James first met her three years before, at his Aunts house. It was the same time of year and he only talked to her for that one weekend, but by the end of the weekend they became inseparable. At the time, she was about an inch or two taller than him. He stood only 5'2 and was skinny as a rail. She was skinny too, which he liked about her. He was usually was picked on for his size, for he was the skinniest in his grade of course. He liked it, only because it helped him realize he wasn't the only one. Cassidy was the girl he was looking for, one who made him all bubbly inside, one he could tell anything too, even though they just barely met only two days before. He felt so emotionally attached to her as they just laid in the autumn leaves. . .
"Why do you have to leave so early in the morning?" James said.
"I don't really know. My dad said something about having to see my step-dad" Cassidy said.
"You have to be kidding me.. I wish you could stay with me forever beneath these stars..."
She turns onto her side and looks at him with her big, blue eyes. He realizes shes looking at him, he tilts his head and looks back with his own blue eyes.
"Really? Why would you want to do that?" she says underneath her blushing cheeks.
"Maybe because, with you , I don'tfeel so small in a world so big. Maybe because your amazing to me, like a sweet dream I don't want to wake up from. Maybe because even beneath these stars you shine bright, and because...I'm falling for you..." he says, blushing also.
She stares at him, with a gaze that reflects her beauty. He looks back into her eyes.
"James, I'm going to miss you when you leav....."
He interrupts her with his finger on her lips and leans in. She leans in, watching his eyes slowly close, then she closes hers, and kiss. While kissing a very subtle breeze carries a slight chill. They stop, and get closer to one another.
She shivers while saying " I'm seriously going to miss you now.."
He leans up unzipping his hoodie. " Take this, your cold and I want you to have this to remember me by"
She takes it while saying, " When am I going to see you again to give this back to you?"
"The next time we meet.." James says shrugging and wearing a half grin.
The next morning he finds a a square wraped, hand written note in his purposely closed hand.It read...
" By the way, I already fell for you, before last night... I hope we meet again soon, my hand is already missing yours... Im sorry for leaving you so early, and being a creep and putting this in your hand, your cute when you sleep you know... I want you to keep in touch so heres my number ~ 977- 0901. I hope I talk to you soon. . .
Cassidy "
He read it over and over again, then decided he better get up, because he was going home in a few hours. He said goodbye to his aunt and uncle then hopped in the van. As the van slowly gained speed up the highway, he looked back an thought " When am I going to see you again? "
