I plop down in my chair and the image of the boy slowly slips back into my head. I grab my sketch book and my pencil as fast as I can and start to sketch every detail of the boy I saw today. After I sketch him I grab my coloring pencils and do my best to match the unique color of his tea green eyes and his Carmel brown hair. I don't know why I'm so fascinated by the boy but I don't stop, even when my hand starts to cramp up from so much drawing and coloring, until I'm completely done with the boy.

Sense I don't know the boys name I have began to call him the boy with the black jacket. Because that's what I remember most about the boy, his black jacket and his tea green eyes.
I jump when my mother opens my door and says "Good night pip. I love you." "Love you to mom. Night." I say. As she walks across the room to give me a hug and kiss before bed I flip my sketch pad closed so she can't see it. After she shuts the door and I hear her foot steps on the bottom of the stairs I open my sketch pad back up and observe the pictures I have sketched of the boy in the black jacket. 'He so handsome' I think to myself as I look at the picture.

I decide to sit in my window seal to let my hand have a rest and to gaze out at the sky. But to my surprise when I look outside the window I see the boy with the black jacket. He staring at me again, now there is nothing to disturb us this time. It is an instant stare off. We both are gazing into each others eyes. And then all the sudden he smiles so bright he makes the stars in the sky look dim, and I can't resist by to half smile back.
I look down at the floor shyly, and when I look back up I see him running down the street to somewhere. And suddenly I long for him to stay and stare at me again, just so I can see his star light smile again. And as this thought crossed my mind I realize I have a huge smile on my face that I can't seem to wipe off my face. And when I fall asleep that night I have a dream of the boy in the black jacket.

I see his tea green eyes out from the darkness. They are sparkling so brightly and I just want to watch them forever, but that doesn't happen cause as soon as the dream started it ended and I hear a dim 'beep' sound that I very aggravated about. And then I realize it's my alarm clock and the boys eyes start to fade away and my eyes flutter open to where my empty lonely room awaits me. I lay there for a few more seconds, just so I can picture the boy in my head one last time, and then I hop out of bed for school.
