Image for Haley

"No, I'm telling you it actually happened!" You laugh at the facial expression your friend wore, as you retold the story of your last year Zoo trip.

"Wait, hold up, let me get this straight. A bird-"

"Flamingo."

"Yeah sure, a Flamingo attacked you?" She asks staring in disbelief.

"Mmhm." You hum, holding in a laugh as her jaw basically drops.

"How does that even happen! The last thing I'd be worried about at the zoo would be, being attacked by a pink bird for Christ sakes!" She says astonished.

"I know, I wasn't even close to the exhibit! Must of been lose or something." You shrug, standing to go throw away your trash.

"Wait! Haley!" She calls to you, waving her trash in your direction.

Groaning, you walk back over and snatch it from her hands."You're lucky I like you..." You mumble, walking back towards the waste bin. But, of course before you could reach it you're plowed, yes, plowed  to the ground.

"Woops, I'm sorry love!" A deep, Australian accent speaks to you as two hands help you up.

"Oh, it's-" You say stopping mid-sentence because, damn. That boy's fine.

"It's what?"

"It's h- fine, you're fine! It's fine!" You says stuttering, while prying your eyes off the boys face and turning your head in embarassment as the taller lad chuckled.

"Okay,um-"

"Haley." You say, butting in.

"Right, Haley" he says smiling "I'm Luke."

"Nice to meet you Luke!" You say smiling, a slight blush filling your cheeks as he takes your hand shaking it.

"Haley!" "How long does throwing trash take!" The impatient voice of your friend shouts, breaking you from Lukes gaze.

"I guess that's my que to leave..." You mumble towards him turning to head back.

"Wait!" Luke shouts "Uh, could I perhaps have your number and uh perhaps we could catch up sometime, yeah? He asks.

"I'd like that" you say, a smile pooling at your lips. 

"Fantastic.'

And with that word began the start of something beautiful.
