Pam, as always, is running late for her first class of the first term as a college student. She quickly entered the coffee shop just outside her school for a quick shot of caffeine.
"iced latte please. Tall." she said while looking for a hundred bill in her wallet.
"name?" asked the girl in the counter.
"PJ."
She paid and stood on the side waiting for her order while looking at her schedule on the facebook page of her department.
She received a message from Angela, her friend who is in the same department.
"hurry girl! where are you?"
She was about to reply when she heard her name being called by the barista. She quickly took the cup of coffee and made a long, hearty sip. She was about to walk off when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Sorry miss but i think that's my drink." said a guy tall enough, she had to raise her head to meet his eyes.
"what? No."
"Yes. iced caramel macchiato." the guy responded, with a smile that's about to turn into a chuckle. And as if on cue to embarass her, her name got called.
"PJ!"
she quickly glanced at the name written on the cup and it says "TJ". she mustve misheard.
She handed the cup over. Almost ran to get her drink and grabbed a new straw by the counter. She quickly took the straw she used on the guy's drink and replaced it with a new one.
"sorry. i gotta run. sorry" she said while walking away and running towards her school without looking back.
"kill me now" she thought to herself as she sped off towards her classroom.
