Jackie was on a mission. Her caffeine levels were getting to be extremely low and she didn’t think she could handle much more time without filling them back up. She definitely knew what it felt like to be a car low on gas. It was not fun. Luckily, she was walking downtown and the cyber café/coffee shop was not too far away. She turned her walk into a skip, uber excited to get to the café. It had been 12 hours since her last cup.

Once inside, she had to wait in line. If she was with any of her other friends, she would have pushed her way to the front. The daily façade she put on was not something she enjoyed, but in order to survive just one more year of high school, she had to do it. It wasn’t like she was a freshman anymore. She was a senior. On top of that, she was a colada, and she was one of the rulers of the school. Being a cheerleader paid off.

Finally, Jackie was at the front of the line. She ordered a decaf latte and a chocolate chip muffin. Her order was filled quickly and she went to a booth near the door. The large window wall was full of sunshine and she could feel it. It felt so good on her skin. Why did she act the way she did? That was the golden question. Unfortunately, she didn’t know how to answer it.

Lucas enjoyed going for a walk into the main town as much as any other person in the town. He liked to do a spot of shopping and then he liked to hit the cyber cafe and have a nice cup of coffee and chat to his parents on the internet. Moving away from them was weird but, after finding out about his illness, he couldn't face living with his parents any more.

Lucas walked the streets finding some nice outfits and a couple of computer games. He loved to shop and his parents were funding him from their home so he could afford them. They were rather wealthy, his dad a singer and his mum an agent who had signed quite a few stars. He hoped to be a singer one day himself.

He strolled into the cafe and smiled at a few people who were always in here. He ordered a double shot large latte and smiled at cashier as she handed him it. He then decided he wanted a BLT sandwich and brought one of them as well. He went to sit in the booth near the window and found it taken. he smiled at the girl and sighed, "Damn, I was really hoping to get this booth, I always do". He loved looking out the window whilst chatting, "I'll just sit next to you.. My name is Lucas" he smiled, placing his coffee down on the computer next to the girl.

After sitting down and starting to pick at her muffin, Jackie took her phone out and logged in to her Twitter. She had some things to tweet, however she was interrupted by a boy who claimed that she’d taken his spot. Raising an eyebrow, she watched him sit down anyways and introduce himself. Was it time for diva-esque or innocent kitten? Diva-esque, definitely. “Uh, whatever. I’m…Jackie.” She looked back down at her phone and muffin, popping another piece of the muffin in her mouth.

The Twitter universe was so interesting. Sure, it wasn’t as advanced as MySpace or Facebook, but it was practically a crime to not have one. Personally, once she got everything the way she wanted it, she could spend all day on it. Simple. 140 characters a Tweet and all the time in the world. But now she couldn’t help but think…had she been rude to the guy who sat down? In her innocent mind, yes. In her diva mind, no. She had her image to keep up.

Lucas logged onto the computer and went straight to his Facebook. He felt the need to update his status for everything he done and he liked the idea of people knowing how happy his outside visage was. He typed a status and then heard the girl reply. He thought to himself, oh, she is a moody one.

He smirked and laughed a little, "For god sake women, jump down from your high horse and take a joke" he said, happy to be able to express himself, "I was messing around!". And he continued to Facebook, updating his status to talk about his latest encounter with the worlds biggest snob...

When Lucas spoke to her again, she felt like she’d just been bitten hard by a shark. What the hell was wrong with her? This wasn’t who she was! Jackie looked back up at him and said, “I’m sorry. I just…it’s a natural reflex. I don’t know how to take a joke, much less tell what is a joke.” Her words were completely sincere and heartfelt. This was who she was. Not the skanky ass bitch who’d spoken moments before. She really needed to learn how to pull away from her fears. They were only holding her back.

Problem was…if the other coladas saw her doing this, they’d crucify her. Jackie was one of the secretly good ones. She wasn’t a skank…she was in fact still a virgin, but her friends didn’t have to know that. It was her dirty little secret. Sure, she wasn’t proud of it, but to keep up appearances, she had to do it. It was the only way she could survive the cruel world of high school for one more year. Being a cheerleader had its advantages, but apparently, they would rot you to the core if you weren’t careful.

Lucas was shocked when Jackie said sorry to him. He hadn't actually expected an apology and was happy when he had got one. He had never had an apology from a snob before. He laughed, "I guess I could help you distinguish between a joke and someone being serious" he laughed and then added, "That was a joke". He then realised this was probably the way this type of girl wasn't allowed to act, "Don't worry about apologizing... I guess the other coladas would frown upon you for doing it. Your secret is safe".

Lucas continued on the computer and decided to make conversation, "So what brings you here today? No computer at home or just coming for the awesome coffee" he said sarcastically. The coffee here wasn't to great as far as he was concerned but hey, he would rather contact his parents here then use his own computer.

All the talk about the jokes was kind of sickening to Jackie, even as she had let her colada-esque guard down. “Um…okay, good to know,” she said. She looked back her phone. Why was she even on Twitter on her phone? She was sitting in a cyber café! It wasn’t necessary. There was probably someone else that needed it more than she did. She just needed Twitter.

When Lucas asked her why she was there, she said, “Um…I guess the coffee. My caffine levels were low. I needed to refuel.” Maybe I should ask about him, but it’s pretty obviously, I guess. “Uh, wha-what about you?” She was never one for good conversation when she let her guard down and exposed her true self. It was just the natural thing. If she wasn’t around the coladas, she had no fucking idea what she was doing.

Lucas could sense the conversation turning awkard and decided to state that point and muttered the word out loud. He didn't care much for the reaction now. She had turned back into her snobbish self and completely made Lucas hate her now.

Lucas smirked at her answer and laughed, "Yeah I should have got that from the idea that your in a coffee shop, but hey, you might have come for the muffin you seem to have destroyed". He took a deep breath and shook his head, "Nope... I didn't come to drink coffee... I came to communicate with my parents... Not a huge fan of using my own computer to talk to them..." and he sent the email he had just finished...

Jackie nodded. "Mmm. Well, I guess whatever works for you." She looked down and stared at the muffin that she had destroyed. Lucas was right about that part. But she couldn't completely put herself into this conversation. She was so mellow...so shallow. She could never be friends with a guy like him, not in this state at least. Maybe there was a common ground she could find with herself. Lucas seemed like a nice guy and that was the problem.

To continue in her Twitter world, she browsed for her other friends and added as many as she could find. It was such an interesting process and it was definately keeping her occupied. She didn't want to seem rude to Lucas, but what could she talk about? She really wasn't the conversation type without the coladas.
