Hope sat in star bucks, a small coffee in one hand and a pen in the other! She’d been shopping the previous day and had a little thing going on in her head but she couldn’t leave it at 7 lines!! She drummed the pen against the paper lightly as she tried to get inspiration! She was waiting at the station! He was getting off a train! He didn’t have a ticket so he had to bomb through barriers, again! Well the ticket inspector saw them rushing through! He said “Girl, you don’t know, how much I’ve missed you but… we’d better run because I… haven’t got the funds to pay this… fine!” She said “Fine!” Well they ran out of the station and jumped on to the station and jumped onto a bus, with 2 of yesterdays travel cards and 2 bottles of bud! And he said “You look well nice!” well she was wearing a skirt and he thought that she looked nice! And yet she didn’t really care about anything else as long as he thought that she looked nice! And he did! DAMN!!! She always got stuck at a certain point! It was so frustrating! She sipped her coffee and tucked her hair behind her ear!
It was just an average Saturday for most! She looked around! There weren’t even any couples she could draw inspiration from! She’d really love America since she moved there but she didn’t feel there was enough going on around her to write about! She didn’t have friends to steal quotes from! It was frustrating! But she’d get over it! All she needed was coffee and connect 4 to get her brain going again! So she had one of the 2! So she had to try and get her brain in gear! [/center] |

Another Saturday. Another day at Starbucks. After the duck fiasco that happened the last time he'd been here, he hadn't been here till today. He went to the counter and ordered his regular coffee and grabbed another newspaper. There might have been the comics to look for. He actually was looking right at them.
He stared at the comics, reading, when his coffee came. That shocked him. He was in his 'zone'. Anything to do with art or drawing, he would retreat into his 'zone'. Paying for his coffee and newspaper, it was basically like every other day. Except for the clothes. Today, he was actually wearing a loose pair of jeans and a tight black shirt. Today was a different day for him.
He sat down at the table he'd sat at earlier, not noticing someone was there until he looked up and saw a girl sitting across from him. He just stared at her, his coffee held halfway in the air. He slowly put it down as he stared at her before saying, "Um...Hi?" |

Hope suddenly stopped and looked up. She saw a guy sat in front of her! “Oh, hi! Sorry! Do you want me to move?”
[/b] She said placing her pen on the note book! The page was proof enough of her inability to concentrate. The corner of the page covered in little doodles and at the bottom of the page she had drawn a yellow brick road with Dorothy, the tin man, a scarecrow and an upright lion in between them! Hope put her hands out slightly stopping the pen rolling off the book, it wasn’t like she had magic powers in her hands she just… did it!! After she was sure the pen was stationary she turned to grab her bag! She could be a little… a lot.. Ditzy at times and always tried to make sure she had everything! She’d lost too many mobiles and an ipod or two![/center][/size] |

He blinked, shaking his head. Usually people just got up and left. The girl was probably a polite person. Judging by the way she was acting. He watched her make sure her pen didn't fall off the table. He just stared at her before saying, "It's cool. You can stay. I just...didn't see anyone. It's my fault..."
He put his coffee down and crossed his arms on the table, watched her as she was about to grab her bag. He wondered if she would stay or leave. It seemed like with her, anything was possible. [/center] |

Hope stopped and turned to face him. "You sure?" She said having her bag in her hand incase he turned round and went 'actually get lost' not like he looked like he'd say it but... Hope felt a bit awkward in the moments await a reply, she tugged slightly nervously on the sleeve of her long sleeved red polo neck top! Her top was accompanied nicely by a par of black high waisted trousers and braces! Not her normal stuff but she was comfortable and it was perfect for a lazy saturday morning!

He nodded. "I'm sure. It's my fault, anyways. I didn't check to see if anyone was sitting here." He picked up his coffee and took a sip, looking at the page in front of the girl. "So, were you writing or something? Or doodling..." Being upside down, he couldn't make out anything that was on the paper. It was one of his problems. He went back to his comics for a bit. It was one of his favorite things to do while drinking coffee; reading the comics, doodling, or reading a boring news article. Today was going to be reading the comics, and then a boring news article. |

Hope smiled slightly and nodded. Then he mentioned what she was doing, she screwed up her nose slightly. “Well, I was attemping to put words to the tune I got but I got a mixed up brain and just ended up having a doodle fest!” She sighed! Stupid brain!! Why could she never get a tune AND a decent song! She just got one or the other! She’d worked the whole tune out on Arnold last night but she still only had the little bird ditty! This was worse than the time she had ‘and im singing uh oh on a Friday night and I hope everythings gonna be alright!’ That swum round her head for weeks and then the rest of her song didn’t even make sense with it! Mouthwash was still one of her best achievements though!

He grinned. "That sometimes happens. It's annoying, isn't it? It's like, when I want to draw something certain for class, and I start it, and then I end up losing focus and doing something else... He sipped his coffee, sort of looking at her before realizing he didn't even know her name. Clearing his throat, he smiled. "I just realized. We've been talking, but I don't even know your name. I'm Blaise." He held his hand out to shake hers. |

As Blaise introduced himself and held out his hand Hope moved to shake it! “I’m Hope! A little bit of irony from my mother considering I’m pretty much Hope-less!” [/b] She said with a giggle! As their hands parted Hope looked at the page and giggled slightly. “This isn’t gonna work! Well it’ll work I’ll make it work… but it’s a little…. Bleh! I had a little thing going last night and it was good but I have no idea how to put it with this! Damn the duck and it’s distraction tactics!”[/b] She ranted with a sigh![/center][/size] |

Hearing duck, he looked up from the comics. "By any chance, was this duck white with a yellow beak? Owned by a girl with pink hair?" He honestly didn't think he'd run into that duck in his conversation, but here it was again. His feet still ached from his last encounter with it. And the girl, though odd, did seem like interesting company...if it weren't for the damn duck that left little marks on his feet. |

Hope smiled slightly and nodded! “Yeah!! It’s beak was pretty! It was cute but it’s completely slashed my concentration!”
[/b] She suddenly clicked her fingers and picked up the pen. But he was looking at her yeah, all funny in the eye, She “come on boy tell me what your thinking now, don’t be shy!” He said “Alright, I’ll try! All the stars in the sky, and the leaves on the trees, All the broken bits that make you jump up and grassy bits in between. All the matter in the world is how much I like you!" She said “What?” He said “Let me try again” BIRD DITTY! She smiled broadly. “WHEY!”[/b] She said gently! It was a eureka moment for her![/center][/size] |

He sighed. The damn duck. Soon it was going to turn up everywhere. That thing would kill him if it wanted. He picked up his coffee again and took a sip, turning back to the comics when he heard a 'whey' sound from Hope. Looking up again, it seemed like she had written something else. Apparently Starbucks was inspiration palace. He took one of the napkins that was on the table, and took his pen out of his pocket, and started to sketch. |

Hope smiled broadly!! If she added the bird ditty she basically had the whole song!! “Arnold will be impressed!! Words and not just me going DO DO DO DA DO DO!” [/b] She giggled! She looked to Blaise. “See you’re in the zone too?!”[/b][/center][/size] |

He stared at his napkin, too focused on his little comic. It was basically a little image of the last visit at Starbucks, crazy duck and pink-haired girl and all. It was turning out pretty good. This would be his greatest masterpiece yet. But when she said the little 'do do do da' part, that scared him something awful. He literally jumped out of his seat, his hand bumping into his coffee, causing it spill all over the table.
He stared, his eyes wide. "Oh, god. I am so sorry. Honestly, I didn't...." He reached for the end of the tables quickly, trying to get some napkins to clean it up. |

As Blaise sent the coffee over Hope jumped upwards out of her chair. She didn’t wanna be scolded or something! “OH SUGAR!”
[/b] She said grabbing her note book and holding it by the corner! “Nah, don’t worry about it! My fault I spooked ya!”[/b] She said sighing at the dripping ink that was once her song!! [/center][/size] |
