Why can't I be with him?

Here goes nothing.......

Calm down Evie. It is going to be okay.

I have been saying this the whole time I have been on the bus and it isn't working. I am trying to work up my courage, but I can't. I need to breath.

When I open my eyes I realize we are already getting ready to drop me off. I walk off the bus and turn around. The bus driver drives off and I see him walking towards the field.

I finally decide to stop being stupid and just talk to him.

I walk across the road and stand in front of him looking right in his eyes. He seems very confused. I take a deep breath.

" Hi, I'm Evelyn, but you can call me Evie." I say putting my hand out.

He raised his eyebrow at me. He grabs my hand and shakes it gently.

"I'm Tyrece, what's a small girl like you doing talking to someone like me?" He asks, squinting at me.

I frown at him. Why do people keep saying it like it's wrong? I just want to get to know him.

"I want to talk to you." I say still frowning.

"What you wanna talk about?"

"I want to talk about you." I say happy at his cooperation.

"What do you mean by that?" He says backing up slightly.

"Uh-umm what sorta things do you do?"

At this he laughs. I frown deeper than before confused at why he is laughing. He sees my face and gradually stops laughing.

"You're serious, aren't you?"

" Of course I am, why would I be joking?"

He hesitates a little at my question.

"We don't get many people like you around here." He says looking down at his shoes.

"Oh." I say confused at the response but thought nothing of it.

He looks up at me and has a small smile.

"What?" I ask even more confused than before.

"I probably shouldn't be saying this, but you make the cutest face when your confused. "

At this I blush. Not any blush, more like I can be a tomato blush.

He sees my face and chuckles. Making me blush even more. He slowly calms down and looks right in my eyes. I stand frozen looking directly into his.

I love the color of his eyes. They are a beautiful caramel that compliments his skin. He is lighter than most black people I have seen. He has a beautiful smile.

"Hello?" He calls, snapping me out of my trance.

"S-sorry, what was that?" I ask

He chuckles,"I said I had to go, but maybe-" he pauses seeming to consider what he was about to say.

"What is it?" I step closer to him. Now we are only about a couple inches apart. He notices this, but doesn't move.

"Maybe we can, I don't know, meet like this again?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"I would love that!" I say smiling big at the suggestion.

He smiles back and then starts to walk backwards towards the field, smirking. I blush a little and play with my hands. All the while we keep eye contact.

When he turns around I bite my lip and do the same. While walking up the walkway, I can't stop smiling.

I can't believe that actually happened. I finally talked to him. Plus, he wants to see me again.

I should wear something nice. Or should I try to be casual. Oh god now I'm over thinking.

I just need to relax he didn't have a problem with what I normally wear to school. Which is usually a plain dress I find in my closet. I'll  just wear the usual.

I get up stairs and run up to my room.

I need to right what happened in my diary.
