But it got even better when I saw her.

The girl sitting on the dock. Long blonde hair with ocean blue tips, skin the color of sand, eyes the color of crystals. She was so beautiful.

I immediately started walking towards her. She noticed and looks up at me. "Hey uh I'm uh Tom." "Well hello Uh Tom. My name is Ashley." Oh my. Ashley. That has to be the most perfect name for her. Ashley. I say it in my brain and it just feels so good to say. Ashley. Ugh. Quit saying that. Go back to talking.

"So uh do you live near here?" Oh my god. Of course she lives near here. Where else would she live. In the water?! " Uh um." She stutters. "I live near that creek over there." Over near  the creek is a rickety old house. It definitely hasn't been lived in for some time. "You live in that house?" I say with judge in my voice. She's obviously gets annoyed. "Yeah I do, you have a problem with that!?" I suddenly realize my mistake. "Oh I don't mean to be rude it's just-" "Just what. Just that a pretty girl doesn't live in a big fancy house. Or that someone can actually be poor." "Well I don't me-" "No. you already chose your words and you can't take them back." Ugh! Stupid! How could I be so rude?! "Well I guess I uh should leave." I walked away as fast as I could.

I turned around heading to the woods to try to find some peace. That's what the woods are for right? To try to find some peace? I walk out into the woods to try to find something to do. I try find a tree to climb and maybe if I ask my so called dad, if  he can buy me some rope and ply wood to build a tree house.
