"Science isn't my forte." She stated, pushing random buttons on the cash register.

“Neither is math mine.” She ran a hand through her hair.

"I'm not the best at math, but I'm not terrible. I just like it."

“I like geometry. My algebra skills are meh. Not too shabby.”

"Geometry's pretty fun since it's just a bunch of shapes." Charlotte shrugged and began messing with the Etch A Sketch.

“Yeah. Easier than some of the others too. What kind of music do you like?””

Charlotte shrugged. "Halsey, Billy Joel, U2, Avicii, Vance Joy, Monkees, Beetles, anything from a musical really…"

“I love the Beatles! Also Queen and David Bowie, I’m a fan of the oldies.”

"Same here. It's annoying though, because none of them are on tour." Charlotte chuckled. "Except the Monkees. I went to their concert two years ago."

“Never heard of them, what sort of genre are they?”

"Pop rock I guess. It's hard to explain."

“I’ll give them a try.” She smiled.

Charlotte smiled, standing up and crossing her arms.

(Idk what to do)

(you could just go sit down….?)

(Yeah, I guess so)
Lloyd walked quietly into the coffee shop, a heavy bag of books slung over one shoulder. He adjusted the strap as he waited in the line, glancing at the other people in the shop.

Charlotte looked up and smiled fakely at the boy who had just walked in. My mouth is going to hurt so much when I get home…

Once Lloyd made it to the front of the line, he prepared himself to order. He hated ordering things, it always made him anxious, but it was necessary. "Um, I-I'll just have a coffee please. Black is fine." He adjusted his bag again so that the strap wasn't digging into his shoulder.

She smiled a little more, sensing the boy's anxiousness. "Coming right up." Charlotte impatiently tapped her foot as the cup filled up with coffee. This thing is way too slow… Once it filled up, she put a lid on it and handed it to the boy. "Two dollars and ten cents."

"T-thank you, miss." Stop stuttering, you idiot. You're ordering coffee. It's not that hard. Lloyd counted out the money and handed it to the barista, his hands shaking a bit. Then he hurried over to an empty table in the corner and pulled out a science textbook, reading it while he waited for the coffee to cool off enough for him to drink.

Charlotte watched as the boy walked off. What is he reading….a science textbook? Huh. Well, I can't judge. She looked over at the Etch A Sketch on the counter.
