The Brunette Beauty

L U C A S

As I walked into the noisy classroom, I saw her. Her. The brunette beauty. She was sitting in the back row. Trying to fit in, I would think. Except she could never stand out more. I would recognize her anywhere. She had haunted me for the past week. Every night she would appear in my dreams. When I realized that I had been standing there like an idiot, I went to grab a seat right next to this mystery girl. Right as I grabbed the chair to the right of her, a Middle-Aged man walked into the room.

"Hello. I am Mr. Balmer. I will be your American history teacher for this year...."

He continued on about what he expected of us, but I was so tired I couldn't bear to think. My mind replayed the conversation between me and my father. He had told me never to come back. So I ran. I grabbed my stuff and ran. Somehow, maybe by destiny, I made it to California. I had about $700 in all.

how am i going to survive? I have $700 in my pocket and that's it.

By luck I had made it into this school. Registering under some fake address a few weeks ago. Thank God they didn't really care where you live. I thought about my life in Texas. Bull riding. Rodeos. My family. My...

How could I do that to her? I left. I needed to leave. That's no excuse. I had no choice! You didn't tell her anything. You are just as bad as her. No. No.

As he thought deeper into his life, he finally got the courage to think of her. His blond trouble maker. He had dated her for 2 years. She understood him.

I'm such an idiot. She was amazing. I left her. I left Megan Campbell, the most incredible girl he had met yet.

Before he could think anymore, the bell rang. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hi. I'm Riley Matthews. I think we need to talk. I have lunch 4th period. I'll talk to you then."

Though it felt as if my world had ended, that's the precise moment when I believe that my life began.
