"He's watching you."

"I'm trying to finish this." Elaine murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

"He's definitely checking you out." Allison grinned, whipping her head around to watch him.

"Maybe because I'm talking to thin air." She hissed, writing a few more words in her neat scrawl.

"He's coming over here." The girl squealed, scooting over as if she could actually take up space. "And I'm staying this time."

"What are you doing?" Isaac asked as he sat down, making her look up from her notebook.

"I'm on home study." Elaine hummed, glancing back down and writing more. "How do you go to school?"

"Online courses." He shrugged, drumming his fingers on the table.

"Ask me." She sighed, closing her notebook and leaning back against the booth.

"Who are you always talking to?" Isaac whispered, leaning forward. "Is it a ghost?"

"He's cute when he's curious, right?" Allison propped her head on her hands, an evil smile on her lips.

"I guess you could say that." Elaine sighed, rubbing her temple.

"Who?"

"It's me."

"Allison." The petite girl groaned, more to the apparition than to the boy in front of her.

"Is she here right now?" Isaac asked slowly, his eyes getting a little bit wider.

"Yes, she is." Allison stated matter-of-factly, bouncing lightly where she sat. "Did you know he picked out five different cardigans before coming in today? I think he wanted to look good for you."

"Nope." Elaine ignored her friend and smiled at Isaac, shaking her head. "She left as soon as you came over."

"Liar!" She gasped, holding her hand to her chest in mock offence.

"Hmm." Isaac frowned, reaching for her notebook. "What are you writing?"

"Nothing, just a paper for my composition class." She rushed out, yanking the spiral bound book and clutching it to her chest.

"Let me see." He laughed, reaching forward and snatching it from her grip. The boy flipped through the pages until he found the right one, holding it just above her reach. "Here it is; 'The boy from the coffee shop'. Seems familiar."

"You didn't." Allison let out a laugh of disbelief, watching her friend's cheeks burn red. "You used Isaac for your assignment."

Isaac cleared his throat and started reading ignoring Elaine's pleas against it.

"Alright. The boy at the coffee shop. Stubborn, persistent, and curious. While he may come off as arrogant, his deep blue eyes tell stories that would presume other-"

"Okay, that's quite enough." Elaine huffed, finally pulling it from his grasp. "It's rude to read other people's private things."

"Private?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow at her. "I thought it was for your professor?"

"Private from you." She scoffed, hitting him lightly with her book.

"Was that about me?" Isaac grinned widely at her, the girl's blush becoming deeper by the second. "I'm pretty sure it was about me."

"How do you know it's not about Lukas?" The petite girl brushed away his assumption, making him glance back at Lukas.

"Lukas's eyes are brown." He pointed out, raising an eyebrow. "Mine, however, are blue. In fact, a deep blue that could-"

Elaine balled her hand into a tiny fist and punched his shoulder, the boy letting out an amused laugh.

"Maybe I go to another coffee shop, you don't know my life." She huffed, holding her notebook against her chest again.

"I'd like to." He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking down at her. "Do you consume anything besides coffee and muffins?"

"That's code for he's asking you on a date." Allison spoke up, leaning in closer so she could yell in Elaine's ear. "A date!"

Elaine just ignored her, keeping his gaze.

"Curiousity killed the cat, Isaac." She mused, cocking her head to the side.

"It's a good thing I'm a wolf then, huh?"
