washed ripped boyfriend jeans (no, I’m not gay-Fiona taught me). Her hair was slung into a tight twist. The other girl was African American. Her brown hair was in a braid down her back. She was wearing a purple and green tank top, a green key necklace, and her jeans were light washed skinny. They walked up to the counter as Teenage Dream went off. I leaned down and turned on Pray for you, the country version. The girl walked up her green eyes sparkling.
“Can I get a peach strawberry smoothie?” she asked, she hadn’t looked up yet. “Sure, and for you miss?” the African was looking down at something in her hands. “Um, yeah, can I get an iced caramel latte?” I nodded and added that up. “8.99.” I said. The girl with the gorgeous green eyes handed me a 10. I gave her back the change and made the drinks. The girl looked up at me finally. “Hey! You go to our school, don’t you?” “Yeah…I’m Declan Coyne. You’re…” She smiled and held out her hand, “I’m Justice Grace. That was my friend, Yazmin Craig.” I shook her hand and pressed ‘smooth’ button on the smoothie maker machine. I started blocking ice into the java machine. I pressed the ‘start’ button and leaned against the counter. “So…” I said. “So…” she repeated. “Got a girlfriend?” I looked down. Their was still pain when she said ‘girlfriend’. It had been about 2 months since Holly J. Sinclair (supposedly the love of my life) had broken up with me. The last I’d heard about her from Fiona was she was dating Sav. That could’ve changed though. It had been 2 days since I’d talked to Fi.
“No, mine broke up with me.” She looked down then back up. “You?” I asked getting out of the phase. “Excuse me?” she said. “You…do you have a boyfriend?” “No…I’m looking for one.” She said. “Oh…really?” I asked; she nodded. “Wanna go on a date?”
*I hope you liked? Basically, this is just the way Declan Coyne finds someone else!*
