"Hey, don't sweat it." Niko said, he kneeled down, to help her pick her stuff up.

She paused, staring at the ground. "My inhaler," she murmured, "I'm so sorry, where's my inhaler?" She looked all around and couldn't see it.
Niko paused, alongside her, and then felt around for it.
"You check your pockets?"
He looked around too. He'd checked almost everywhere. This poor thing.
Ashera, seeing what had happened, rushed over to help the girl who'd dropped her things. She seemed to be looking for something, but Ash wasn't sure what. "Is everything alright? What happened? Is there something I can do to help?" She rambled, attempting to help look for whatever the girl had lost.
"I think there's a small store down the road, I can get you a new one if you need it." He offered looking at her. Just then, his hand fell upon something.
"No no, It's prescription and they cost a lot without insurance, I really need it, I'm running late," she was starting to get panicked.
Millie nad drowned out partially most of the commotion, but looked up at the guy helping the girl. Something clicked in her brain and she closed her computer up and when over and asked him something " Hey, what's your name? I might be wrong but you look familier." She said, taking in his jawline and the scent that came off his shirt. Millie played with her hair and blinked slowly, waiting for him to answer back.
"Niko, But yuou can call me 'A', if you want, what's up?"." He said, still looking, he pulled it out from under a table, a smsll bottle with a mouthcap on the side.
"This it?" He said to the new girl.
"So… A. You'd go to school near north carolina ridgmy?" Millie said, questioning herself of why she did this as a sudden blush crawled across her face, she had no idea why though
"Okay go make out somewhere else. I need my inhaler," she huffed at them.
"Yes!" she said, grabbing it out of his hand. Her shirt was still covered in latte but she didn't have time to change. She looked the girl up and down. What kind of jerk flirts with a guy who's looking for an inhaler?
Millie looked down at the girl, Laughing and helping her up, another thing clicking in her head " You need some help? I could pay for some water for you. I just had desavu." Millie smiled at her. " I haven't gotten your name yet, what is it? " She asked, smiling genuenly.
"Ahem." Niko said, looking at the poor latte covered lady. He took off his coat. "Here, we can't have you going to school like that!" He handed it to her.
"I'm fine on my own, thanks," she muttered coldly as she handed Niko five dollars for the latte she ruined, "I'm late for school. Carry on, heteros." She shoved her inhaler into her back and stalked out of the coffee shop.
Millie's heart sank as she backed away from Niko, Tears welling up. She swore she wasn't flirting with him. She was just curious. So Millie just stood there, laptop half out of her back, her hands shaking and her eyes glassy. She couldn't run, and she had no clue why she was over-reacting so much.
"It's fine, I'm good." He waved the money away, and turned back towards the other inhabitants of the shop. "Yeah, I go to Ridgmy. But you won't usually see me there." He sensed something was wrong with the brunette in front of him.
Ash walked back to her spot on the couches, hurt that the girl had seemed mad at all of them. She pulled out her book, trying to distract herself from her mind. She knew she hadn't done enough to help the girl and that just made her feel worse.
"I'm fine, thanks," she responded from the doorway. She saw Millie's reaction to her words, her face all screwed up looking like she was about to burst into tears. March rolled her eyes. The girl looked pathetic. She almost felt bad for her, but who the hell starts crying in the middle of a coffee store? What an attention seeker. Niko would take care of it. She turned out of the coffee shop and headed to school, hoping she wouldn't bump into any of them in the halls.
Millie blinked, sensing the space between her last words to him, a tear running down her face. She looked up and smiled at him out of greif, and went back to sit at her table, slowly but surely. Wishing he would followbehnd, she turned around, "Pardon my manners, I guess I did something wrong in this situation. I think I'm gonna go sit down for a few…" Millie sighed, almost passing out from how blurry and unreal everything felt
"Hey… You did alright… You volunteered to help. I think that's more than enough." Niko proposed, kindly.
Ash stood, hearing the girl's sarcasm, "Hey, that's enough. We tried to help you, if you don't want our help next time then fine, but don't take it out on somebody else." she calmly stated before walking over to the other girl with the laptop. "Are you okay?" Ash asked her quietly.
Millie didn't want to cause anymore drama, enough people already hated her. " No, I just have these sudden urges, you don't have to say anything to me. I messed up and it wasn't okay, I'm just going to go sit down." Millie insisted. Almost tripping over herself, she made it to the table with almost half of the contents of her bag on the floor. She began to pick them up, feeling stupid.
"She's probably just stressed and upset about the spilled coffee. I wasn't your fault." Ash reassured the girl, trying to let her know she did nothing wrong.
" Yeah, yeah totally, she wasn't just pissed at me because I was curious… right?" Millie looked up at the girl, genuenly curious to what her answer was.
"You don't have to worry, I don't think we hate you. I don't." He said, kneeling to help her pick up her stuff, this was actually his third time today doing this.
" Nah It's fine you don't have to help, It's just a few odd things in he…." Millie trailed off, putting her hand in the bag and bringing it out of blood running down her finger wasn't her plan. She began to feel nervous so she just stuck her hand in the bag again, the cut worsening and deepning.
"Right. I'm sure she was just mad about the coffee." Ash smiled at the girl bending down to help her with her stuff as well. "The name's Ashera but I go by Ash." she introduced herself, pausing picking up a pen to hold out her hand to the girl.
"Is something wrong," Ash asked, noticing the girl was hiding her hand, "What's wrong with your hand?" she finished.
Millie gulped, trying to remember what she put in her bag to cut it this deep. Her hand was numbing by the second, she could tell it was beginning to cut through an atery. She looked up and faked a smile, shoving her hand deeper into the bag, " I, I don't know what your talking about… my hand is just, in my bag." Millie replied, wincing a bit.
"Yeah, are, are you OK?" He asked.
