Love Without A Face

A new friend

I started to change out of the jersey. "Hey!" A girl grabbed me I was trying to undress but she wouldn't let me "you can't change in public you'll attract the perverts." She took me by the wrist and dragged me in the girls changing room. I shook my head and tried to say no but it was too late I was inside with no way out.

"No I can't be in here!" I yelled my face all red. I saw them start changing taking off their clothes my face turning an even lighter shade of pink. I turned around and began to change

"Why are you so red? You embarrassed?" A girl asked. She was about five feet tall seven inches she was tan and had brown curly hair.

"No!" I said almost immediately. Wait a second; this would be a good time to look at their jerseys. No I can't do that! But I looked, anyway, hot blood rushing to my cheeks. I took one quick glance and then threw off the outfit racing out as fast as I could.

"What is it with you?" She asked looking concerned. She looked into my eyes I felt as if she cared I really wanted to tell her what was wrong but I doubt she would believe me I feel like I'm in some type of romance book or something.

The only one who believes me is Zach she kind of reminded me of him, maybe I could tell her. "Is it your time of month?" She asked innocently.

I bit my lip and dug my nails deeply into my thigh. I had to resist the urge to go off on her. "N...No... It is not..." I said through gritted teeth after I answered there was a definite feeling of awkwardness in the air. "I'm not even a girl...I'm a guy..." I admitted embarrassed.

"Sure you aren't" she joked laughing slightly thinking what I said was a lie. She looked at my face and realized that I was telling the truth. Before I could even blink it had happened I felt the side of my face stinging painfully.

"Oww! What the hell!?" I said putting my hand over the newfound mark across my face.

"You pervert how could you sneak into the girls changing room like that?!" She practically yelled at me I quickly put my hand to her lips and told her to shush she roughly pushed my hand away. "Stop don't you dare put your finger anywhere near my mouth I don't know where they have been." She said with her indoor voice.

"First of all, you pulled me in here." I said and got slapped again.

"So you could have resisted or said something." She yelled again.

"Quiet down, Second I did try to say something." I said silencing her. "I'm sorry I really did 'try' to say something." I explained putting an emphasis on try. "I'm sorry I'm just really bad at talking to girls." I disclose to her my face heating up, the young girl had a slight look of pity in her eyes for a second then, it was replaced with anger again.

"That is still not a valid excuse" She fumed ready to slap me again but she stopped herself before following though.

"If that is true that you are bad at talking to girls then why do you seem to talk to me so easily?" She questioned not believing me.

"I don't know, I think its cause you remind me of a friend." I think that was what the reason behind this small miracle anyway.

"So you mind telling me why you are here in the first place?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Uh... I'm looking for 'someone'." I tell her it wasn't a lie. She noticed my hesitation and the way I seem to pronounce someone.

"How does this 'someone' look?" She asked using her fingers to put quotation marks around the word "someone".

"Uh... well she has hair and um... a face... and uh... I give up I'm not exactly sure how she looks." I admitted after I completely failed at making up a description.

"You honestly expect me to believe that! So you are looking for someone that you honestly have no idea how he/she looks? Just think of what you have told me". Her voiced raised slightly as an eyebrow arched. She really did know just how to make me feel dumb. I suddenly remembered how useless this search was. A frown suddenly started to cross my face then I remembered Zach's encouraging words and started to grin.

"Yes I am." I stated mater-of-factly." I also won't give up till I find her." I turned ready to run off and continue my search when I felt a tugging on my arm.

"You know you are really strange but then again I kind of am too she laughed. I think you're interesting so I might just help you because I honestly have nothing better to do." She stated smiling.
