Karie Linden was a huge fan music, so much of a fan that she had posters of her favourite band, The Cloudy Day, all over her room.

The lead singer, Jaxon Grey, had been her celebrity crush for ages.

She always dreamed of the perfect meet-cute where she would be at a concert, and he would pick her, and only her, to come up on stage with him.

She knew this would never happen though, her dream was a long shot.

She was just walking into a coffee shop to do her homework one afternoon, when she saw him.

A tall blonde boy, in a grey sweater, his hair all messy. He was sitting in a booth with a coffee in front of him.

Karie recognized him immediately, Jaxon Grey! Her teen superstar crush was in a booth drinking coffee in her town.

She approached him and really quietly said, “Hi, are you Jaxon Grey?”

He turned to her, his frown turned to a slight smile. In a gravely voice he said, “yeah, that’s me. What’s up?”

She took a deep breath in. She had one chance, she couldn’t embarrass herself. “Well- I’m just a really- a big- a fan.”

“Oh,” he said, still with a smile. “You want to sit down?”

“Sure,” she said, sitting down. A waiter came by, she ordered a coffee.

Her heart was doing somersaults, she was masking her excitement well, though.

The rest of the conversation went smoothly, until the waiter brought her coffee.

She took on sip. “Oh,” she said quietly. “There’s no sugar in this.”

Immediately, Jaxon got up. He started cursing out the waitress, asking for her manager, demanding she was fired.

Karie sat in the booth, nervously twiddling her thumbs.

He sat back down, and in a calm voice he said, “sorry ‘bout that.”

A little while later they both went home, but on the next date, all he would talk about was himself and tv show fan theories.

Karie realized this amazing boy she had dreamed of dating, was a nightmare in a hoodie.

She had to break it up, but how?

She was too scared of what might happen.

She’d seen how he treated that waitress. So, she did what any sensible adult would do,

Quickly say, “we’re breaking up.” And bolt out of the door, never to see Jaxon again.
