After getting my food, I went and sat down at one of the tables. The only other people in the restaurant were two older women sitting together and chatting, and a main in a suit who looked like he just needed to eat before getting back to work.

I started eating my food, and took my book out of the large kangaroo pocket of my sweatshirt. I really should have been studying, but I just couldn't help it. I loved reading. I would read practically anything--a comic book, a magazie, ebooks--but my favorite was just a good old fashioned book. There's a feeling you get from reading a real book you can hold in your hands, and it's hard to find that feeling anywhere else.

The day's book was from the Series Of Unfortunate Events series, by Lemony Snicket. I was on the sixth book, about halfway through. I needed to finish reading it and return it to the library, as it was due in a few days.

I was so engrossed in my story that when someone touched my shoulder, I practically jumped a foot in the air.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," said Josh.

"I-It's okay," I stammered. I wasn't a big fan of being touched when it wasn't my choice, as it could make my anxiety flare up, especially if it was unexpected. I didn't feel like telling Josh that at the moment, so I swallowed back my slight nervousness, and put my book down. I mentally reminded myself that he was nice to me and I could trust him. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"It's my lunch break," he told me. He held a tray in his hands, loaded with two chalupas, a drink, and a cup of pintos and cheese. He wore a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and sneakers, as well as a black snapback, which covered most of his hair. "Is it okay if I sit here with you?"
