The Leaf That Brought Us Together

Chapter 2: A New Friend

A week later. All week, I always saw him doing things. Things like walking, reading, talking, running and many more. All week I wondered what his name was, what are his hobbies, what are the books he's always reading, why is he running and more. And all week I also wished I could talk to him.. I didn't like him, I just wanted to get to know him better. I was walking towards the library to return the book that I've borrowed then I saw him entering the library. I stopped from walking. "Isn't that the guy? Did he just enter the library?? Should I ask him what's his name..??? Sigh I probably shouldn't, it'll be weird to just ask him what's his name." I thought.

I then continued walking towards the library. Six seconds later I entered the library and went to the librarian to return the book. After I did that, I went towards the sad section of the books and tried to find a book. Three minutes later I found a book that seemed interesting but it was too high for me. So I tried jumping, and after a few tries I finally managed to hold it but the book fell and was about to hit my face when suddenly a hand caught it. I turned to my right and saw him again for the who-knows-how-many time. I could feel my eyes widen and he asked "Are you okay?" "U-Uh o-oh I'm fine thank you.." I said while still loading my brain on what happened. Then I remembered that my hand was still raising so I immediately stopped raising my hand and stared on the floor embarrassed. 

The boy smiled then gave me the book, turned around and was leaving. "It's that guy again, isn't it? Should I ask him what's his name? But it'll be weird! Well it's now or never!!" I thought then I called "H-Hey!" and he turned around and asked "Hm? What is it?" Then I could feel my heart beating faster and I asked "What's your name?" The boy just stared at me for seconds and I was panicking. "W-What's he doing?? Why is he just staring at me? Does he think I'm weird? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I shouldn't have asked him!!" I thought. The boy then smiled and said "Samuel. My name is Samuel. What about you? What's your name?" he said. "Samuel..." I thought. I then said "Evelyn. My name is Evelyn." Then I smiled back at him. "Well Evelyn, it's nice to meet you." He said. "It's nice to meet you too. Can we be friends?" I said nervously. "Sure! Warning though I'm pretty annoying." Then he laughed and I chuckled. Then that's where everything started.

 A day later, it was finally Saturday. I woke up at 9 am, ate my breakfast and did my usual routine on Saturdays. An hour later I decided to go outside my dorm and walk on the park. I changed my clothes and went outside my dorm. A few minutes later as I was walking I saw him walking out of his dorm. He then noticed me and walked towards me smiling. "Hi Evelyn!" he said. "Hi Samuel" I greeted back. "Where are you headed to?" he asked me. "To the park, what about you?" I asked. "Oh well I just planned on walking and walking. Do you mind if I tag along with you?" he asked. "Sure, I don't mind." I said. Then we walked together towards the park. I was happy that I was finally walking and talking with someone because usually I was always alone. I didn't have friends before because no one talked to me so I didn't talk with anyone. One time someone tried talking with me but I was just so awkward that she just left.

A few minutes later we got to the park and just talked. We walked for about an hour then we both went back to our dorms. A few weeks later, he kept talking to me and hung out with me. I enjoyed talking with him and he seemed to enjoy talking with me too.
