How She Gave Her Heart Away

Him.

My day had been terrible. I'd been bullied and pushed around and just now as I'm walking home from school (ditching) I trip and fall in a big mud puddle. I yell a cuss word. Then he walks out. My new neighbor. He has piercing blue eyes and gourgous brown floppy hair.
"Hey, need help? And ya know there is children in this neiborhood, right?" Eric smiles. His smile was perfect.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My day has just been terrible." I tell him while getting up.
"That sucks. I'm Eric, I just moved here like 4 days ago. And you are?" He says while helping me up.
"Um. I'm Brooklyn. And you are gourgous. Gosh sorry. That was weird. I should stop talking." I look away. I can feel my face getting hot so I look down.

I glance up and he is still looking at me. "What?"
"Nothing. You're just worth looking at." He says.
"Psh. Yeah right. I got to get changed. And I'm going to the mall if you want we, I mean , I can show you around. I don't mind."
"Sure that'd be cool. Just knock on my door when your ready."

I walk to my door and unlock it. I run to my room and throw my stuff on my bed. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I think. I call my best friend Jennifer.
"Hey cookie." She answers the phone.
" Omg! The neibor is hot!" I laugh.
"Ew!" Jen laughs
" No it turns out the old guy we saw the other day has a son and girl. He is hot!"
"Really?"
"Yes I got dips! I'm showing him around the area."
"Whateva girl. You can't have dibs on a guy. This isn't 3rd grade."
" I don't care I gotta get ready. Love ya bubbles!"
"Haha love you too. Call or text me later"
" alright." I hang up the phone.

I knocked on Eric's door. He comes running to the door.
"Hey I'm ready." He says.
We walk out the door and start heading to the park.
"So where did you come from?" I ask.
"California. "
" what made you leave to make you come to Louisiana?"
" my parents got divorced"
"Oh. Same here. Mine split when i was 7."
We talked for hours then we finally started walking back home.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**-*-(so on)
"Thanks for doing that with me." Eric says
"Anytime. I'm ditching school tomorrow to drive around, if you wanna do that too?" I laugh.
He laughs too, " Sure. Good night."
"Good night see ya tomorrow."
I walk inside to my room and lay down in my bed. I end up falling asleep. He made my bad day good.
