The Lima Bean was Westerville Ohio's very own take on Starbucks. It was generally where anyone that lived by went for their coffee needs. This included the boarding school, Dalton Academy for boys. As the school held home for around nine hundred, hyperactive boys, the local coffee shop was always full of blue blazers with red piping. In fact on days when there wasn't one Dalton student in the shop, people generally started to worry. However not many days went by when the workers didn't see a flash of blue and red and heard the sound of the schools singing group, The Warblers.

Tuesday 13th January, anyone who knew what day it was would understand that today was the day that Jeff Sterling visited his local coffee shop. Jeff was a well-dressed Dalton Academy student and Warbler, his Tuesdays were always much the same. Wake up at 7:30am, get washed, get dressed and then visit the Lima Bean as this was the earliest he got up all week and he figured a warm beverage and a cool walk would wake him up and ready him for the day. Today was much the same as any Tuesday. His alarm sounded at 7:30, but today Jeff was even more tired than usual, without thinking he grabbed his alarm clock and threw across the room as he couldn't make the thing shut up. With the loud crash he sat upright in his bed realising what he'd done. 'Why did I do that?' he sighed to himself as he rubbed his red eyes. He then threw back his bed sheets and with a stretch and a shiver dragged himself to the now broken alarm clock and squinted hard. He picked up two of the largest pieces looked at the mechanics inside and sighed again, 'no way I can fix this' he thought to himself and threw them back on the floor. He then, in a zombie like pace, walked to the bathroom, and threw one of his arms in the air as if to say 'I'll clean that shit up later.'

After twenty minutes he returned to his room to find Wes sat on his sofa with a large tray. Jeff squinted at the tray, Jeff's eye sight was rather poor without his glasses or contacts he couldn't see hardly anything at all especially on a morning, and an early one at that.

'Jeffrey Sterling! I bought you this for your birthday and no you've broken it!' Wes shouted at a still really tired Jeff.

Jeff at this point was still only in his boxer shorts, but with nine hundred boys living in one school they all kind of got used to seeing each other in barely any clothes. However Wes was a little different, he was old fashioned in certain ways, and he got embarrassed easily. When he finally did realise that Jeff was half naked he threw the tray of clock parts on Jeff's sofa and stormed out of the room. Jeff laughed to himself and walked to his dresser and pulled out his white shirt, uniform trousers and tie and walked to the bathroom, not forgetting clean underwear. Then he returned to the bathroom.

After another half an hour of Jeff attempting to flatten his untameable fringe he was finally ready to visit one of his favourite places. The Lima Bean. He grabbed his blazer and his long black coat, pushed his glasses on and set off for the door, not forgetting his Gryffindor scarf. Jeff really did love Harry Potter. Just as he set off down Dalton's long dark corridors he heard a roar from Wes and David's dorm room, he peaked inside to see David throwing all of Wes's uniform shirts on the floor. 'Keep your shit out of my drawers!' David yelled at an angry Wes who was running round their dorm recollecting his things. Jeff laughed lightly and kept on walking, all he could think was how lucky he was to have his very own dorm. Sometimes he did really get lonely and wondered what it would be like when he finally did get a roommate. But for now, he kind of liked being alone…

He finally reached the main Dalton entrance and pushed open the heavy wooden door. In doing so a blast of cold air hit him straight in the face. He quickly entered the unpleasant weather and banged the door shut. At Dalton, if you left the door open too long on a winter's day you could get punished badly, as their heating bills were through the roof during the winter and letting in more cold air just added to the problem. Frost covered the courtyard flower beds and patches of ice were dotted the path like a pattern. Jeff walked carefully, but ended up looking like Bambi with his long skinny legs. He slipped and skated all the way to the coffee shop until he could finally see the Lima Bean to save him from this wintery horror. He started to walk quicker when he could finally see it. But unfortunately this wasn't his best idea. He fell straight on his bum, 'ahhh' he yelped, and rubbed his back as the cold and pain headed straight up his spine. As familiar voice shouted 'Jeff!' as they exited the Lima Bean. Jeff looked up to see a pair of big brown eyes looking at him. 'N-Nick?' Jeff squinted as his glasses had fallen off during the fall.

Nick grinned at his lanky friend and quickly passed him his glasses. Jeff took them with a smile and gain sight. 'Th-thank you Nick!' Jeff said and blushed but the cover of winter just made it look like he was cold. Nick pulled Jeff to his feet and beamed a smile at him. 'You okay now?' Nick asked, a fog of cold air emerged from Nick's mouth as he spoke. Jeff nodded and rubbed his glasses on his coat to clear the dirt and little amount of snow that covered the path. 'Take it easy' Nick said grinning at Jeff and stroked Jeff's arm, which sent tingles up Jeff's arm an. Nick then carried on up the path to return to Dalton. Jeff turned and watched him walk away, sighing again. His face by now was as red as a tomato. 'Will he ever see me? Like really see me?' Jeff thought and headed up the path to the Lima Bean. He pushed open the door with a strong force as the door was heavy and the wind was preventing an easy entrance.

'Hurry and close that door, sweet pea!' Gloria, one of the waitresses, shouted to Jeff from the door.

Jeff smiled and did as he was told. Gloria was one of the elder workers and owner of the coffee shop; she managed to remember the name of every Dalton student that visited the shop. Jeff walked slowly to the till holding his back. 'Usual please Gloria!' Jeff said stuffing his hand in his pocket to find his wallet. Gloria nodded but then looked startled.

'I actually can't do that for you Jeff' She explained smiling softly.

Jeff looked puzzled, 'why?' he asked.

'Because I have to give you this!' She said pulling a hot chocolate from behind the coffee machine. 'This is a Lima Bean signature hot chocolate with extra cream, from your admirer!' she furthered he explanation.

Jeff was still completely puzzled, 'but who is my admirer?' he asked scratching the back of his head looking at the large mug covered in cream.

'That would be telling wouldn't it!' Gloria replied to him smiling, she then grabbed a cloth and headed to the tables to clean them leaving Jeff completely puzzled.

'My admirer?' Jeff said quietly but aloud, 'who could that be?'
