She stood in my doorway. Her. Out of all the people in this town. It had to be her. Maybe God was trying to test me. Maybe God wanted to see if I could handle this. Or maybe God hated me and was trying to punish me for all the bad things ive done. But if he was, he definetly was doing it good.
She stood behind her mom, her eyes wide open and her face starting to go pale as soon as she saw me. Her mom looked at me and smiled. "Hi. I'm Wendy" She stook out her hand. I took it and shook it firmly. Something about Texan's. They love to shake hands. "Are your parents around? We live in the house over there" she pointed to the house next door "and we wanted to welcome you to the neighboorhood" she flashed her colgate smile. I gave her an attempted smile back as my mother came to the door. She shook hands with her mom and asked them to come in.
"Crissy, why dont you show this girl around our house" my mom said nonchalantly as her and Autumn's mom walked into the kitchen talking.
I looked at her. Her beautiful face. The one that's been haunting me all day. The one I haven't been able to keep out of my head. "Do you want to come to my room with me?" I asked very shyly. She looked at me with her beautiful eyes and nodded. I grabbed her wrist, my heart beat ringing in my ears, and dragged her down the hallways to my new bedroom.
The moving boxes lined up most of the floor. Most of them were filled with my music memorabillia and different punk-ish decorations. I dragged her delicate arm over to my bed and she slowly sat down.
"So, uh, Autumn" I said, blushing so hard my ears burned, "What kind of stuff were you talking about at lunch? Like the stuff you liked and were into. Maybe we have something in common" Other than being extremly awkward. I said that part in my head.
"Uh" she said slowly. "I like bands. And YouTuber's. And art. And um like a little bit of TV, I guess..." she drifted off and stared into space.
"Ah okay cool. Me too" I smiled at her. Her shoulders fell a little bit. Maybe she was starting to get comfortable. She seemed less tense. "What's you favorite band? Mine is probably like Pierce The Veil" Her head shot up and a smile drew across her face.
"Their one of my favorite's" she said with that beautiful smile. Maybe this could work out for us.
The next hour we just sat in my room and talked about bands and shows and YouTuber's. She knew a lot more than me, but I understood most of the things she was talking about. Everytime she would talk or look at me with those eyes my heart would flutter out of my chesy. Just listening to her talk made me so happy. She got less and less tense as time passed and eventually we were laughing and having fun like good friends. Something about this girl was special. Something about her was special.
My mother walked in about an hour and thirty minutes later with Autumn's mom coming in behind her.
"Its time to go sweetie" her mom told her. Autumn nodded and got up off my bed. It sprang up with a "boing!" and all of us started laughing.
"I'll see you tommorow. Maybe this time we will actually talk at school" I said to her with a huge smile. She smiled back shyly and nodded her head. She was about to walk out of my room when suddenly she turned around and walked over to me and threw her arms around me in a hug. I gasped when her arms wrapped around my stomach, and held my breath.
She smelled like honey. Her hair felt warm and the hug just made me instantly happy. I hugged her back and she backed away to my door. Her mom left my room and my house without another word except for goodbye.
"They seem really nice" my mom said to me as I flopped dramatically onto my bed. She walked out of my room to leave me alone to stare at the ceiling.
"Yes, she is" I whispered to myself, as I smiled in happiness for the first time in forever, her honey scent still lingering on my mattress.
