The day went by so fast, it was already evening and I've been in my room ever since. I don't want to face Sima when she's got that attitude of hers. She barely listens to me and her temper is what makes me hate her even more.

I sat on my bed staring into space, thinking about nothing but how to spend the six months I have to enjoy my "stupid" life, as Sima said.

I've been watching too many American movies lately, I know that the world out there is fun. I just can't wait for tomorrow so I can go out and enjoy life. I don't  want to waste away my life easily like this.

Wait.

Why wait for tomorrow? Why not go now?

With those thoughts I stood up from the bed and went to bath, in less than twenty minutes I was done bathing and dressing up. I'm not a fish nor am I that type of a girl, I just wear whatever I come across when opening the closet.

But maybe today I dressed up a little bit, it's my first day as a girl and I should get used to dressing up for the next 6 months.

I took my helmet on top of the small shoe cabinet.

I did not even turn to look at Sima as I walked out, I rode on my bike and drove away.

Drove away to go and watch the movie at the cinema for the first time in 15 years.

I drove to the cinema that was 30 minutes away from where I live.

I got there late when the movie had already started, I sat at the back with my popcorn and soda. I watched from afar but it was nice until someone sat besides me, I looked at the person wondering why didn't they just move to the front and watch from there. But I was not in the mood to be arguing with anyone as it was MY day out as a girl living her normal life.

I felt really uncomfortable sitting next to this person, I just wished that they moved to the front and watch from there.

Finally after a moment of awkwardness the movie came to an end, and the light came to life.

I looked at the person who was sitting very close to me and I almost collapsed to the floor.

"You!" I exclaimed almost loudly.

He just turned his face and looked at me.

"Fancy seeing you here." He grinned and stood up then began walking away.

I sat there confused about what just happened, I quickly stood up and went after him more like running after him.

Is he one of my enemies? Did he get the order to kill me because I want to call it quits?

All those thoughts were taking turns in my head as I ran after him dodging people ong the way, I found him ready to exit the cinema.

"Wait!". I screamed after him, he stopped as if he recognised my voice. Or maybe he did.

He turned to look at me then flashed a smile, I came to a stop right Infront of him.

"Are you stalking me?".

He just looked at me and smiled, I think he likes smiling.

"What makes you think that?".

"You are everywhere I go." I looked at him he gave me a mischievous smile.

"Do you want me to be everywhere you are?". Is that even a question.

"What?!" I asked shocked.

"You just said I'm everywhere you go. Do you want to go and grab coffee with me? It's almost time for me to drink coffee and you are holding me up." He said that a d looked at his wrist watch.

I looked at him shocked, what does he think he's doing? and why am I still standing here not walking away from this weirdo?

"I'll take that as a yes." He pulled me with my hand towards the exit. Deep down I wanted to kick him right in the guts.

I decided to follow him quietly as he walked away pulling me by the hand, maybe this is how the normal life is I wouldn't know.

We entered this amazing looking cafe, I looked around mesmerized. I've never been to a cafe ever since I was born, and now here I am with a stranger about to drink coffee.

He sat me down by the window and ordered coffee for the both of us.

"Why did you drag me here with you?" I asked in annoyance.

"I wanted to drink coffee and it looked like you had something to ask me."

"I asked you if you were stalking me or something, and you just answered with another question."

"I'm not stalking you.". He chuckled softly.

"I doubt the police will believe that since you also dragged me here." I said taking out the phone pretending to be calling cops.

"But I believe I'm not stalking you."

"The police won't believe that." I said dialing the numbers, "they won't believe you since I'm one of them." I laughed sarcastically.

He took out his police ID card, my mouth slightly opened and I placed my phone slowly on the table.

"It was just a coincidence that we met continuously like this."

I stared at him a little bit embarrassed, and the waiter saved me from the embarrassment when she bought our coffee.

"Thank you." I quickly said that and took a sip on my iced americano while he slipped on his latte.

"I'm Nation, and what's your name?" He asked clearly amused by the fact that I was suddenly quiet.

"It's Aph... I'm Starla." I smiled.

"Nice name." He said and sipped on his coffee.

"Yours too, it's also unique." I said and sipped on my iced americano.

I've been watching a lot of movies where they drank iced americano I wished to drink it one day, and here I am today drinking it. All thanks to this police officer sitting Infront of me.

Whose name is Nation.
