                         I usually sit in the cafeteria and draw in my sketch pad, alone, but apparently that wasn't gonna happen today.I sat at my usual table. I didn't even have time to take out my pencil. Here he comes. I pretended to sleep, but apparently that didn't work. And I forgot to close my sketch pad. "So, that's your 'hidden' talent. Hey, are you okay?" He asked. I say nothing and don't look at him either. "Really, what's the matter?" He really wasn't gonna go away. 'Just ... go ... away!'I thought. I went to get up and leave, but he grabbed me. I struggled to get loose, but he was too strong. Now I'm really exhausted, and am forced to relax. To both of our comfort, I guess, maybe, he relaxed, too.

            I woke up to the thought of 'Austin is sorta .... kinda .... maybe .... cute, but a major creeper', and oh no! Today's the fifth day! When I got to school, to my surprise (not really), Austin was waiting for me. "Morning, Angel" he said. That was the last time I saw him until the last bell ring of the day. He was at my locker. "Uh, your locker is at the other end of the school" I said. He replied "Not anymore. I got my locker put next to yours, Angel." "Oh my god! Stop calling me that!" I yelled. "Fine. See-ya tonight" he said. "Whatever" I said.

            Well, I guess it figures there'd be a storm. That night made the roads bad. I was sitting at an intersection and a tree came down right in front of me. Then suddenly, the tree 'flew' over my car and into the woods on the far side of the road. "What the...?" I said to myself. "Ahhh!" I screamed. Oh my god! Someone's at my window! "Miss me, Angel?" he asked. "Get in! We need to talk! And you're getting soaked" I screamed at him. He just stood there smiling and shocked. "Now! Before you catch a pneumonia, if its possible!" I yelled. I'm freaked. Finally, after he realized I meant it wasn't going to leave without him, he got in. "What was that? Did you realize what you were doing? You could have killed me! You don't even care, do you?!" I freaked and punched him in the face. He replied "Ouch, I guess? Repeat your questions slowly, so maybe I could answer them." So I said "Fine, what are you?" Austin replied," you don't wanna know, and if you knew, you'd either do 1 of 2 things: 1. freak out or 2. not believe me. You'd hate me even more." "Why," I asked. "Don't you think you should get to know me first? I mean, I'd literally die if you hated me." Ugh, fine, my small, nice side will come out. "Fine, but we're still not friends. Where do you live?" I asked. "You better let me call home first, okay?" He sounded worried or nervous. He called home. After he called home, he asked "can I drive?" "Sure," I said, "just don't crash my car!" Tonight is the most cautious night of my life... so far. But my crazy life is only just beginning.
