The Story Of Us: Book One

The Beginning

Michael's POV:
I swung on the swing gently at the park that was close to my house. Where I go to clear my mind and actually try to have some fun, away from the constant practicing with my brothers. Not that I hate it, I just want to have some fun and a break every now and then.

I heard this beautiful, soft laugh to my right. Looking up over towards the sound, I see a girl. A beautiful girl. Someone I've never seen before and I definitely would like to introduce myself, it would be a kind thing to do. Another girl, few years older than me by the looks of it is with her, which I'm guessing that it is her sister. But, I can only focus on the one on the swing..something about her. So, I finally took a deep breath and got up, walking to her. Her sister was the first to look up at me, then her as I smile shyly but kindly. "Who are you?" Asked her sister, not in a mean way. "Um.." I froze up for a short second than began speaking again. "I'm Michael, how are you girls?" They both smile softly at me, in a kind way, "I'm Michelle, this is my younger sister, Jennifer." I nod gently with a kind smile, "Beautiful names." I see them blush, making me get this feeling inside I've never experienced before.."Thank you." They say in unison.

It was a few minutes of silence, really awkward silence. I looked down and around a bit, trying to think of things to say. "So..I'm guessing you girls are new around here?" I asked, sitting down in the swing beside Jennifer. They both watched me, "Yeah. We just moved in down the street from here." Michelle said, smiling softly. I smiled kindly and softly as well, "That's cool! Welcome to Gary, I really hope you and your family likes it. Where are you guys originally from?" I ask, looking at them. "Wisconsin." Jennifer spoke softly, still smiling softly. "That's cool." I smile more, "What brought y'all to Indiana?" I added. "Well, our father got a huge promotion in his business so we've moved up here for now." Michelle said, nodding with a smile.

We all talked, Jennifer not so much though. I'm guessing she's shy, which I understand because I'm shy myself. So, if she is shy, I do respect it.
