slow down.

= chapter 8 =

I wake up before my mom and the moving truck isn't here yet so I quick an apple and decide to go on a jog around the neighborhood and get a feel for it.

I walk over to my suitcase against the living room wall watching mom still sleeping on the couch to the right. Just to make sure I don't wake her.

I open my suitcase and pull out a yellow T-shirt that I cut the sleeves off of to makw it a muscle shirt. So I wear a black sports bra under it. Then I put on black run leggings with chevron blue, grey, and black Nike sneakers. I throw up my long, wavy, brown hair in a messy ponytail.

I quietly open the door and shut it behind me start down the sidewalk to the right.

•••

I've run two miles and I have about 7 blocks before I get home. Yes, home, I'm glad I can call it that. This place is safe I can feel it. I feel like I've lived here my whole life. It just seems so natural so rig-

"HEY WAIT UP MY NAMES HARRY!" Harry? interrupts my thoughts and comes up behind me and he almost makes me shit myself from scaring me so badly. I'm still shaking from shock.

"Holy shit!! You don't just do that to someone! Especially someone who's new to the town. You could be a cereal killer for all I know!" I start to pick up my pace as he comes up beside me, still running.

"Well I can assure you I'm no cereal killer, asshole at times, maybe but no cereal killer."

"Well that's good news!" I might as well be nice I mean I know he isn't a cereal killer and he looks around my age so why not! "So your name's Harry?"

"Yup! What's your name?"

"I'm Ariel! So do you live around here?"

I try to say pretending that I'm not totally out of breath from running.

"Yea I live a couple blocks away! Are you visiting, because you have an American accent so I'm just wondering."

"Yea haha! I guess it would have been helpful to say why I'm here. Well my mom got a job in this town and we needed to move here and I can't really talk about why we agreed to move down he so easily. I'm sorry I just don't know you that well yet and its real-" he fucking cuts me off again. I've noticed hes really good at that.

"Yet?" An immediate smirk forms across his lips. They form perfectly and his eyes are this perfect shade of green...ARIEL STOP IT. You just met him, control yourself then he stops in his tracks. I suppose I should stop too.

"Wow! You are not what I expected." Huh? What does that mean?

"I'm...sorry to dissapoint..you.?"

"Oh no! No! No! When I say that I mean you are just wow! This whole time we've been running all I can hear is your voice I didn't really get a good look at you! That why I stopped because you are just so.." He stumbled on his words. Is he NERVOUS!? "nothing... never mind." Nope I definitely had the wrong idea.

"I-I'm sorry I have to go! Maybe I'll see you around." he says. I know I shouldn't be upset. But there is a feeling in the pit of my stomach that won't go away. I've never felt this before.

Its him.

Harry.

He's the reason I feel this way. And still I ask myself what the hell is this unknown feeling. I walk up to my door and look at him running down the sidewalk under the shade if the trees. I can't help but freeze up. I'm literally frozen. Why the fuck does he have this power over me? I'm just standing here like a dumb ass staring at him, jaw dropped, and I'm pretty sure I'm drooling.

Down the road I see him run into Tescos. But, something stops him at the door of the store. He turns around...... GET THE FUCK INSIDE ARIEL! QUICK BEFORE HE SEES YOU!

to late.

He turns around and stares at me the smirk growing on his face again. He starts to laugh. I'm pretty sure its because I'm to frozen by him to fucking move and I'm probably drooling..... just fabulous.
