Chapter 17

CHAPTER 17:

As Melly didn't write Charlotte's bus in the morning, Charlotte usually sat alone.

But not today.

Today she was joined by a very attractive guy. With still-not-sure-if-they-are-blue-or-green eyes. And not-exactly-black hair. Named Jonathan. Or J for short. Did she mention attractive? Because he was.

She was blushing. Why was she blushing. He wouldn't have kissed her. Nope. Let's think of a different topic. How about, Oh, Charlotte. By the way. You're a fairy.

A fairy. That meant there was probably magic too. She had always believed in it. Even after the days of Disney.

She snuck a look at him. Was he just trying to mess with her mind? It seemed like he was in charge of the storm. Was that luck, or planning, or anything else but the only logical answer, which didn't even make sense?

She looked at him. He was stating out the window, oblivious to her. His eyes were a bluish green today. His long dark hair. Elegant facial structure. She went back to his eyes.

Which were staring right at her. "Enjoying the view, are we?" Charlotte began to blush. "Yep. The trees are really green today."

He looked at her, amused. "We're still in the neighborhood. There's like one tree." "And it happens to be green and pretty." "Prettier than me?" He asked. Charlotte started laughing. "Just a little" she held her fingers apart about an inch. "Well then. I'll take that as a compliment. Those trees are quite lovely." "Yes..." Charlotte trailed off. Jonathan noticed. "Are you okay Charlotte? You know. I thought of a better nickname. Charlie. See? I can be creative. So yeah, are you okay?" He looked at her inquisitively with eyebrows raised. She blinked, trying to clear her head. "Yeah I'm fine. If I'm Charlie, then you're, hmmm, what's your middle name? "It's William." "Okay. That was no help. You're going to be... I still can't think of something. Crap. Name a random object. Or animal. Food?" "I'll just be J. You're still Charlie though." Charlotte sighed exaggeratedly. "Fine." She considered something for a moment. "But I'll have something better before English. Probably."
