My name is Annalise. Annie for short. I'm 18, and I live in an apartment currently attending University to get a degree in both Botany and World Mythology. Pretty odd combo, right? I don't really remember much about my biological parents, my foster parents though, they've been with me since they found me in the woods. I can't remember what happened, or why I was there that night, but I'm glad they found me.
The local Farmer's Market is my favorite place. Warm scents, friendly people, and fresh produce. It's a fairly nice day out, and I have not a care in the world. I walk around quietly, and stop at a small fruit stand. "Strawberries aren't in season yet, Martha?" I look up at the elderly lady who owns the stand, such a sweet woman she is. "No my dear, I'm afraid not. They will be in June." I nod and smile. "Alrighty, that's not too long. I'll take three granny smiths and two oranges." Martha puts them in a small bag and I pay her the correct amount. I bid her a casual goodbye and continue my grocery shopping. I get a loaf of bread, some cheese, and some ground beef.
I begin to head home, but I trip and bump into someone. "Eh? Oh! I'm very sorry ma'am! Are you alright?" The voice is male, and leaves a nice chill down my spine. I feel my face flush a bright red from embarrassment. "I-I'm fine! It's was my fault, I bumped into you!" I look up and I'm met with a pair of brilliant green eyes. Fuck. Me. He chuckles lightly and helps me up, I dust myself off and pick up my basket with all of my groceries, thankfully, nothing was ruined. "I'm Natsu, and you are?" I stay silent for a brief few moments, studying him with wide eyes. "I-I...I'm Annalise." This man I've just run into has soft white hair like snow, and is wearing a black sleeveless top exposing his well-built arms and a pair of skinny jeans. He's fairly young...but seems to be older than me. He carries a calming presence but by god...it's hard to keep calm with someone this attractive.
He apologizes again and leaves, I stand there speechless, as red as a cherry tomato, and looking like an idiot. I quickly head home. "That did not happen....he doesn't even look human! Aaah!" I sit on my couch with my face in my hands. "Why meeeee. Why did I have to make a fool out of myself if front of someone that hooot?" I whine. Well...I guess there's nothing that can be done about it...
