The first one who I can't seem to conquer.

Pov Astraea Mandane

It's the start of our summer vacation, but instead of spending it going to the beach or go to a lot of places, I am just here reading novels like a total bookworm.

As of now I am walking to go to the coffee shop to read there for the change of environment.

I really love to read here.

As I walk inside the cafe, the place is always full of crowds hanging out and people walking in and out getting their coffee for the day despite that, this place is so relaxing for me. At times I am always alone when I go here but that's because I love my solitude, I love being with just  by myself because it brings comfort to me.

I go to the counter and ordered my favorite ice coffee,

"One iced Caramel Machiatto please." 

'Sure, please take your seat first and we will just deliver it to you.'

Moments later the staff delivered my order, and I can smell the beautiful aroma of the coffee.

To who ever discovered coffee I thank you deeply for your hard work, how can anyone don't like coffee.

Well to anyone who dislike or avoids coffee it's your loss, you are missing one of the best thing in life.

After adoring my coffee, I continue reading my book. I am currently reading one of the best part of the book where both the male and female lead are in the church saying their wedding vows for each other,

' He puts the wedding band on the bride's finger while saying the phrase, “I give this ring as a sign of my love.” He said those words with full of love and passion that can be seen in his eyes.

"Someday, when I achieve my goals and I already fulfill my responsibilities I hope someday I will get to marry someone I love---

everything was great not until someone and that someone just have to break my fantasies.

'----I didn't know you also go here.' He said.

I glared at him and answered.

"Well now you know, besides who are you?"

'Ouch you already have forgotten about me? and what's with those snobby attitude huh? Let me remind you to who am I. I am Sam from yesterday and by the way I'm older than you so why that attitude?'

"Sam? ohh that Sam who judge me yesterday for focusing too much on my studies. Yeah I remember."

'HAHA for your information I am not judging you I'm just giving advice base on my experience 'cause when your older you would wish you we're young again.'

"Well---" ughh I don't -- I don't know what to say, usually in this kind of conversation I always have a rebuttal, I hate him.

'See you don't know what to say because deep inside you knew I am right.' He smirked.

**"No your not." **I just can't lose this argument, I never lose and he infuriates me.

'Base on that look on your face you must hate me, well you can hate me as much as you want but we both know I won.' Sam said with a smug look on his face.

I want to erase that look on his face. I hate to admit it and I won't admit it that he have won this lowkey battle of ours to whom is right.

**'You know Astraea you still have a lot of rice to eat.'**(meaning  if we want to be better or advanced in position or be more skilled. Rice then is  a symbol of experience and lessons in life.) 

"How do you know my name?" Is he a stalker? ha!

'I saw your name on your report card yesterday. Oh you must think I'm a stalker do you? HAHA.'

"No!! It's just strange that you know my name and you suddenly talk to me and everything." I blurted out in the speed of light.

'Woah, Calm down I'm just asking. But seeing you being so defensive I guess I'm right HAHAHA."

"Stop laughing and no I didn't I'm just explaining."

'Sure, I'll just pretend that I believe you.'

"Pretend? Yahh why wouldn't you believe me?" Your a complete fool astraea and a bad liar to add to that.

'Nice to meet you miss Astraea but I should be going now I had fun chatting with you.' " Well I don't."

"Yahh we are not done yet. Where are you going?"

He answered. 'Somewhere.' He walks out of the cafe and I followed him.

"Yahh I said we are not done yet."

'Ahh, we are.'

"No we are not I'm gonna win this."

'No, I clearly did----'  he was cut off by an elderly man.

'Hey young man, you shouldn't fight with your girlfriend like that, how can you both settle down in the future if right now you two fight like cats and dogs, young man if one day you are gonna settle down I suggest to follow these quote " Happy wife Happy life" women are always right.' He said. He pat Sam's shoulders and walked away while shaking his head.

I'm not his girlfriend though.

'Ahh well then let's just say you won, if it helps you sleep at night HAHAHAHA.' Sam said.

"Ugh whatever this is pointless anyway." I hate him more.

Later that evening........

Aishhh, that--that Samuel really infuriates me he--he ugh god I hate him.

Did I just have been defeated by him to a lot of arguments in just a short period of time??

I can't believe this. Ohh your on Samuel Chavez someday I'll be able to beat you.

He is the first one who I can't seem to conquer.
