A Drop In The Ocean

Out Of The Blue

Out Of The Blue

    I went to school the next morning and Abby, my best friend approaches me as soon as I enter our room.

“Hey! You need to tell me something.” She said as she shakes me.

“What?” I said as I stop her.

“Come here.” She led me to my desk and shows me a box. “What’s this all about?”

“I don’t know. I just arrived, maybe they just misplaced it.” I said as I look at the box and I saw something was written on it.

Sam

“Now, can you tell me?” Abby said,

“I really don’t have any idea about this, or who is it from.” I said as I look closely at the box.

“Oh come on! Just open it.” Abby said as she grabs my hand.

“Ok! Ok!” Once I opened the box, I saw two silver lucky charms which are entwined together. I pulled it out and I saw a star. There’s smaller star which is inside the bigger star, as I turn it around I saw something was engraved on it.

                I’m always watching you.

                I put it back right away and close the lid of the box.

“What is it?” Abby asked.

“It’s a lucky charm, but I can’t tell who is it from.” I said as I put it inside my bag and take my seat.

“I think you got a secret admirer.” Abby said as she went to her seat.

“I wish.” I said and we both laugh together.

                Our homeroom teacher went in; she’s in a floral dress and a pair of pink high heels. You can see our teacher wearing either a floral dress or a simple pink dress; I think her favorite color is pink.

“Good morning class! Maybe you’re wondering why I’m here at this very moment.” She said but

nobody dare to answer her.

“Ok, I’m here to announce something to all of you,” she said as she signals something at the door. Then a young guy about our age went in.

“We’ve got ourselves a new student. His name is Nathan, Nathan Cruise. His family just, moves in here in Oklahoma, I hope you’ll treat him nice.”

“Hello everyone.” He said as our eyes met. I saw his beautiful brown eyes, and his golden dark brown hair. I almost melted when he smiled at us and look at my direction.

“Ok class. Mr. Cruise will join us from now on.” Our teacher said, “You can sit there, beside Ms. Stone.” As she points at the empty seat beside me.

“Ok, I think we’ll start our class in a minute, bring out all you books and turn it to page 17.”

                As he walks towards the empty seat right next to me, he looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him and immediately turn my attention to my book.

“Hi, I’m Nathan, and you are?” He said as those beautiful eyes met mine.

“Oh! I’m Sam, Sam Stone.” I said as Mrs. Blaire caught my attention,

“Ms. Stone.”

“Yes ma’am?” I said as I stood up.

“Can you share your book with Mr. Cruise?”

“Ok ma’am.” I said as I sit back.

                Nathan moves his chair closer to mine and shove his face on the book. I laugh at him and he laugh back. As the classes ended, Abby went up to us.

“Hello Newbie. I’m Sam’s Best friend, Abby.”

“Nice to meet you Abby.” Nathan Said.

“Do you have any plan after school?” Abby asked.

“Abby!” I scream.

“What? I’m just making friends here, and that’s what Mrs. Blaire said.” Abby said and turn to Nathan.

“I’m sorry Abby; I need to go home right away. We need to fix our things at home, and my Grandma is waiting for me.” He said as those eyes went worried.

“Oh! It’s ok; I bet we can hang out some other time.” Abby said.

“Come on Abby, Let’s go!” I said as I pull her.

“See you tomorrow Nathan.” As Abby went shouting.

“What’s your problem Sam?” Abby said.

“Nothing.”

“Are you…” She said and paused for a while, “Wait! Don’t’ tell me you like him?”

“Of course not! We barely know each other.”

“Come on Sam, I can see it through your eyes.” Abby said as she lift my face,

“You’re wrong about that.” I said as I walk away from her.

“Wait up Sam!” She shouted.

                As I arrived at our house, mom was there already preparing for our supper.

“Mom! I’m home.” I said as I went to the kitchen.

“How’s your day sweetie?” She said as she kisses me on the cheeks.

“Pretty rough, but I’m fine, don’t worry.” I said, “I’ll just change my clothes.”

                I went up and changed my clothes and fixed my stuff. I saw the box from earlier and look at it once more. I opened my drawer and put it in. then my eyes caught the sight of the journal. I grab it and flip through its pages.

March 5 1956

                Someone just moved in, in our neighborhood. They had a son named Gale, Gale Hughes. He has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve met him a while ago as mom and I went to greet them. I was at the side of my mom when we’ve approached them. We gave our greetings to them and that was the moment when I saw Gale. He has green eyes, brown hair and a white complexion.

                As we said our goodbye’s to them, I remembered that Gale told me

something,  “Nice Smile.” I looked at him at that very moment and said “Nice eyes.”

                I went back to my room and I can’t stop smiling.
