Dark Blue Is Our Colour

Genevieve Jean Owens

How should I begin to describe dear little Genevieve? Well how about starting off with appearances?

That would be a good place to start thing is you can imagine her as you wish to however this book is semi based off of real life soo I personally will describe her as the real life her. Which means she has dark brown curly hair but it's like not that long it only goes about 2 inches or so below her shoulders, not very curvy but she isn't skinny so average I suppose, hazel eyes, a cute pudgy lil' nose she's tiny only 5'3 so pocket size and she has an air of... complete and utter weird somehow complexness if that's even a word

I mean she would like to consider herself as unique but in a sense she's not. But in a sense she actually is.

Now let's get down to her basic personality some of her interests too.

So as previously mentioned she unique but also not at all. If that makes any sense which it probably doesn't. 

Well I'll be quick about this aspect of her because personally I believe it will be more interesting to learn about her wen you read the roles she plays in everyones' lives. Be it minor to large she has to affect people somehow right? Well she's a taurus born may ninth 2000 so she is approximately 16 years 3 months and 6 days old well depending on when you're reading this. Well I guess she's materialistic but she doesn't enable It seeing as she doesn't come from the wealthiest of families. She wouldn't fancy herself all that creative if at all and her fashion sense is definitely not the best but she's working on it.

Now that the description is over and done with let's get on to the story aspect of this chapter in the life of "Genevieve Jean Owens" a.k.a Gena

"Dude omg omfg look over there!" Gena whispered to Juliana a.k.a Genas' best friend "What? What is soo interesting that you would feel the need to interrupt my sleep training?" Juliana snapped "Well crap gurl calm yo bootay the frick down. Well anyway I was referring to the guy that is like 20 feet away from us so the one that's kind of tall, but not really, brown hair, skinny on his phone, very very dark green T-shirt on with the basketball shorts on.". She was talking about the semi attractive guy across the street. Just to clarify and clear the air Gena and Juliana were sitting on a bench in a park called "SaintClaires park" very very original considering it's right next to this popular diner called "Saintclaires Diner" also very original. Anyway they were in he park after school just chillin like some villains. Hanging out with the bats.

"OOOH I see who you're talking about now! I feel you I feel you... he ugly tho. Well I mean he's not ugly but he's just not my type I mean he's probably someone's type but definitely not mine" Juliana answered after finally understanding who Gena was talking about "And by the way Gena that shirt is not green it is black! This is the same situation as with David his shirt was not dark blue it was black!"  "Nuh uh! There's no way that his shirt is black it's 100% dark green yes from some angles it looks black but if you look at it the right way it's dark green. And David's shirt was most definitely dark blue I mean if you would pay attention you would see he always wear something blue usually dark blue but still and on that particular day he didn't have anything else on that was blue so his shirt had to have been dark blue. And besides I'm always right so don't even try.".  "Well what look would you have to do to see that his shirt is dark green the "I am sooo hot and want to jump your bones" look or the "I am psychotic and will not hesitate to do very bad physical damage to you and what do you know I just bought some new fabric scissors recently so your shirt best watch itself." look. You know what why are we even having this discussion Gena?"  "Because you know I'm right and you just don't want to admit it." Gena ended laughing.

"OH NO!" Gena almost screamed. She had looked back to where the cute guy was and he was gone! How could she have been so foolish the key to her most liked hobby is always know where they are. Oh and her hobby is going up to cute strangers and asking them for their numbers. Is it safe... not always but the feeling of nervousness and butterflies and blushing before it is just such a thrill and chickening out and having somebody egg you on to go to them it's just such fun kind of like how some people are addicted to adrenaline rushes this was her adrenaline rush.

"Oh my goood stop overreacting! He only walked like 7 steps he just went under that tree."juliana pointed towards a tree where not surprisingly at all there he was "Oh ok cool... soooo... Juliana what's up" "Genevieve Jean Owens if you want to ask just ask! And yes you should go over to him and ask him for his number." She answered already having anticipated what Gena wanted.

"Yay thanks you're my cinnamon apple!" Gena eagerly told Juliana as she got up to go over to him. She wasn't even 4 steps away when she turned back with a panicked look on her face the "crush rush" as she calls it already kicking in. "Ok so what should I say? I was thinking of just saying "Hey I'm Gena and I was wondering if I could get your number" or something like that you know?" "Bish please we both know that you know what you're going to say you're only using this as an excuse to buy yourself some time but too bad honeybun the shop closed the moment you started walking towards him. Now go and ask him just remember what you always say okay? Now go get him tiger!" She said leaving no room for argument. "Fine okay but okay whoo this is really happening.". She turned on her heal in a fast pace she started to think about her pep talk that she always says whilst walking up to a guy "Okay it's fine chances are he won't remember you anyway and he doesn't know you so there's really no problem and just keep a quick walking pace and the nerves won't be able to get to you." With the reassurance she needed she was able to keep quickly walking towards him. The crush rush in full effect her stomach was in knots her hands were clammy and she had her phone ready to whip out if on the slim chance he does say yes.

She was close now only a little bit of distance was between them at this point. She could now see the details of his face tanned skin he was clearly not white he was Brasilian... probably seeing as nearby there's some really nice brasilian shops one of them is a restaurant. I think ones a small coffee shop I could be completely wrong though. And ones a really small market too.

She looked to Juliana for help and or support but only seeing her smugly smirking at her didn't offer much. Until she worded something to Gena... but Gena didn't understand it at all not even the three other times Juliana repeated it. Exasperated Juliana the her arms up in the air deciding just to text Gena. The text read "You better do it or I'll tell David that you think he's hot and that you have a pillow with a picture of him printed on it and you kiss it before you sleep Every. Single. Night" Gena slowly looked up clearly mortified by such a despicable threat so a hasty reply as definitely in order! She replied "That's not even true! You wouldn't dare! You know what actually you would... okay fine I'm going I'm going.".

With that final push Gena walked the last length of the emotional marathon and now she was standing in front of the man who was concentrated on his phone. "Umm excuse me?" Gena said meekly putting on a look of attempted cuteness this caught the man's attention "Yes?" He said with a polite smile she started thinking again "Well I mean he seems nice enough." this time she said something out loud "I'm Gena and well I was wondering if I could please have your number?" the man with the really cute brown messy hair and cute brown eyes and cute small dimples only laughed he only let out a slight chuckle before dropping an enormous bomb he slowly raised his hand and Genas' heart stopped and all of the blood in her body and more went straight to her cheeks. "Oh ok well thank you for your time none the less and bye." she said politely and he responded with a nice smile and a curt nod of his head now with that over with she almost ran back to Juliana and as soon as she was back Juliana asked "Well so what happened I wasn't paying attention Martin messaged me." "Oh heavenly pigs He. Is. Married! Married for christs sake I swear that was so embarrassing!". It had just turned 4 pm when Juliana looked at the time "Hey I gotta leave my bus comes in five minutes so bye love you." Juliana said "Oh yeah right so mine comes in ten minutes ok well bye tell your parents and if they're there your sisters hi from me. And love you too." Gena yelled after her.

Well yeah that's about it :) and by the way Juliana in this story is pronounced the german way so it's pronounced You-Lee-On-Uh and there's probably going to be more german names seeing as I live in germany and all and this is semi based off of real life so yeah :) and I thought of something that might be really fun so my idea was to make music playlists for all of the characters but alot later though not now because at the moment there's only two really prominent characters so yup :) oh nd Gena is pronounced like Jenna if that wasn't clear and that's about it so yeah :) and thanks to Fantasy_Sky731 because they are the one who really motivated me to write this chapter :D
