Cracks in our Souls [BWWM]

2. Pretty Like You

I stepped off the train platform and looked around. The trip was six hours and more people got on as went along. Everyone stepped off talking and playing around on there way to the school or there dorm.

"Violet!" A male voice yelled making me look around.

I saw a boy running to me and I smiled. I could tell he was my cousin my dad told me about. He hugged me tight and I returned it.

"Dame I haven't seen you in so long. How's Jason and Uncle Dan?" He yelled over the noise.

"There doing great, and thank you for letting me stay with you." I said.

He grabbed my wrist softly pulling me though the crowed of people. We made it to the parking lot and stopped next to a blue car.

"I'm happy for you to stay with me. I most of the time and don't have a girlfriend so you can cook and clean." He said looking at me.

"I'm your guest, you cook and clean for me." I said opening the door.

He got in and so did I. He looked at me smiling and dame those pretty hazel eyes he had reminded me of mom.

"I guess you like being hungry and living in filth." He laughed and pulled off.

I looked out the window and noticed it wasn't much around here. Mostly trees from what I could see. He stopped at a road side store that was surrounded with trees.

"It's going to be a long day, hungry?" He looked at me.

"Yeah I am, but I don't have much money." I said reaching into my jeans pocket.

"It's okay I got it, just get whatever you want." He said stepping out.

I followed him closing the car door behind behind me. I pulled a pony tail holder from my pocket and put my hair up. I really need to cut it, it's to long and I'm to short. He pulled the door open for me and I walked in.

He followed me in but when a different way then me. I went to the freezer a grabbed a bottle of water.

"Need help with anything?" A blond haired boy said to me.

I looked over at him stocking up chips and he looked at me smiling.

"No, but thank you." I said to him.

He turned back to his work and I walked over to Gareth.

"Just a bottle of water get something else." He said looking at the different sandwiches they had.

I walked back to the boy and he turned to me.

"Do you sell any type of fruits or vegetables?" I asked softly.

"Yeah." He walked pass me to the other side of the store.

I followed him and he opened a freezer showering me different types of mixed fruit and vegetable. I looked at the options and he walked away back to his work.

I turned when I herd a girl voice come into the store.

"Hey Logan." She said cheerfully.

I grabbed a cup of mixed fruit and walked to Gareth. He was still looking and didn't notice me. I watched as the boy and girl gave each other a big hug and kiss to the cheek.

I looked over the girl feeling jealous of her. She had pretty even brown skin, long brown and blue hair, and a beautiful shape like a hour glass. I didn't have much of a shape and my skin was dark and light all over. She was the type of girl I wanted to be but being shy and insecure I couldn't.

"Ready?" Gareth said to me.

I nodded looking at him as his eyes went to the girl.

She went to the counter and Gareth practically ran there.

"Is that all?" She asked him.

I walked over putting my stuff on the counter. She looked at me and smiled and I returned it.

"Shit, let me find something to drink." Gareth said walking away.

I stood there playing with my hair looking at the ground. I couldn't look at her, she was pretty and I didn't want her to see how insecure I was.

"Hey pretty." She said to making me look up.

I looked around wondering who she was talking to.

"I'm talking to you." She said laughing.

"Oh hey." I said smiling at her.

"New around here?"

"Yeah, here for school." I said just as the blond haired boy walked behind the counter to her.

He played with his phone ignoring our conversation.

"Oh, what you going to school for?" She asked me.

"Medical school, to become a doctor." I said wishing Gareth would come on.

"Oh, that's kind of cool. Saving lives and what not." She said turning to the boy.

She pulled his phone from his hand and he smiled at her. He reached for it but she pulled back. She ruffled his hair and gave the phone back. He finished playing with it as Gareth came back with a soda.

"Is that all?" She asked grabbing the stuff ringing it up.

"Well I'll take your phone number to." Gareth said pushing me over a little.

The girl just smiled at him and the blond boy looked at Gareth. Gareth didn't look at him just stared at the girl.

"Sorry, but I have to say no." She said calmly.

"How about I take you out? Any place you want to go sexy." Gareth said to her.

"How about no." She said handing me the bag.

Gareth gave her the money softly rubbing his hand on hers. The blond boy watched the interaction and the girl pulled away.

"Come on just one date, what do you say?" Gareth said flashing a smile.

"She said no." The blond boy took the change from the girl and handed it to Gareth.

Gareth looked at him and the boy held his stare. I took the change from him and grabbed Gareth arm trying to pull him. He didn't move and the other boy wasn't moving either.

"Gareth we have a lot of stuff to do today, we should get going." I said making the blond boy glance at me.

"I know, little cousin." Gareth said not looking at me.

"Maybe you should go like your little cousin said." The girl said.

I pulled his arm and he moved back this time. He looked at the girl and winked at her and she rolled her eyes at him. I pushed him out the door and he laughed walking to the car.

I walked back to the two and grabbed my bag. I looked at the blond haired boy who was still looking at Gareth.

"I'm sorry." I said grabbing the bag.

He just looked at me as the girl walked away into the back of the store.

"What did you?" He asked looking at me.

"No not me, for him." I said backing away.

He looked me up and down with a disappointed look.

"Yeah, well he should apologize to her not you apologizing to me. That's kind of stupid." He said looking me up and down again.

His face was still disappointed at me I guess.

"Yeah I guess." I said to him.

He turned and walked back to his work stocking chips.

I walked pass him and he gave me another look over. I guess he still didn't like what he saw because he just shuck his head and turned around.

I walked out of store and to got into the car handing Gareth his money. We pulled off and I looked back at the store. I wish I was that pretty.
