Behind The Scenes : A love story

2. Bowser

Thursday, 5 pm. Caroline had invited Adam over, and Alina decided to go out.
That was it. Caroline was trying to make Alina jealous.

Well, I can also play that game, that game called I don't care, thought Alina.

Why would she care anyways? Like she cares. Actually, yes. She does care.

She took Bowser out, just to not feel lonely. Bowser was the last gift she got from her mum, and he meant everything for her.

"Bowser, slow down!" Shouted Alina. They were at the flower fields, next to the forest. Bowser came closer, and moved his tail in excitement. Alina sat down near a tree, took out her novel, and started reading it. The book was titled 'Behind the scenes'.

It was a book about a girl who tried to fight depression, but always looked happy and cheerful on the outside. In the end, sh edied and became an angel. This book was the best seller at the local library.

Alina closed the book, and wiped her tears.

Goddamn, this book is too emotional!

She got up when she noticed, Bowser was missing.

"Bowser!!" She shouted. I think he went into the forest. But it's already 7 pm; She thought to herself. She checked the surroundigs again, only to find herself bumping into a guy.

SLAM!!!

"Owww..." Mumbling in pain, Alina scratched her head.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?!"
The boy helped her stand up.
When Alina came to concience, she noticed the boy was holding the same book that she just read. Behind him was... Bowser.

"Is this your dog? I found him near the river. Poor guy, he got lost."

"Yeah, that's my dog. Thank you so much." Alina thanked him, taking bowser in her arms.

The boy had messy brown-black hair, he wore a grey cotton shirt, which you could clearly see his abs, and wore dark blue jeans. He had a husky voice. He was breathtaking.

But he looked somehow.. familiar.

"Have I seen you somewhere? Because you seem kinda familiar."
Asked Alina. The boy looked kinda panicked and passed a hand in his hair.
"What? No,of course not."
"Really? Oh, maybe just a thought. By the way, you don't look like you're from Scotland." Asked Alina.
"Yeah, no. I'm actually from LA, I'm just visiting my grandma for three months. I'm Sebastian, by the way." He chuckled.

His voice. His voice was just beautiful.

"Alina. Alina Grace. And this is Bowser."

"He's a very cute dog. And I see we have the same taste in books, don't we?" Alina blushed. He noticed her book. Could he be?... true love?..

Stop, Alina! You sweared guys were dumb!

And that was when she realized... she looked totally nerd.
Her brown hair was styled in a ponytail, she wore jeans and a t-shirt with a teenage mutant ninja turtles drawing on it. And she wore a silver bell bracelet.

"You look pretty." Sebastian said. Alina blushed harder, she was thanking the gods it was nighttime, or he would have seen her blushing.

"Thanks." Alina mumbled, but he could still hear her.
