Tears In The Dark

Talkative and definitely not shy

After school, I went home and thought about the days events. Why would Lexington Martin of all people want to suddenly have something do with me? I was a nobody. Nothing special about me. My hair was just Brown and my eyes were nothing special. Just green. I wasn't curvy or beautiful in any size shape or form. I was suddenly shook out of my thoughts by my little sister Lacey coming in from the bus. She was in second grade. She was 7 years old when our parents died. I smiled at her as she sat down beside me on the couch. "How was your day?" I asked her. She smiled and said "great. I made a new friend. Her name is Hannah and she moved here today. What about you?" I smiled and said "Good. I made a new friend as well." Lacey asked "what's her name??" I smiled and said "His name is Lexington Martin. He's really nice." She made a face and said "so your boyfriend a d girlfriend?" I laughed and said "No. Just friends." She said ", you can do that. I thought only boys and girls hang out with each other if they love each other." I smiled and said "boys and girls can be just friends too sweetheart. Go get your homework done and I'll fix dinner." She stood up and ran to her room while I walked to the kitchen to fix dinner. When I was halfway done with the macaroni and cheese , the doorbell rang. I wiped my hands and went to get it but by the time I got there,Lacey had already opened it. I looked it was and saw Lexington standing there while Lacey asked "who are you??" He looked at her and said "My name is Lexington. Who are you?" She said "I'm Lacey. Are you my sister's boyfriend? She told me about you. She said you're just friends because boys and girls don't have to love each other to hang out but my friend Sarah told me that's the only reasons boys want to be around girls. And also she looked really happy when she talked about you and she never looks that happy anymore unless she really likes something or sees my mommy and daddy's picture or letters. They went to their best friend Gods house now so we can't see them but we get to see them again soon." I looked at her with my mouth wide open for a second then back to Lexington who was staring at me. I smiled an awkward and embarrassed smile then said "Hi." Lacey turned around and saw I was standing there. She smiled and said "Hey Mandolin. Your friend Lexington is here." I smile and say "I see that. Why?" I look at him. He puts his hand out revealing my ring which was given to me by my mom and dad on my 16th birthday. The last birthday we spent together. I took it gently from him and asked " where did you get this?" He looked at me and said "I found it on the floor after you left and decided to bring it to you. Don't worry, I didn't stalk you. It's just, it's a small town. Everyone knows where everyone lives." I looked at him with tears in my eyes and smiled. "Thank you. This means a lot to me." He nodded and said "I'm sorry for just dropping by without warning. I'll leave now." He went to turn around and leave but I said "wait. Do you want o come in? I was just finishing cooking. Do you want to stay for dinner?" He smiled and said "sure. Thanks." I led him in and went to finish the Mac and cheese. Then i pulled the Chicken nuggets out of the oven and set the table. When I was finished, I went to the living room to get Lexington and Lacey to come eat. When I got in there,however, Lacey was talking nonstop about things Sarah tells her. And believe me the girl tells her many things. "Did you know that when a boy hits a girl it's because he loves her? That's what Sarah said. " I spoke up before she said anything else because I knew she was soon to ask if he hit me because we love each other. I said "uh Lacey. Dinners ready. ". They both stood and Lacey ran to the kitchen. Lexington followed me into the kitchen where Lacey was already sitting in her chair.
" Soooo....." Lexington started to break the silence. "Sarah seems like an interesting girl. She is always talking." I smiled and said "That is why her and Lacey are such good friends. Both are talkative and definitely not shy. He laughed and we ate dinner while we talked about everthing.
