Soulless

Chapter five

"I thought you said that was a horror movie?" Landon said.

"Hey! I screamed the first time I watched it"

"Really? You got scared over that?" The look on his face is saying are you serious?

"Well, no so much as scared, more frightened" i say. He just laughs. That's a good thing that he's laughing right? He turns to fully face me "I want to know you"

"Um, you already know me Landon?" I'm confused.

"No, like really get to know you. To the point where I can write a book about you"

"And why would you want to do that? I'm not very exciting"

"I'll be the judge of that" he grins.

"Okay, I have no other siblings which can really suck sometimes. My father is the local Father at the church and my mother helps him. I've always felt that I'm adopted or something because I'm nothing like them. My best friend as you know in Steph and she's my only friend really. I get straight A's and I'm quite sporty" I say. It's sad that I have one friend. When one of us is away, the other has to spend all day by herself, and I don't know about Steph but I hate getting those looks.

"Favourite colour?" He asks

"Blue, because its like the ocean and the ocean is water and water create electricity so it's sort of like we can't live without blue"

"Well, now I know everything" he smiles.

"Tell me about yourself" I ask

"There really isn't much to tell, I mean my parents died a long time ago. I don't have have brothers or sisters or any family for that matter. It's just me really" He looks sad. How could he have no family? No living relatives? "Well what about all those places you've been?"

"I paid for them myself, I'm emancipated and i have a good inheritance, but those were the best times of my life" He looks like he's thinking of the memories he has accumulated over the years.

I wonder if he's ever been to Salem -Well were it was- I've always wanted to go, ever since I started getting called a witch. "Have you ever been to Salem?" I ask.

A look of horror goes through his face. "What makes you ask that?" He tries to regain his composure.

"I was just asking, and because with being called a witch and that I've always wanted to go"

"Oh, well no I haven't"

We talk for a little while longer and by night time, we know so much about each other. We were standing at his car, facing each other.

"Well, I had an amazing afternoon, thank you."

"As did I" I smile

"I will see you at school tomorrow won't I?"

"Yes, I'll be there"

He kisses my check, but leaves his mouth on there "Goodnight Hazel" he says mouth still there. I smile "Goodnight Landon"

He gets into his car and i start walking to my house "Hazel, wait" he yells out. I turn around and he's running toward me "What's wrong?" I ask.

"I didn't get your number" he says handing me his phone. I put my number in "Cool, I'll text you later" He gets in his car and drives away.
