Bye Goat ||Colentine||

2. Berries

I wanted to see that person again. I wanted to know their name or where they were from because I haven't seen them before in my village; knowing that they were on the other side of the river.

I sat on my bed not feeling sleepy enough to go to sleep, I just wanted to see them again.

I got from my bed grabbing a blanket to wrap around me. I figured that they may be hungry. So I went to the fields and got some raspberries, cherries and strawberries. I put them in a small bowl that I could carry.

It was windy and cold outside. I just kept walking til I found the person with the curls again. I wanted to find them.

I ended up in the same place as before near the river. I throw the blanket across the river and then jumped to the other side myself.

I got my guitalele sat down rested the fruit beside me and starting strumming a melody. Loud enough for someone to hear.

Minutes past and there was no sign of the person. My playing was making me tired since I haven't slept yet either. I was beginning to dose off slowly closing my eyes forgetting about my surroundings but just then I heard something infront of me.

I saw them again. I saw them going near the fruits and started eating them.

I was right, this person was beautiful. They're hair was a perfect color of blonde being short and curly. The ruffles on their outfit was perfect and adorable.

"Hey.." I whispered to them.

They looked up at me quickly as their fingers and mouth was covered in red due to the cherries they were eating. They sat there next to me looking at me slightly worried.

"I'm not going to hurt you." I said.

They were looking around as if they could run away from me.

"Please don't leave.." I said softly placing my hand on theirs, "what's your name?"

They didn't say anything they just kept looking at me with berries shoved in their face. They probably haven't eaten in some time judging by the way the fruit was almost gone.

"I'm sorry if I scared you last time, I'm Cole," I stated.

They slowly started eating the fruit again like they didn't feel threatened by my presence. Which was good but I wish they could start talking..

"Uh.. your name? What is your name?" I asked again.

They looked at me, down at the strawberry in their hand and back at me.

"My- my name is Clementine," they spoke softly.
