Just a Balloon

Green

There was a girl named Rose. She was in her second year of high school, aka a sophomore. She loved going to the park to read. She especially loved to read on the swings. One day at the park, there was a person giving away free balloons. She went up and got a balloon of her favorite color, green. She wasn't a girly girl but wasn't a tomboy. She was a classified geek. Not a nerd. She made her way home with the balloon when it slipped out of her grasp! She tried to get it but she was rather short. A bystander came over and got the balloon back. "Thanks" she said. It was just a balloon though. You didn't have to get it" she said, thankful he got it. "No problem and of course I would get it. No point in wasting a balloon of the best color! he said. "Oh my gosh,"she thought. "We have the same favorite color!" She was trying to play it cool but knew she would fail epically. It was just her. "Anyway" she continued, trying for the cool thing even though she was holding a balloon. "Sup" she said popping the p. He laughed gently and said "Not much," he said. "Where are you heading?" he asked. "Home" she replied. "Shall I accompany you to your home?" he asked. "Calm down girl" she thought. She was freaking out inside. She of course wanted to stay with him but how to make this not awkward would be hard. "Uh... Sure" she said stupidly. "Stupid me!!" she thought. "Well then" he said "Lead the way"

As they walked home, they didn't talk much. "What grade are you in?" she asked, hoping she wouldn't regret asking. "I'm a sophomore in high school" he said. "YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!" she thought. "Cool! So am I!" she exclaimed wishing it hadn't come out that way. "Uh... I mean" she couldn't even think straight! "Cool" she tried to sound cool. I'm a- she tripped on the sidewalk and fell. Just before she completely face planted, he caught her. She wanted to faint. So much. "T-thank y-you" she stuttered. "No problem" he said. She was actually trembling with excitement. She had never had luck with boys. For example, she had a huge crush on a boy named Connor. He was a jock and she knew she had no chance but still tried. She walked right up him and punched his arm. "Sup" she said, playing it cool. "Uh... hi." he managed. "Ready for the game tonight?" she asked hoping there was a game on tonight. "Uh... There is no game... Bye now." And with that, him and his friends were gone. She later realized he was a jerk but he was so gorgeous!

They finally got to her house. They exchanged their goodbyes and that was it. She hoped she would see him again!
