My Stranger

Chapter 1 - Checkmate

"I lost..." I mumbled in defeat, looking down at The chess board. "maybe you'll win next time" he said with soft voice, I looked him deeply in the eyes and to my surprise, his eyes were showing that he meant it, I almost cried since he didn't mean it to come out as rude like the other players. "yeah maybe" I said with a small smile on my face. "you'll be a great chess champion one day!" he said while slowly standing up from his chair. My face immediately brighted so much up and out of nowhere a huge smile came out and for once I didn't mind losing a game of chess. "good game, thanks for playing with me, I wish you luck for your next game" I said while steering him into his eyes, I turned around and started walking away. I can't believe it, I just lost my one chance to be a chess champion, how did it happen.. I got outside and thought about his technique for a minute, "I was so close to winning how did I fuck that up?!" I said with an angry tone. But the anger quickly disappeared when I took a moment to think about him,he was actually quite charming. I couldn't stop thinking about his beautiful emerald green eyes, and it even seemed like he had an amazing fashion sense. Wow he really was fantastic after all, like a character from a fantasy book with that one perfect guy in it. Before i could even think anymore i looked at my phone to see the time, to my surprise I'd already been standing outside in the cold for half an hour thinking about a random man I didn't even know. It was probably time for the finals now, "what if i missed it?" I said out loud with a worried face. I ran back inside and I just made it on time, there he was he actually won over everyone and now in the final. "that's bloody awesome" I whispered to myself quietly, it was a every slow but exciting game, everyone was screaming at them what to do next even though they lost against them, I was the most quiet among everyone but I was cheering for him inside. And there he did it, the last move his opponent was was stuck, no matter what he did with his king he would've lost. He noticed me in the crowd and did a cute little wave to me, I waved back with a smile, he quickly got distracted when he was about to get a medal. The coach took his hand and put it in the air, everyone started cheering even louder. He got a gold medal and got taken photos off, I was so close to going up to him and asking for his phone number but I was too scared. I turned around after just going around for an hour and was about to walk out, but then someone loudly said "stop that lady!" and guards came in front of me stopping me from going home, I was in shock and I looked around at everyone with a confused and scared face, but then I realized it was him. He came up to me and said "thank you, you may now go" to the guards, he kindly asked for my phone number, while making sure I wasn't uncomfortable with him asking for it and he had the most cute and worried face while explaining to me thats its only if not. "I'm sorry I completely understand if you don't want me to have it!" he said. I gave him a confident smile and pulled a piece of paper out my pocket as well as a pen, I Wrote down my number and gave it to him, he was looking down in the ground so he didn't see anything. He had an uncomfident semi sad face, but his face quickly brightened up with a huge smile and his cheeks slowly and surely Turing red, "thank you, thank you so much! I can't wait to get to know you more! Again thank you!" he turned around running away with happiness in his eyes, I took out my phone for a moment to make sure I still had a good amount of time left but before I knew it I had been here an hour longer then I was supposed to, I quickly turned around stroming of and calling my mother while running to the train, "I'm so sorry mom, I know I promised to get those packages home with me for you but I don't have time for it! I'm really sorry ma!" I said, I really didn't want to disappoint her. "it's alright sweetheart, as long as you get home safe it'll all be just fine, oh and sweetie? Are you in a hurry? It sounds like your running!" she replied. "yeah mom, don't worry about me! Im just trying to get to the train in time I'm scared I won't make it" I said while losing my mind about the fact I might not even make it to the train in time, she quickly answered "it's okay sweetie! I'll hang up so I don't slow you down call me when you're on the train" "okay mom don't worry" I said while running even faster I could see the train it was just about to leave. "Wait! Please wait for me!" I screamed to the last worker walking into the train, "he didn't hear me.." this feels like a really unlucky day. It's cold and windy, and this station is all gloomy and dark, this feels like the place I'll be murdered. when does the next train come, I cant stay here forever. "hey Siri" "I'm listening" she said "when does the next train from LA come?" I asked with a worried tone "the next train comes at 10:50 pm" she answered, "thank you for your help Siri" I politely said. It was quiet and dark, I turned on flash on my phone and found a bench. I sat down on the ice cold bench and goosebumps came up through my entire body, I had a strange strong feeling in my stomach that someone was watching me, I never really felt this way, it felt like I was being watch from every angle yet I kept saying to myself that it was nothing and I was just being peranoid. I took my gloves out of my pockets since I didn't have time to put them on my fingers were ice cold, I took them on and I felt like I was an ice cube. My fingers slowly warmed up but the rest of my body were still cold, it was now 10:15 I couldn't seem to find heat anywhere but my fingers. My fingers started to be way too warm for my liking and so I took my gloves off, I put them right beside me so I would remember them, right after I got really thirsty and decided to look for a vending machine with something to drink, I stood up and looked around, nothing. I decided to walk a little to the left hoping to find one, and I was in luck, there was a bunch of vending machines, some full of candy and some full of drinks. I went over to one and brought a can of soda, I wanted something sweet for once. I went over to a different one and got some m&m's, happy with what I could get from them I went back over to the bench, I took a sip of the soda and ate some of the m&m's. I looked down at my phone and it was now 10:47 "only three minutes till the train should be here" I was so happy I could finally get out of this creepy weird station, I saw the train coming and quickly drank the rest of my soda while putting the rest of my m&m's in my pocket. The train stopped and I quickly threw the can of soda in the trash and ran to the entrance of the train and got Inside, I took a seat right next to a window and looked outside, that's when I realized I forgot my gloves. I went to the other side of the train wanting to get them back but, I saw a person standing there sniffing and touching my gloves weirdly. I was about to go outside and ask the person to give me back my gloves but the train started moving, and I lost another pair of gloves just like that, I can't belive it. Why do I always get lost myself or lose something, I went back to my seat and sat down I fell asleep and started dreaming about the handsome guy I met while playing a game off chess. Before I knew it it was my time to get of, I woke up by a lady saying it was the last stop, I couldn't thank the old lady enough. I quickly got all my stuff and got of the train, "almost home" I took a sweet good old trusty bus the rest of the way, I couldn't stop thinking about the charming guy. And the weird person who took my gloves. It was a weird but good day I thought to myself, I got of the bus and walked a few thousand feet to my house. "I'm home!" ah yes, home sweet home, nothing can be better. I didn't get an answer so I got a little worried about my mother, I went around the house looking for her but then I saw her on the couch asleep. She had been waiting for me but fell asleep, how cute. It always warms my heart knowing my mother loves me enough to sleep on the couch so she could hear me when I got home, even though it's not good for her back. I put my backpack on the floor and carried my mother into her room, I put a blanket over her and  went out to the kitchen again, I completely forgot to call... I feel so bad, but at least I know she's safe now. She's getting old <3
