Finding You

Chapter 1

I kept feeling eyes on me. No one looks at me so it's a strange feeling,for me. I'm the outcast I don't get noticed much.

I turned my head to the left.There he is.His eyes blue as the ocean and glued at the sight of me, with a smiled across his face. No one ever stared at me this way; correction at all.

I smiled slightly. I didn't see an inch of movement come from him. Not a blink or a slight twitch. I thought it,was pretty weird but I let it slide. Beside I think he is okay looking. But it felt strange having a boy look in my direction. Unless...maybe there is something wrong with me. Besides the fact that I'm an outcast and barley speak a word.

Maybe there is something on my face? Maybe I am actually doing my work and he's laughing at me on the inside?

I looked over at him again to see what he was doing, or at least what everyone else was doing.

Nope I am not the only one writing.

He kept looking at me, like I were a animal or some sort. I smiled again politely. I wanted to look over my should see if there was anyone behind me or beside me just in case I am making a fool of myself and he is not looking at me but at someone else. So I did.

Yes of course,there was. A girl, blonde hair, grey eyes, she's beautiful. Something I want to be but never can.

I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I felt like the whole world was spinning. The thing that made me even more sad was that she was making eye contact with him as well. I felt like crying.

I looked at the clock in the small classroom. Only 5 more minutes and schools out. I felt a sudden relief. I can go home and forget what just happened.

"Saved by the bell" Alejandro said. I giggled. He always makes comments like that. But that didn't make me feel the slightest bit better.

I walked slowly down the hallway of the old, rundown school.

"Hey" someone poked me in the arm.

I couldn't believe who it was.

I weakly smiled.

So, he was staring at me, And I wasn't making a fool of myself. I sighed in relief. I'm already a fool as it is. Knowing I wasn't making a fool of myself in front of him made me feel so much better.

He smiled as well. "Shy?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't talk much" I softly told him. He shrugged as well.

"That's okay" He smiled.

We awkwardly walk to the bus loop together. It felt strange having someone next to me but I enjoyed the feeling of his presence beside me. He stopped before turning in the direction of his bus. So, I stopped as well.

"I guess I will see you around?" He said.

I shrugged,"I guess"

Before he kept walking, I never really found out his name.

"What's your name?" I asked him before leaving.

"Reed, Reed Deming" He winked and ran to his bus.

I smiled. It rang a bell in my head. Maybe I heard it before? But that wink. I couldn't help but think about him for the rest of the day.
