There I was. I was entering the familiar surroundings of the local skatepark. I never thought of myself as what I am now, wearing black skulls, chokers, combat boots. I always wanted to stay the bubbly, loud, confident little boy I had been for the last 16 years. That Zach was different. This one, was free. Quiet, alone, but free. He didn't live to the standards of the populars. He lived his life secluded from the outside world, only speaking to his 3 close friends.
I never expected to see her. But there she was. Her long brown hair framing her face and two Emerald green eyes. She wore a grey beanie, a off-the-shoulder black top with a skull and a tank top underneath. She had on ripped blue skinny jeans and black sneakers. She was sitting there. Blasting, Panic! At The Disco music through small, flimsy earbuds. She looked up, her head back. She was humming and drumming her fingers on her thigh.
I gulp. I haven't spoken since last week, the last time I saw Liam, Mitchell and Parker. "Uh... Hi." I say in a raspy low voice, trying it out for myself. She looks oblivious to me. I tap her shoulder. She looks up, her music still playing. She takes out an earbud. "H-hi." She whispers. "Um... Are you new?mi haven't seen you around before. "What, its your territory?" She seems annoyed. "N-no, I was... Just wondering. Uh. Bye." I walk away. "See ya around." I hear faintly behind me as I scurry away. I grin a bit. Just a bit.
That night, i couldn't sleep. I get up and open my window. I climb out and jump off my roof into some bushes. I free myself and start walking to nowhere. I close my eyes and suddenly feel my body clash with another. My eyes shoot open before I crash into a familiar face. I hold out my hand and grab her before she falls, gathering my bearings. She gasps and stumbles back. "Uh... Hi..." She says quietly. It suddenly starts to rain hard. We don't care. She just grabs my hand and pulls my to a tree. She sits down and motions for me to. I sit and we just... Well, sit there. It wasn't awkward... Just comforting.
Then, after a good ten minutes, she grabs my face and kisses me. I don't question it, I'm stunned, but I kiss her back. After maybe 5 seconds, she pulls away and smiles. Slightly, but its there. "So, are you gonna tell me your name, orrrrrrr..." I look at her sparkling emerald eyes. We smile from our eyes. "Hinojosa. Stacy Hinojosa." She kisses me again then leaves. Disappearing just as fast as she appeared. I smile a legit smile and walk in the opposite direction. I don't know if I will see her again. I just don't want to forget this moment. The moment that Stacy Hinojosa changed my life for the better.
