Stay and watch the Stars

Walk on Water or Drown

I walk to the new bakery and take a seat cause the line is too long. I pull up my computer and just go on myspace. My name is Jake Bundrick. I'm in a band, but we're not famous and we don't even have a name.

I came here to find some ideas for a song I'm writing. Ideas keep coming to my head but I can't put it in the right words.

My eyes wonder off and I see a girl. 

A really pretty one! She's decorating cup cakes. There's a glass window and you could see them working.

She has brown golden hair and she's really pretty. I close my computer and put it in my back pack and I get up to get a better view.

She's so pretty. She has the most gorgeous green eyes and she looks about my age. Its kinda awkward me starting at her so I get in line to buy something.

When its my turn, she's the one to take my order. I felt my heart going faster when she spoke to me. Her voice is so pretty.

" Hi, may I interest you in today's special? The Red Velvet cup cakes?"

She is smiling! I don't like red Velvet! What if she won't like me if I say no?

" Yes!" I look at her name tag. Her name is Galea? I pull out my wallet and pay.

" How do you pronounce your name?" I ask.

" Galea Goh-Lee- uh." She says.  

" Beautiful name! I've never heard it before." She smiles and gives me a cup cake. I take a seat at a table and examine this cup cake. The first time I had a red velvet was the last.

My ex girlfriend made me some. She got angry cause I didn't like them cause she burned them and they came out sloppy. This one looks perfect. I unwrap some paper take a bite. Hmm, not bad! Delicious actually. I give a big smile.  

I see Galea smiling at me at the corner of my eye!

I stay til the bakery is about to close. I still haven't wrote a song I was hoping to. It's nine and I have to meet the guys at ten. I still have time. I wait till the bakery is empty.

I get up and go to the counter.

" Hi. My name is Jake. Do you know where Downtown is at? There's a parade I'm gonna see with my friends and I just don't know." She smiles as she explains the directions. I just wanted to have a conversation with her. I'm lost in her eyes again.

" Thank you. Are you busy tonight? Maybe you should come!" I try. What if she has a boyfriend? Oh no I'm ruining everything.

"I can't actually. I'm grounded." Oh:(

" Why? You don't seem like you don't get in a whole lot of trouble."

" Well my step dad just hates everything about me. What I believe in, what I wear, what music I listen to. I'm grounded. He's just so. Ugh!" She said frustrated. That's a messed up dad.

" Oh, I'm sorry your dad is like that. If you ever need anyone to talk to, Here's my number." I wrote on a piece of paper.

She took it and smiled.

" It depends on what music you listen to." She smirked. ugh. What if she doesn't like my music?

" Well, I'm into punk rockish..." Her face lights up.

" Me too!" She put my number in her phone. " Jake? right?" I smile and nod.

" I'm actually in a band. But we're not famous or anything..." I tail off. She probably doesn't care since we're not popular.
