It was just a normal day like always accept I was feeling rather independant. I get that weird feeling sometimes... It makes me want to go for a walk around the island. So I did. I walked to the magic island, atleast thats what I call it. during low tide there is a perfect rock pathway to this little island near my house.

When I got to the island I went through the "magic jungle", I like to call it that to make it seam more special and interesting. I know every root and leaf on that path so I ran through it, watching the ground and leaping over the rocks and twigs in my way. Winding though the pathway I came to a spot where there was another path added to the original one. I had never seen it before so I decided to explore. the path was rougher, especially because it was probably only one time and one person going through it. I hoped it wasnt today that this stranger had gone through it, because it looked like they hadn't retraced their steps back to the original path. I took a few more slow, steps forward. Maybe I should turn around, what if its an insane person?

My acusation turned out to be right. There right in front of me, was a person who I had NEVER seen before on Peaks Island. And that was saying something beause its so small here that I can bike around the whole thing in 15 minutes and we always know when another person is coming to stay. They must have arrived on the early ferry this morning. It was a boy, he was around my age probably a little older. He had dark skin and..... WOW! Amazing eyes! He was really cute! Thank god I got stuck with a cute guy instead of an insane old man. He was well dressed too, wearing a grey sweater with argile patern on the front and he was wearing jeans that were not exactly skinny, but they were perfect for his body. He wasnt ripped or anything but he was perfect size. He was also wearing Nike's. A bonus that he was a Nike lover and not a shoe "traitor". He was wearing a purple fitted cap that had some logo on the front but I couldnt quite make it out. 

"hello?!" he quetioned me while he took his headphones out, He had been listening to Bruno mars "When I was Your Man", I could tell because it was playing really loud. I loved that song! Oh crap he probably relized that I was checking him out, it had only lasted a couple seconds but it was still kind of obvious. 

"uhm.....hi" I said quietly and uncomfortably clearing my throat and shaking my head to make myself stop staring at his cuteness. Argh! I was making a fool out of myself, but who was I kidding I always make a fool out of myself.

"err can I help you?" he asked me. Then he quickly checked me out as well and smiled. I was glad I wasn't the only person who did stuff like that. 

"No, not really. I come ot this little island all the time, I just noticed that there was a new pathway where you had walked. So I decided to see where it lead, i didn't think I would find anyone though." I laughed, he laughed back. I was hoping and praying that he wasn't a creeper, because I had basically told him that I live here on the island. 

"Ya, I do too! I didn't know anyone else came out here."

"Wait, you live here? On Peaks Island?"

"Uhhh yeah. I've seen you around! everyone calls you square right?" I was so confused, how had I not noticed someone who lives here? "I thought you had noticed me too."

"I, um...I don't know how I missed you? I know everyone who lives here and all the stuff that goes on here."

"Its ok, I just moved here last night. We got in kind of late, thats probably why you didn't realize."

"Oh. Okay, I feel a little less confused now." He laughed again, he was really friendly! I was glad that he wasn't a jerk, he was too cute to be a douche.
