Overcoming It All

explosive

                        Him. This guy was stunning. He was sitting on the couch watching one of those Saturday morning cartoons. He had jagged shaggy brown hair that fell in his eyes, bright blue ones at that. He had a beautiful smile that could only belong to such perfection it was him. I wanted to know his name, his story, his life, his smile.

             Savannah was talking to one of the other nurses. I felt like a little kid being babysat but still wanting her to not leave me alone with all these other kids. I moved over to the couch and sat down next to the mysterious boy i wanted to know so much more about. He turned his head from the T.V. to smile at me. Me. I could feel myself blush and i looked away quickly. 

"Hey," His voice was deep and made me blush even more " Is today your first day, Level two?"

"yeah. What about you?' I almost choked on my words when i looked back to him.

"i'm at three"

'That's cool um i guess" My head was spinning. I never felt this way about a guy before. He put his arm around me

"don't worry kid, Stick with me and you'll have fun" He laughed "Hey what's your name?"

"Skylar Alexander' i replied half dazed because his arm was around me

"That's pretty, I'm Drake Auburn" He removed his arm to shake my hand

"That's a cool name" i said smiling trying a name out in my head myself. Skylar Auburn. Wait what was I doing i just met this guy, but it sounded pretty Skylar Auburn. 

I wanted to ask him why he was here. Did he cut, drink himself away, try to overdose? I was afraid that if i did ask he would get mad at me, if a person i just met asked me i would have.

"Why did you get brought here?" I lied not mad.

"uh just because my family thinks i'm mentally unstable, you know the usual" He laughed.

"You pretty cool Skylar, I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

"spectucular indeed" i said laughing at how the day took such an explosive twist.
