Roses

The Picture.

A year go from today. That's when everything had changed. For the worst that is. My mother, and father would get at it a lot, it would end up going to the part where I can see bruises on my mothers arms, and face/neck. Dad later on ended up leaving, and left me, my mother, and little sister, without anything. We had to move out, and go to another school, that's when everyone from my old school had stopped talking to me, and I became the outcast. No one would even dare to have eye contact with me at my new school.

One day I was outside, just about to go home, when this really pretty girl decided to come up to me, with a camera in her hands, and said one of the nicest things I have ever heard.

"You are one of the most prettiest girl I ever seen." She smiled real big examining my face.

I stared at her, and smiled, not a fake one either, a real smile. My face got red, and I started playing with the strands of hair that fell out of my bun.

"Th-thank you."

She smiled even more. "Aren't you the new girl that moved here about a month ago?"

"Ye-yes. Why?"

"Oh no reason, I just see you everyday, and you seem so alone. I never got the chance to say hi or anything. I didn't have the guts to." She is still smiling a bit, but she looks down playing with a leaf that is on the ground.

"Do you take photography or something, or do you just do it for fun?" I asked her, still a bit red.

"Oh yea, we have to find someone to model. Why are you looking to join?"

I looked at her and giggled. "No, I can't take a picture if my life depend on it. I'm more into drawing, or sketching. Never really understood the difference between the two of them."

"Oh, WAIT! Can you be my model?" Her face brightened up as she smiled really big.

"Wait? You want me to be your model for your class?" My face got even redder.

"Yes! Why not, your one of the most prettiest. Well your not pretty. You're beautiful! So can I? I can understand if you don't want me to." She looks down waiting to be turned down.

I look at her, examining her features, and how she is standing, everything about her, is. I shake my head, and look up at her smiling. "Sure, take as many as you need to."

Her face brightens up as she takes a picture of me.



She has a really big smile on her face, and she gives me a really big hug. "OMG OMG OMG THANK YOUUU!" She yelled, really happy. As her face slowly gets red, she looks at me still red in the face.

"Y-Yeah. N-No problem" I study her face and memorize all her features on her face, as my face goes all red as well.

She lets go of me. "sor-sorry." She looks down really flustered. "I should go now. Bye"

"Wa-wait." She already left before I got ask for her name. "I didn't get.. your name.."

I walk home, and ended up locking myself in my room, starting a drawing. Trying to remember every detail I had saw in her face. When I got as much done as I could. I fell down onto my bed, hugging my pillow, slowly falling asleep. Well at least trying to. All I can see is her flaming red and orange hair, as it flows in the wind, and shining as it hits the sun light. I ended up falling asleep two hours later, after finally getting her beautiful face out of my head.

The next morning I wake up to the alarm going off for my usual time 6:30. I get up, and look at the drawing that is on my desk. I left it there. I didn't want anyone thinking I was some sort of creepo for drawing a girl from my school. I got dressed in my usual outfit. A pair of jeans, and a baggy t-shirt. I grabbed my bag, and went out the door. I walked into the Café down the street from my house and grabbed a donut and a cup of hot chocolate. My usual. I am in there almost everyday, that once they ask me what I would like, I just say the usual, and they know exactly what I want. As I walk out, I see her flaming red hair glowing in the morning sunlight. I stop for a second, and end up going all red in the check area. I don't go up to her, but I wait for her to see me, and maybe I'd be able to get her to come to me, and maybe, just maybe. I'd get her name. I'm sure it's as pretty as her.
