Looking into,
his violet eyes was so intoxicating, I could feel myself getting lost in them.
I've looked at many people before especially attractive people, but this...this was different. Looking at this stranger in front of me, I've never experienced this with anyone before. I felt as if hours had passed by, not one of us tried to look away, it was as if we were both waiting our whole lives for this very moment.
All I could hear was the faint sound of the old jukebox playing in the background, it seems as if I couldn't really hear the people around me. I was now sweating profoundly because no one has ever looked at me the way he did. It was also because I rarely really try to "dress to impress" as they say, for instance, I was wearing my dads old Nirvana t-shirt that had many stains on it with baggy jeans and a flannel three times my size. And although the hot stranger in front of me was wearing just a gray sweatshirt and jeans he looked like a runway model. And he was tall...really tall, his face seemed to have been carved by the greek gods themselves, and his long hair, the long hair was just the icing on the cake because men with long hair really are dangerously attractive.
I decided to look away first. This was the first time in my life that I've maintained eye contact this long with someone, let alone a stranger. I tried to look anywhere that wasn't close to those violet eyes, but I truly failed at that.
Suddenly I felt really self-conscious of myself, and I quickly hid my face in my book because anyone could probably see the ginormous sweat drops running down my face. But sadly, curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to take a huge risk, to look at him again. I slowly looked up from my book, he wasn't looking at me anymore as he was now looking around the diner to find a seat, but it was as if he could feel my eyes lingering on him as he looked at me again. But like the embarrassing idiot I am I quickly hid my face in my book. I slowly lifted my eyes to look at him again, and he was looking right at me, for a moment we looked at each other again, and he smirked at me. HE SMIRKED AT ME, I cannot believe he just smirked at me, oh god if I were to drop dead right now, I wouldn't mind because all I can think about was the way he smirked at me.
This time he was the one to look away and sat at a booth a few rows ahead of me, but the problem was that we both had a clear view of each other, and he was looking right at me again with that dangerous smirk of his. And I looked away like the coward I was.
But as I was lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice cherry right beside me. "He's a cutie." Cherry said with humor laced in her voice. "AHH!!! Oh gosh I think I just had a heart attack." I was so distracted I failed to notice cherry was beside me.
"Oh honey, he's a real cutie...he won't stop looking at you!" as cherry whispered to me. "I...he's not looking at me!" wrong he totally was but a part of me refused to think that someone like him could ever look at someone like me. "Cherry why would someone like that ever look at me? Now I think your mistaken." My voice was laced with confusion and a hint of sadness that I failed to notice. "He totally was! Now you should go and talk to him!" she said with a smile. "No way, not even if you paid me, I could never talk to someone like him." I said as I looked towards him again, but his eyes were scanning the menu in front of him. "Oh, honey we all get nervous sometimes, how about I talk to him for ya." He was now looking at us. "Omg would you look at the time, cherry I have to go home I'll see you tomorrow!" I said frantically. I shoved my book into my tote bag and quickly grabbed my skateboard as I also said a quick goodbye to cherry and rushed towards the exit. But what I failed to notice was that the stranger with violet eyes never looked away from me as I left the diner.

I was too distracted to ride my skateboard right now, and the feeling of regret started to take over my whole body. I know I should have stayed; I know I should have said something to him, maybe ask him what his name was or maybe his number, but I was a coward as I always was.
As I kept walking down the sidewalk, I noticed that the once crowded street was now peaceful, as people were heading home, restaurants and shops were also closing for the night. The night sky was full of stars and a bright full moon.
All I could think about was him. My thoughts were clouded by those stupid violet eyes of his, and that damn smirk that set my heart on fire. But I knew that after tonight, I would never see those violet eyes of his again. And half of me was relieved about it, but the other half was heartbroken and longing to see him one more time.
I was now walking on an empty street heading back to my empty apartment again, as dad was on another business trip far away. When you've been alone for so long it really starts to feel normal, but sometimes I just wish there was someone waiting for me to come home.
As I kept walking what I failed to notice was multiple footsteps behind me. And now was when my senses kicked into place as I looked behind me to see three men were following me, and that's when I broke into a full sprint. I couldn't believe I was running, me and running was probably the most bizarre sentence to ever exist. I couldn't remember the last time I really ran this fast; I think it was for a book sale a few years ago. I kept running and I look behind to see that I lost them, I then found an alley way to take a breather, my lungs were on fire, and I couldn't stop wheezing, I sounded like an animal dying at this point.
Now my first mistake was running into a dark alleyway with only one exit, which was now blocked by those three men I desperately tried to run away from.
"Hey sweetheart want to have some fun?" the first hideous man said with flirtation mixed in his tone. Now a million thoughts were going through my head, but as the idiot I was I had to say something incredibly idiotic that tops any other idiotic thing I have ever said in my life. "um...by fun do you mean reading Shakespeare?" now I did it, who the hell says, "reading Shakespeare is fun", I really don't have braincells, and I don't think I ever did.
"Shakes...who?" one of them said. "Who the fucks that?" the other one said. Okay I guess I do have a few braincells. "Oh no sweetheart we're here to have another kind of fun." And as the first guy said that disgusting sentence, they all started to corner me. Great. Just great. This is probably the most eventful day I've ever experienced.
"You all better back away, or I'll...kick your asses!" I said as I tried to be as intimidating as I could, but honestly, I think I was about to pass out. "Really three against one? I think we would win." The other hideous guy said, and seriously I'm not exaggerating when I say hideous.
Now there was one thing I could think of at that moment. And that was to start swinging my skateboard around like some lunatic. I started swinging my precious skateboard around to get them to back away and it was working, but there was just one problem. My arms were on fire, and once again I felt like my lungs were screaming at me to quit any physical exercise, because I don't think I've ever really worked out like ever in my life.
Well sadly that plan failed as I drop my skateboard, and my arms fell to my sides like limp noodles. The three men were now all smirking as they got closer to me, and I tried to scream but nothing came out, my body felt paralyzed as I stayed in place.
But before they could even lay a hand on me, someone else's voice was heard from towards the entrance of the alley way. And when I looked up, I saw those same violet eyes looking right into mine with a smile across his face,
"Sorry princess, I hope I'm not too late."
