Josh was sitting against the black iron gate at the park with his laptop sitting in his lap, as he scrolled through his email and his school website he frowned-looking upset and concerned. Continuing to check his phone and switch between the two devices he didn’t notice the person walking up to him.
Unbelievable. How had she gotten the spell wrong? “Pardon me, can you tell me where I am? This doesn’t look anything like Hogwarts.” She sighed, shaking her head in irritation.
“Hogwarts? As in the mythical castle from the Harry Potter series?” Josh raised an eyebrow, staring at this girl with flaming red hair. “Are you feeling alright? Do I need to get you to the doctor?...Did you hit your head?”
“Okay look, I have a week to get this editorial done and Paris is already screaming at me to get it emailed to her as soon as possible so I’m sure whatever you need can wait.” She sighed, not even looking at the stranger who had appeared in the doorway.
Josh frowned and stared on at the girl who seemed so focused in on what she was doing. “Fine, sorry, I just thought you should know that someone down the hall started a fire. You might want to get out.”
Kol lifted his drunk head off the bar and blinked slowly with a sad grin. He was ashamed that he had reduced himself to a drunk, almost crying mess. “What are you looking at? never seen a drunk man cry” he spat at the figure. “I haven’t cried in almost a century, it’s time to break my record” he sat up straight and downed his glass before re-filling it with a bottle he had taken from behind the bar.
Josh couldn’t help himself...he let out a nervous laugh that sounded a lot worse than he meant it to. “Look, dude. Whatever the problem is I guarantee you won’t find the answer at the bottom of any bottle.” He was going to say something about the crying, but the truth is, if he had been found in that situation he wouldn’t want the stranger to mention it. “Why the need to drink anyway?
He smiled at her, seeing how happy she was. “It’s nice to see you happy, Maya. It looks good on you.”
She smiled back. “Thank you, Josh. It feels good to be happy and have good things going, you know?”
He nodded his head. “I know what you mean. Good things in life are how you get hope again.” He sighed. “I wish things were going good for me. Honestly, I think I’m losing interest in being in New York, College, all of it.”
He smiled. “Pasta leftovers sounds delicious actually. I understand if you think that’s weird, but most breakfasts for me is leftovers.”
“You almost sound like my dad…” Bella chuckled, the memory making ehr smile for a small moment while she took the pasta out of the fridge. “But okay, then I’ll heat it up again for us.”
He nodded, waiting for a moment as he watched her mess around in the kitchen. “So, Bella. How did you end up here anyway? You haven’t been in New York this whole time, have you?”
He nodded with a smile and looked at the floating cups. “I may be really bad at this because I’m not exactly used to the cups floating.” Laughing, he bounced the ball down and watched as it flew up and landed in one of the cups. “Woo!” Josh threw his hands in the air in success before grabbing the drink and chugging the contents of it.
Mary grinned and slightly nudged Josh with her elbow. “Well, if I remember right, you have been the one saying the game would be boring otherwise. That, and…. hey!” She blinked in surprise. “So, either you are cheating - or you are just really good at this game and only tried to fool me here.”
Laughing at the shocked look on her face, he smirked. “I might be the best beer pong player at my school. Not bragging or anything, of course.”

He noticed she was uncomfortable and sighed. “Hey, if I’m doing something that is uncomfortable for you, let me know. I don’t want you uncomfortable around me, really. It’s the last thing I want.” He looked at the cd she hand handed him and nodded. “This is a good album, I can feel it. And it’s a surprise.”
At those words Kim gave Josh a smile and a kiss onto his cheek. “I just do not want you to spend so much money on me, remember?” she softly told him again. “Also because…. dunno, do you have a part-time job here in New York or something like that to earn some money on the side maybe?”
He gave a sheepish smile and sighed. “I know you don’t want me to spend so much money on you...I can try to not do it as much, but it’s gonna be tough.” He bit his lip when she asked the next question. “Not exactly. But that doesn’t mean I can’t get one!”
He chuckled a little and looked away from her stare, instead focusing in on his drink. “Yeah, yeah, we can do all of those things. Why not start with talking? We can talk about…what’s going on in your life right now?”
“Well sure! There’s a lot going on in my life right now. Some really good things that I’m pretty happy about.. for once. It seems like good things are finally starting to happen for me.. and my mom too.”
He smiled at her, seeing how happy she was. “It’s nice to see you happy, Maya. It looks good on you.”
“No, no, I should get going..” Josh stood and heard his stomach growl loudly. “You know what, on second thought. Breakfast would be great. Can I help?”
“Sure,” Bella nodded, “of course you can help, if you want.” Though, she was used to make breaksfast, or, meals in general, seeing she’d always made them for her father back in Forks. Walking over into the kitchen she had a look into the fridge. “So we have… eggs, it seems. And pasta leftovers from yesterday…”
He smiled. “Pasta leftovers sounds delicious actually. I understand if you think that’s weird, but most breakfasts for me is leftovers.”
He chuckled and shook his head. “The cup is supposed to be full. It’s part of the fun.” He grabbed a ping pong ball. “The cup it lands in, is the one you drink! I can demonstrate, if you’d like.”
The logic behind this still wasn’t something Mary fully understood, but she decided to give it a try anyway, just for the fun. “Okay then,” she nodded towards Josh, grinning. “Show me how it works!”
He nodded with a smile and looked at the floating cups. “I may be really bad at this because I’m not exactly used to the cups floating.” Laughing, he bounced the ball down and watched as it flew up and landed in one of the cups. “Woo!” Josh threw his hands in the air in success before grabbing the drink and chugging the contents of it.

He playfully nudged her back as they work. “Then I enjoy being mean.” Nodding, he followed her down the aisle. “Lead the way, pick what you like, and it’s on me. We can listen to it back at my place tonight before we make dinner.”
Kim didn’t feel exactly comfortable with Josh spending too much money on her - he’d already given her the bear, after all - so she just picked one album with popular dance music, the sort they often used for the cheerleader training. “This one then. And - can I ask what exactly you have planned to cook later?”
He noticed she was uncomfortable and sighed. “Hey, if I’m doing something that is uncomfortable for you, let me know. I don’t want you uncomfortable around me, really. It’s the last thing I want.” He looked at the cd she hand handed him and nodded. “This is a good album, I can feel it. And it’s a surprise.”
Chuckling he nodded to her cup as she walked over. “That’s for you, Hart.” He took a sip of his water and leaned back on his couch. “We can hang out and watch TV, or listen to music, or just talk. Whatever you want to do.”
“Thanks, uncle boing.” She took her cup and began taking a sip out of it. “Yeah, we can do that. What if we do all of those things? We have time, right?”
He chuckled a little and looked away from her stare, instead focusing in on his drink. “Yeah, yeah, we can do all of those things. Why not start with talking? We can talk about...what’s going on in your life right now?”
He gave a nod and walked into the kitchen, filling two glasses with water. Then he walked back into his living room area and set Maya’s cup on the coffee table before sitting on his couch and taking a sip of his water as he waited for her to come back out.
She walked back out of the room after she had completely finished changing, carrying her other clothes in one hand. “I’m baaaaack.” She laughed at her comment while she started making her way over to where Josh was.
Chuckling he nodded to her cup as she walked over. “That’s for you, Hart.” He took a sip of his water and leaned back on his couch. “We can hang out and watch TV, or listen to music, or just talk. Whatever you want to do.”

Josh’s face burned some when she kissed his cheek. “Well, it’s true.” They stopped at an aisle that looked to have more of her music in it. “It’s one of the reasons I like you as much as I do.” He paused. “Is this the section you were talking about?”
“You are making me blush again. That is mean….” It was a weak complain, though, and Kim was only lightly nudging Josh’s arm with her elbow. “And yes. That is the section we are talking about,” she nodded. “Let’s see if we find some of the music I’ve used to always play in Middleton…”
He playfully nudged her back as they work. “Then I enjoy being mean.” Nodding, he followed her down the aisle. “Lead the way, pick what you like, and it’s on me. We can listen to it back at my place tonight before we make dinner.”
“You have to try and get the ball in the cup with one bounce…or one throw in this case I suppose, since they are floating. Then if it lands in the cup, you drink the entire thing as quickly as you can.”
“Okay. Makes sense,” Mary gave Josh a nod. “Though, there is one thing I do not understand - why do we throw a ball into a cup filled with soda? Or will the one we throw the ball in be empty, different from the rest?”
He chuckled and shook his head. “The cup is supposed to be full. It’s part of the fun.” He grabbed a ping pong ball. “The cup it lands in, is the one you drink! I can demonstrate, if you’d like.”
