Emma's POV.
I was in my room when I heard a knock on my window. I got out of bed and padded over my cold hard wood floor and opened my sky blue curtains slowly. Then his face appeared.
My creepy neighbor.
I opened my window a crack. "What do you want?" I said.
"Can I come in?" His voice a lot more... Normal?
"Why?"
"Just let me in!"
I sighed and gave in "fine" I opened the window all the way and he climbed inside. He looked around my room as I sat on my bed, he moved to sit next to me, "Oh no you don't, you will sit on the floor or stay standing. Your choice." I demanded.
He sighed and sat crossed legged on the ground.
"So why'd you come here?" I asked.
"No reason."
"Yes there is, just tell me..."
"I couldn't stop thinking about you." He blurted. Then he was quiet again and started playing with his shoe lace on his black converse.
"What are you talking about?" I still couldn't comprehend what he just said. "You don't even know my name."
"Emma Pearly." he says.
"You creep." I start to stand up, but he's already to his feet.
"No no, please hear me out"
I sigh and sit back down, so he does too.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you, and I was only trying to fit in. I heard Jim was the most popular guy, so him and I started hanging out this summer. The guys a prick, but at least I'm not alone. I was trying to get you attention because I think you're cute, and I kind of like you."
I'm speechless.
No words come to mind.
"Do you like me?" He shyly asks.
Do I? I don't know. I've never noticed how green his eyes are.
"No, I'm sorry. You're just not my type."
"Oh, I understand." He says sadly. "What can I do to change your mind?"
"I'm sure you'll figure something out" I smile.
"Okay." He smiles back, and starts to stand up to leave.
"Wait," I said "what's your name?"
"Nick."
"Okay."
"Maybe we could do this another time?" he asks.
"Sure." I smile.
"Cool, well I have to go other wise my dad will hurt me" Nick says
"Okay well, I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Yep. Bye." And he climbs out the window and runs back home.
"Bye." I said even though he couldn't hear me.
