    Coffee House - 12:00pm (ish)
    My brain had turned into a complete mush. A sloppy, blank mush. I didn't know what to write, my mind had just switched off automatically like I had no self-control.

    I sat there staring at the notebook on the table. I don't exactly know why though, maybe I was waiting for it to overload and self-combust into flames or something. Or maybe I just had nothing better to do.

    "Stuck?"
    "Huh." I turned around in my seat to face Chloe, my roommate. As usual she was wearing a down-to-earth kind of smile and smirked at me as she placed her hands around her waist.
    "Eh no, I was just, resting my eyes for a moment." I lied, trying to fake a yawn and rubbing the nape of my neck.
    "Yeah sure, if resting your eyes involves staring at a computer screen all morning - you work too hard, let me buy you a coffee." She winked at me before heading towards the coffee bar.

    I packed the notebook away as Chloe returned baring the coffee mugs and placed them on the table before taking a seat next to me.

    "Oh I've got an awful headache." she groaned and placed her hand over her face.
    "What did you get up to last night? I didn't hear you coming in." I said through mouthfuls of coffee.
    "I was at a party with Jared, you know, my step-brother."
    "Oh, oh yeah ... " I drifted off.

    Of course I knew who Jared was, I thought about Him all the time. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was thinking about Him then ...

    "Well anyway, sorry we didn't invite you or anything hun, it's just, well I thought you needed some rest that's all."

    I suddenly switched back on.

    "Why would I need any rest?" I inquired.
    "Awk, come on Annie ... you know you've been having those nightmares."
    I turned away, "... But I don't remember them."
    "Yes, but you still have them, and it keeps you up everynight - it keeps me up everynight." she quickly gulped the last of her beverage before getting up to leave.
    "Seriously Annie. Now don't be late for work - 2:00pm sharp, I'll see you there."

    I sighed.

    Bookstore - 2:35pm (ish)
    "You're late."
    "I know, and I'm sorry, it's just I had to get the subway in and I - "
    "Shut up Annie, you're lies are awful."
    "Yeah, I know ... " I gave another tired sigh and rubbed my neck again, "So, any customers?"
    "Nah - you know this dump Annie, no one bothers with it."
    "Yeah I suppose."

    Jared's Place - 2:35pm (ish)
    It'd happened again. I'd dreamt about Her. But why? I didn't even know I liked Her.

    I sat down on the couch, my mind was blank. It was like it had turned to a sort of icky mush. It had completely shut off.

    Bookstore - 3:00pm (ish)
    So I was all cosy, comfortable-like, reading a book when who should walk around the corner but Him.

    "Shouldn't you be like, working or something?"
    I gasped at the voice, "Wh-What are you doing here?" I asked, shakily.

    He smiled, a smirk almost, and I turned to the side struggling to get to my feet.

    "I've come to see my two best buds in the whole world of course." He grinned.
    "Bud? Y-You consider me a friend?" I was completely unaware of my flaring blush and utter lack of self-control.

    He gave me an odd look, a sort of "What the hell?".
    He smirked (for sure this time), "You're a weird one, you."

    Then He turned and laughed as He went back round the corner.
    "See you later, Annie." He said.

    Chloe peeked around the corner before blurting out at me, "Oh my God, you totally love my brother!"
    "What? I don't know what you're - "
    She gave me that "I know you're lying, you might as well give it up now" sort of look.
    "I mean, I don't not like him it's just ... "
    "Ah-hah! You do like him! Haha, you like my brother!" she taunted.
    "Please," I begged, "Don't say anything, I don't want him to know."

    Ana's Place - 5:00pm (ish)
    For the entire walk home we were silent, I didn't want to talk about - in fact, I didn't even want to think about Him. Case closed. Lets say no more, thank you.

    But of course that was impossible for Chloe, sooner or later I just knew she was gonna' open that big, fat gob of her's and say something.

    "So why do you like him?"

    I rolled my eyes and sighed (again).

    "I don't know." I lied, again.
    "How can you not know?" she glared at me with a confused expression, "There's got to be something you like about him?"
    "I ... I guess it's that smirk he always gives me." I smiled slightly at the thought of His cute little mouth and His adorable dimple.
    "You're attracted to his smirk?"
    "Shut up!" I threw a peanut at her and we both laughed out uncontrollably.

    Just then (totally cliche of course) the doorbell rang, and I had to quickly avoid one of Chloe's incoming peanuts as I passed her on my way out.

    What on Earth was I thinking, going to Her apartment? I looked like a right weenie.
    But She didn't. She looked cool and relaxed - I hated Her.

    "Jared!" She exclaimed, She looked slightly shocked to see me.
    "Eh, hi." I smiled.
    "Wh-What are you doing here?" She asked, "Are you here to see your sister?"
    "Well no, actually." I rubbed my neck, "I'm here, here to see you."

    And wow was I a weenie - who should be there but Jared, the one person I did not want to face, not after what had happened at the shop.

    He wanted to see me, me.
    Ugh, I just wanted to melt and sweep myself under a table.

    "Why would you want to see me?"
    "I was just wondering if you'd like to - " He looked rather nervous (highly unlikely of course, after all, He is Jared), "I was wondering if you'd like to go for a walk."

    A walk? Eh ... oh-kay.
    "Eh, sure, just let me just grab my coat."

    Park - 5:30pm (ish)
    He took me to the park. We walked and talked for a while, I couldn't help but do that thing where I snort when I laugh - I felt so embarassed.

    Apart from that little unpleasantness, I had a really good time. He was so cute when He talked to me, I kept looking at Him in admiration when I thought He wasn't looking back.

    She was so cute, I loved that She gave a little snort when She laughed - it was adorable. And when She thought I wasn't looking, She gave me a little smile every so often.

    I couldn't help it, I had to tell Her how I felt.

    "Ana I - "
    "Jared?"

    There was a voice - not Ana's voice, someone else's, it was shouting my name.
    "Jared, is that you?" it asked.

    The voice - that, that cow ran over to us and instantly hugged my Jared.

    She stole Him from me.

    "Yossi, it's so good to see you!" He exclaimed, annoyingly hugging her back instead of pushing her away.

    "Where have you been, baby - I haven't seen you in ages." she questioned.

    Baby? What the hell, who was this girl?

    "Eh, Yossi, this is, is - "
    "Ana." I stretched my arm out to her's.
    "Right, Ana. She's my - "

    Jared was cut off again.
    "Friend?" she assumed (not stretching her arm back to shake, what a cow she was), "Pleasure. I'm Yossi, Jared's ex."

    "Ex?"
