The Stars Don't Lie

Chapter 2 Rush

☆Star☆

My mom's a librarian. She works at the library down the block. The library is beautiful!  It's all retro and madevial-ish. The inside is all wood with super tall windows covering 60 percent of the walls. And the amount of books there? Don't even get me started...

I've read almost every book in the library. The only ones left are the old English poems and mature -slash- romantic books.

I like to keep my mind clean. But really, I just don't want to read again what I read a few years back...scarred for life this mind.

And my dad?  He's in the army. He's gone outa the country for a few months. It's something to do with him being the head of his troop. So cool.. 

He's usually never home...me and mom miss him a lot all the time. But we keep ourselves occupied with our work to not miss him too much. We call him though. Every Friday night. Just thinking about all of this makes me smile.

                             *****

"Okay honey, I'm off to the library. Make yourself a sandwich if you feel hungry. Oh and "

"I know I know, you might be gone for a night shift cuz the library just got a whole new stock of books and there's a lot of stuff to do. Bye mom! "

I shook my head and giggled at the last part. Mom kissed my forhead and smiled. "Love you dear, stay safe"

"Love ya! "

Locking the door I went up to my room. And the first thing I did was put on headphones while turning the audio to the highest. With that, I took a pencil and notepad in hand and started doodling stuff.

All of a sudden,  a football!  Yes,  a good ol'darn football came flying through my window and landed straight on my bed with a bounce and a thud.

Wth???

Note to self: never leave your window open when people are playing football outside.
Not that I actually knew people we're playing football outside.

Like any other normal and average  person. Hahahha... Hah......

Anyway, like any other normal person, I went to my window and popped my head out looking for the unlucky person who did this. I wasn't really annoyed by a football crashing in my room..rather I was more annoyed by the fact that I had to take my headphones off at the best part of the song.

"Hey! I think..the football came through your window?"

Oh shit...its him again. It's Janus..
And why do I care again? 

"Yeah.. It did!  Wait I'll throw it back! "

"Nononoo don't!!  Don't throw it back!"

Don't throw it back?  Doesn't he want the ball??

"Then... How will you get it back?"

Already moving to the front side of the house he said, "just hand it over through your main door! "

Okay then... This guy has his own ways I guess.

Grabbing the ball I went ahead to give it to him. But just before I went out my room, I looked at the mirror. Do I look okay?

Woah woah, why does it even matter..

Gripping the ball from one arm, and unlocking the door, I opened it.
He was standing there. His dark hair all messed up and covering his eyes. His eyes... They were so..

Snap out of it Star!!  Just give the darn ball back.

"Here... "

He took the ball from me. Our hands brushed again!!!!

"Thanks.. Sorry though. Didn't realize that  would happen. " he looked kinda embarrassed.. So cute!!

"Oh it's fine.. Don't worry about it.."

We exchanged smiles and  just before he turned to walk away, he said,
"Star, right?"

What ever the reason was I stupidly blushed like a little girl. I think he noticed cuz the next you know he just smirked and walked away.

                                *****

◇Janus◇

  "Yo Janus ,wanna go for some football practice?" Drake said while ruffling up my hair. Boy do I hate when he does that..

"Cant you see I'm busy? " I said while setting my hair.

"You've been on that computer for more than two hours now. You could use the fresh air. C'moon "

I sighed...I really am horrible at football. It's just not my thing. But Drake's really good at it. He's won loooads of different matches and wants me to practice too....
"Fine.. But I'm telling you, I'll complain a lot"

                               *****

"Hey Drake!!  What up man? "

Drake's pal Jacob came by and apparently now they're both talking. Drake left me to practice on my own. wasn't playing football his idea?... Great... Juuust great.

"Do some more practice !  I'll be back in a minute or two! " Drake said while walking away with his bud.

Let's get this over with... *sigh*

KICK!!!

"holy.. "

My jaw dropped in amusement. DID I JUST KICK THE BALL SO HIGH IT WENT INTO THAT WINDOW?!?! 

Oh no..

It went into that window!!

I really don't want Drake to find out..

                               *****

I met her again.
Not only that, we brushed our hands again!
Why can't i stop thinking about that??

Deep breath Janus. Stop acting like you're in love. Idiot..
