    Kenzie smoothed out her hair as she waited for her vanilla latte to be finished. She was oblivious to the world, her long dark hair hanging off her shoulder and her headphones hanging out of her ears. Nestled in her arm were several rather large notebooks, resting upon her hip. She had her SAT coming up and she was frantic to pass. If she ever wanted to get out of this town she'd need a perfect score. Finally, after what felt like hours, the baristia placed her cup on the counter and without looking at her surroundings she stepped forward to grab the white and green cup with her name.

    Michael was headed to one of his jobs when he decided to get a morning coffee. He was in a doctoral program and still had to work three jobs to pay for all of his college costs. He already had a bachelor degree in criminal justice, a masters in political science, and he was in law school going for his Juris Doctoral degree. As he moved between people his name was called out for a black coffee. He went to grab it and just as he did he bumped into another girl who grabbed her latte. The latte spilling on the two of them. His dark black jeans, and a white button up, so it became stained. Mike sighed before grabbing the entire thing of napkins. "I am so sorry, I didn't see you because I was in such a rush, let me pay for your next one." He said as he tried to clean himself up. Mike pulled out his wallet and handed the girl a twenty before also handing her napkins. "I'm so sorry see you alright?"

    "Shit!" Kenzie exclaimed, the hot coffee spilling all over her white top and scalding her skin, causing her to drop her own cup. All she could think about was the burning feeling of her skin and the undeniable stain that was SURE to ruin one of her favorite tops. She took the napkins offered to her and started to blot her top as she pulled the headphones out of her ears. "Don't worry about it, that's fine. I should've been paying more attention." She stated as she handed him back the money, stopping suddenly as the realization hit. "Shit my books!" In the crash, Kenzie had dropped all her school books and they were now soaked in coffee. She dropped to her knees as she scrambled to save something... anything. Try as she might, there was no way she could salvage all her notes after this. She was screwed for sure. Through the entire encounter she had yet to look at the man who had dumped his coffee on her. Looking up at him she stopped blotting and her mind blanked. Wow he's... wow.

    Mike felt bad that he had caused the girl to: one burn herself and two get coffee all over her. He motioned to a worker at the coffee shop to let them know that there was a mess. When Mike heard the girl tell he got down on his knees to help her out trying to save what he could. "I'm so sorry." He said again. "Is there anything I can do? What were these for maybe I can help you." He said and when she finally looked up at him, Mike gave her a sheepish smile. He didn't look like he was that smart. But he had gotten a perfect score on both his SAT and ACT, and was only off on the LSAT by 100 points. Michael picked up some ruined napkins and began to throw them out. "I think the best was to save books is to splay them out over something warm. But the notes are ruined. I should have paid more attention. I'm sorry." He said and he ran a hand through his hair looking down at Kenzie. He thought she was cute. "A mistake like that could get me fired in the real world, can't make mistakes." He mumbled do himself.

    Kenzie blushed slightly before standing up with the items that could be salvaged in her hands."It's alright really... these were all of my notes for the SAT... it's coming up and I need to get a good score." She explained, her hands were sticky from the syrup in her latte. Her eyes traveled around the coffee shop for the bathroom. When she finally found it she looked back at the stranger "Thank you for helping me, but I need to wash up. It was nice to meet you." Kenzie threw him a smile before walking away quickly, dipping into the bathroom. Dropping her books on the spare sink, Kenzie turned to the mirror to inspect her appearance. The white tank top blouse she had once loved was ruined, but the black jean skirt looked unharmed. Her shoes, black ankle boots, were wet and sure to be sticky but it was nothing she couldn't fix at home. Stepping up to the sink she washed her hands and forearms, then used a wet paper towel to clean off her exposed chest. Once finished and no longer stinky, Kenzie swept her hair over her shoulder as she grabbed her books, strolling out of the bathroom to get another latte.

    Mike smiled softly at the girl, looking at her up and down for a quick second. "Oht he SAT? That was easy." He said and chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "I got a perfect score on the SAT, and the ACT. Really I could help out. It's the least I could do after ruining your stuff." He said and bit his lip again. Despite the good looks and charm Mike was quite nervous and awkward with girls simply because he had always been too busy studying in high school to have any formal girlfriends. Mike went up to the cashier and handed him the twenty, telling him that it was for Kenzie's latte and a breakfast sandwich of her choosing. He felt bad about the whole thing. Mike also left a note with his number saying if she wanted help with the SAT he would gladly provide it. Michael went off to the bathroom for guys and washed himself off. He was coming out just as she was ordering her second latte. He gave a smile and wave to her as he dipped out of the cafe.

    Kenzie smiled as the man left, giving him a small wave in return. As she turned back to the register she pulled out her card. "How much?" She questioned. The barista then informed her it was already paId for, along with a sandwich and a note. Kenzie tilted her head before picking out a sandwich and thanking the cashier. As she waited for the new drink and now a sandwich, she unfolded the note and her eyes scanned over it. She smiled softly before saving the number in her phone as 'Mystery Guy'. She'd definitely be using this number.

    Michael headed off to the sandwich shop that he worked at when he left. He went into work and had to change into a spar shirt due to the coffee stain. He pulled in his visor before going to the line to help assemble sandwiches, and later went to the oven to cook them. Part way through his day he couldn't help but think of the girl he bumped into at the coffee shop. She was really cute, he hoped that she would take his number and they could talk. He didn't have many girls in his life, he had his two roommates who were both guys, and only a handful of friends from high school, and the ones he was in law school with. They all had girlfriends, but not Mike. If not at least he knew which coffee shop she went to, he could accidentally bump into her again. As it came to the lunch rush Mike went out front to help again. His phone in his pocket, which he was allowed to keep in case of emergency. His boss knew he was helping take care of his father with his mother, so if something came up he would have to leave. But he also was hoping today the girl might message him.

    Sitting at the library Kenzie kept looking down at her phone. She couldn't decide if she should text him or not. He said he had gotten a perfect score on his SAT and ACT which meant that he was obviously older than her... but that didn't mean he couldn't just be one year older. Biting her lip she pulled out her phone for the hundredth time and created a new text to the mystery guy.

    So are you gonna be mystery guy forever or are you gonna tell me your name

    Mike was finishing up a sandwich when he felt his phone go off. He told his coworker he would be right back before he took his gloves off and went out back. Michael smiled at his phone and he sat down at the break table. Mystery Guy is a kinda cool name. But I'm Michael you can call me Mike, what about you? He sent and grinned. Mike was ecstatic the girl messaged him. He could probably be getting his hopes up, but he didn't care, he never had his hopes too high and he was gone let it happen this time. Michael went back out front to clock out before heading back to his apartment. He was working at midnight for the midnight to four shift at McDonald's so he wanted to get a nap in before he had to go back to work.

    Kenzie smiled at her phone, biting her lip once again. It was a nervous tick but most guys seemed to like it - the one boyfriend she did have said it drove him wild. It's what lead to the two of them having sex. She needed to focus on getting out of town though, and he wanted to stay, so the relationship had ended. Pushing her books aside she quickly typed a response.

    I dont know... mystery girl sounds appealing to me... i might make you call me that lol

    Mike headed inside and threw his cinch bag onto the chair he kept in his bedroom before plopping down on his bed. Awh but I'm sure you've got such a cute name. He sent and laid down, turning his radio on. Well if you wanna study for the SAT we cans meet somewhere or you could come over to my apartment. I actually have a few hours off from my three jobs tomorrow. He sent afterwards. Michael closed his eyes, he was planning on napping but if his mystery girl wanted to keep a conversation going then he planned on continuing it too.

    Kenzie rolled her eyes before typing back to him, her books forgotten on the table. Oh fine... It's Kenzie. When his second text came through, she realized she had completely forgotten about studying. She wasn't going to get anything done today so she packed up her books and stood. Pulling her phone back out she considered meeting him somewhere or at his apartment...

    Anywhere is fine... just tell me when and where

    Mike opened his eyes and looked at the text, he didn't really feel like waiting to see the girl again. My address is 382 Oakland Street, you can come over anytime today if you want. Id love to see you again, but without the burning coffee spilled between us this time He sent and chuckled. Michele knew he wouldn't be falling asleep anytime soon, so he decided to go watch TV while waiting fir the girl go tell him her plans.

    Kenzie bit her lip again... considering the possibilities. Should she or shouldn't she... shaking her head she walked to her car and Google directions to his place. It wasn't far, but she should probably tell someone where she was going... just in case. Pulling her phone out she sent her mom a text, saying she was going to a friend's to study and giving her the address. Then she pulled up her texts with Mike and sent him another. After sending the text she put her phone on the passenger seat and started the car, heading towards his home. She had shed the stained blouse - leaving her in just a thin white camisole that clearly showed the lacy black push up bra she was wearing and short skirt. It probably wasn't the best thing she could wear but she really didn't want to go back to her house to get a new outfit.

    I'll be there in 10 ;p

    Mike turned on Criminal Minds as he waited to hear from Kenzie. When he got her text he couldn't help but blush and smile. He was excited that he was gonna see the mystery girl again, even though he knew he name now. Mike got up and looked around. The place was a bit of a mess, but what was there to expect when three guys lived here. He picked up the living room, the kitchen, and his bedroom. Assuming those would be the three places he and Kenzie would be in. When he heard the knock on his apartment door he went over and answered the door. He was the only one home right now which made him happy. "Nice to see you again." He chuckled and smiled at her, a small blush on his cheeks. "Come in." He said as he led her to the living room.

    "Nice to see you too" Kenzie smiled at him, feeling slightly self conscious of her chest being on display. He hadn't looked yet but she was sure he'd notice at some point. Not that it would be a bad thing, he was definitely cute and she wouldn't mind seeing just a bit more of him. "So do you live here alone?" She questioned with a smile, following him into the apartment. She looked around clearly seeing that he had picked up the kitchen and living room in the last few minutes.

    Mike sat down on the couch, moving over so that Kenzie could sit besides him. "No I have two roommates. They're either out with their girlfriends or working. They can't be at school because we all have the same classes. So I would know. I hope I'm not missing my business law class." He said and chuckled, he had certainly noticed Kenzie's body. But he made sure not to look. He didn't want to be disrespectful. Plus he knew how awkward he got around girls. "So Kenzie. Do you actually wanna study?" He asked with a laugh.
