About a month passed and I hung out with Nolan every day. And every day he called me by my fake name; Jaylee. Then one day he stormed up to me. "Hey! Jaylee!" He called. "hey Nolan whats up?" I smiled. "Whats up? Whats up! Jaylee. If thats your real name! You lied to me." He yelled. My smile faded. "Nolan..I" I stammered. "Why? He yelled. am I too much of a freak to know your name?" He said. "No Nolan. Of course not!" I said. "Then why did you lie to me- whoever you are." He said. "Its complicated." I said. "No It's not." He said "You couldve told the truth, but you didn't because who knows why." He said. "Look Nolan. I just-" "What didn't want people seeing me with you?" He yelled. "Is that why you alway wear those sunglasses?" He said. "Nolan, I'm sorry. My real name is Shaylee, Shaylee Kane. No lie. I promise." I said. Then it started to rain. Hard. We both still stood there soaking wet. "I can't believe I acuatlly - Oh forget it." He said. "What? Nolan you acuatlly what?" I said. A single tear rolled out of my black eye. "I acuatlly LOVED you Shaylee!" He yelled. He walked off. I ran home. crying. I knew he would break me.Even if I didn't show my eyes. But it was all my fault. How could I be so dumb! The next few days I stayed home in my room drawing him. I missed him so much. I cried to sleep for days. Zanna called and we talked through it. Finally she convinced me to get some fresh air. Her and I went to the park and hung out at the picnic tables. As I was talking to her I completely zoned out and thought about Nolan. I imagined him when we first met. He was always smiling. "Shay! Shay! Shaylee!" Zanna called me. "Huh, what." I said dazed. She cleared her throat and motion to her left. I turned around. Coming towards me was Nolan. "Shaylee. I'm sorry I freaked out on you." He said. I just sat. "I just, have been going through alot at home." He said. "Well maybe we could go out tonight, come here, to the park and talk." He smiled slightly. I smiled. "That would be great." I said and we hugged.
