Austin

The day that the new girl got on board of the bus and sat down next to Chris and got him to talk to someone other than me,  I liked her. She had Blonde hair that was tied back and braided into a side braided, her eyes were grey with a hint of blue, her skin was a pale tan as if she was outside a lot. She was wearing skinny jeans, a simple plain T-shirt, and combat boots. When she looked at me I saw her face she had a few freckles and white rimmed sunglasses that were on her head. Her eyes seemed to say, don't underestimate me i will bite. i laughed a little in my head, and soon after I heard Christine and her best friend Carolyn whispering.  they had stopped talking of what their plans were for the weekend and were watching me. the bus finally stopped the new girl was out first. Chris and I had a silent conversation with each other, Chris raced on ahead and i was held back by Christine

"Austin, what is wrong." Carolyn asked, batting her fake eyelashes that were already falling off.

"Nothing, i'll see you two later." I said before i rushed off after the new girl.

Chris was out next, then me. I tried to catch up with both of them but the mob of people came, pushing me to the back. i sighed, it wasn't like i was going to say anything to her, what could i say, but i wanted so badly to meet her.  Of course Chris disappeared, Christine and Carolyn laughed and i watched helplessly as  Christine stuck her foot out to the poor victim. sadly the new girl pushed her way in and tripped over Christine's foot, she  started to go down. Thankfully her arms went backwards so I lunged and grabbed her. Pulling her to her feet, just in front of me,  I just stared at her, she studied me, then she spoke.  My heart did fifty push ups, and it took my a while  to process that she was actually talking to me. i soon found out that she was in the same 1st period as me and I took her to her first class that was with Chris. and it just had to be dreadful P.E. Chris hated the class the most because of Eren, who was on the football team and liked to tease him. 

Chris conducted a race at first we all ran at the same speed.  Fiora started to hum to the song that was playing, she acted as if nothing could go wrong and that she was the only one there. Chris and I stared at her, she acted so innocent to the world and her voice was just as beautiful as she was. we ran for what seemed like forever and coach bray made us run more laps than we had all wanted. being next to her was a great feeling and place to be. 

It went on like that for three more weeks, until Fiora called one rainy day. We met at her house, it was our because it was to rainy. Then we started to run, we ran through main street in the rain, it was so much fun. We ran until we stopped at a park when a lightning bolt struck near us. Chris and I hit the ground trying not to be a target of another bolt, but Fiora just stood there. She said something and took of to one of the hills as if someone was there. I yelled for her if she heard me then she was ignoring me, she kept running. Chris got up and ran after her I caught up with Chris. Fiora fell on her knees and picked up the guy on the muddy floor of the hill. He looked a lot like Chris, all pale and dark shaggy hair, though he wore the strangest clothes. He looked like he was from another era.. The poor guy was out cold as if he fell straight from the sky.

Fiora said breaking the silence "We have to help him."

The kid groaned. Fiora helped him and me and her made a seat with our arms the way they taught us in health class, and in the movies. 

"lets take him to my place, my moms gone and I anyway need to clean the house up." Fiora said.

When we got to Fiora's house it looked like an old museum. We put him on her bed and he groaned with the movement, i was still curious why we hadn't called the cops or the paramedics but she had insisted on not doing that. Fiora sent me to go get paper towels, towels, soda, and water, Chris came with me.

"who do you think he is?" I asked him

"I have no idea, kinda strange though, we find a dude lying on the ground right were the lightning hits. Where is the soda?" Chris asked as he walked over to the fridge. 

he took out three cans and shrugged. 

"It all is weird." he added.

We heard a crash, Chris and I exchanged looks and looked up the stairs. We ran up the stairs three by three. The bathroom light and door were open. Fiora and the guy was there, though he was in face first. 

"Would you mind helping me?" she asked.

i nodded and got in the tub and hoisted the boy up into a sitting position before he moaned. aloud.  Fiora then started to strip the boy from his riding boots and his jacket and thin shirt. he moaned again, a twinge of jealously crossed me. i shook off those feelings, what was i thinking! i already am dating Christine, i sighed now realizing how bad a girl i had chosen. Fiora began to hose down the boy with the shower head which knocked me out of my daze. Chris was watching me with a quizzical look, as if he could read my mind.  she wiped the mud off his arms and chest and got straight to work, making Chris and i help her whenever necessary. not long enough she ordered us out because we kept getting in her way,   Chis and I went down stairs and sat down at the table.
