- Ahhhh! Today was going to be a great day! No waking up early, afternoon classes, a gig later. The only possible downside to today was the thunderstorm. Lawrence enjoyed the rain, but not when it was bad like this.
The teen hoped out of bed at the sound of his alarm. His roommate wasn't in the room, which meant he probably had a class scheduled early for the day. Lance looked at the clock, seeing that he still had an hour and thirty minutes before class. Days like these called for a treat! There was a Starbucks not too far off of campus he liked to go to, sit down and write more music or just to study. The college student got out of bed, took a shower and changed into his clothes for the day. As he fixed his hair in the mirror, he noticed the guitar pick he hangs off of his necklace was missing. "Oh no no, where is it..." He thought frantically as he ran around the room looking for it. Eventually he found it on his dresser, where his acoustic guitar was resting on. Lance smiled, taking the pick and sliding it back into place in his necklace.
Lance grabbed his school books, umbrella, and put on his glasses before heading out. He really only needed his glasses when it came to reading or writing. Opening the umbrella, Lance walked the short distance from New York University to Starbucks. One of the best things about the city: there was a Starbucks at almost every corner. He stepped under the roof of the entrance to close his umbrella and shake of the water before entering.
He looked around, noticing a few faces from his college, other people studying, or others just there to hang out. Lance waited on line for his turn, all the while tapping his foot to a random beat. He noticed a scent in the air was pretty unique. It smelled really sweet. Lance looked around, not able to figure out where it was coming from. Finally it was his turn to order. He smiled at the barista as he looked up at the menu. "Good morning~ Can I please get a tall Caramel Latte and...a toasted bagel with cream cheese?" He said before paying for his order.
He stepped aside and waited for his order to come when he noticed a person who was not too far ahead of him taking his order. Lance couldn't help but stare at him. The sweet scent was coming from this guy. His order was called, and he turned to thank them before taking his order, then glancing back at the strange male. He wasn't moving from his spot, and the place was starting to get even more crowded. Lance snapped out of it once someone was bumped into him, telling him to step away from the counter so the others can order. That's when he was pushed slightly forward, his coffee spilling onto the handsome male near him.
Lance froze for a second and looked up at him. "Oh my god, I am SO sorr--" He started to say, his hands flailing a bit. What he failed to realize was, the coffee was still in his hand, and still half full. That didn't take too long though, as his hand flew back and the rest of the hot coffee landed onto the barista's uniform. Lance turned around to look at the second mess he made, placing the now empty cup of coffee on the counter away from him, and covered his mouth. "I-I really didn't mean to! Oh god, I'm so sorry!" He said, grabbing tissues to hand them to the stranger. He turned to look at the mess he made on the floor then back at the barista. Everyone was starring at him, some people laughing. "Please, let me clean it up. It was my fault, I'm such an idiot, really." He said, embarrassed. He bit his lip then looked back between the two with the coffee stains. "I'm really, really sorry. I'll...I'll make it up to you!" He apologized.
This was one of those situations where he started over thinking everything. What if the guys shirt was ruined...forever? Or, the worker here got fired because of him. He wouldn't be surprised if the two of them started yelling at him, he knew he deserved it. The worst thing is, he came out completely clean in this mess. Of course they were going to be mad. He took a second to try and relax. "No, I can't." He was getting too nervous, and overthinking, which normally lead him to changing. He couldn't do that here, in front of all these people. Shortly he was a bit more relaxed, and prepared to take whatever punishment it was.
