The Exploration

Gazing a the stars

I slaped my book closed on my desk. So thankful that the last bell had rung. Walking out of the classroom to the busy hallways I made my way to my locker.  I loved the Navy blue painted on them. It made the white walls look less plain and boring. Opening my locker I grabed my books and dumped them into my gray bag. 

Slaming my locker shut I walked toward the exit. My bag bumping into other people other people that walked with either blank faces of small smiles. We all like zombies. I was just glad to be leaving school. 

Next stop the coffee shop. I smile thinking about my favorite shop in town. I passed the other open shops and fast food resturants. At the sound of my stomach growl I hastened my pace in antipation. As I passed the flower shop and the bakery I smiled and waved at the owners.  Linda watering her flowers and Jacob decorating his new Masterpice. The smell of the flowers and desserts entwined made a sweet smell in the air.

Looks like today couldn't get any better. Entering my favorite coffee shop of all time I stoped and took in all the delicious smells. I went to go sit in my usual corner and pulled all my books out. While trying to organize my subjects I waited for my Vanilla Macchiato and my bible slipped out. I put it aside for now.

Suddenly I felt someone hovering over me. I turned expecting to see my drink in a waiters hand. Instead I was face to face with a boy who had bright Auburn hair and bright brown eyes with Freckels slpatterd all over his nose. Jumping back My hand flew to my books which landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"Sorry!" I exclamed and apologized. The boy didn't say anything. He just picked up the books, dusted them off, and set them down on the table. Surprising me even more he sat down in front of me. 

I continued to try to do my school work being careful not to be too distracted by his precence. My Vanilla Macchiato soon came and he was still present. He reached for my bible and paused.

"Can I see this?" He asked I looked up at him trying to hide my surprize. I looked over at my bible and it's black lether cover looking a bit dusty and worn out.

"Sure." I replied with a shrug . He took it flipping through the pages. I continued to watch him when he asked " You've heard the story of Abraham right?"

I smiled  at the memories in Childrens Church being taught the story many times. "Yeah."

He looked up at the celing. "Could you imagine what Abraham was thinking when he saw all those stars."

I shook my head. Who is this guy? First he scares me half to death now he wants to talk about bible stories? I shrug My shoulders  'Amazed I guess."

He leanes in a bit closer "Look up and imagine all the stars he could have saw. Billions and trillions.." He trailed of his eyes finding the celing again. I shrugged and looked up . What could go wrong?. I tried to imagine all the stars he could have seen but the more I tried the weirder I felt.

I sighed in Fustration Shking my head and looked back the boy . He met my eyes.

"Fustrated huh?" I nodded

"Whats your name?" He asked

'Amber. Yours?" I replied.

"Arron." He said with a daziling smile . He stuck out his hand and I shook it. 

"So Arron are you a Christian?" I asked 

"Yep." He answerd nodding "Are you?" 

"Yes" I say. He smiled once more.

"Thank you for letting me have this conversation with you Amber." I felt my eyes widen and he chuckled.

"Most people would see me as weird or annoying but you didn't or at least you didn't show it." I started to put my all my papers and books away. He seemed a bit dissapointed .

"Oh, are you leaving" He asked sadly.

"No." I say slowly "How do you imagine the stars?" I ask curiously.

He Grins. " First you close your eyes ofcourse.Then imagine sitting under the night sky and let the image sink into your mind. Finally open up your eyes slowly with that image in mine . Your not in the coffee shop anymore you're under the night sky with the stars as your light and the moon glowing so brightly . Your not Amber Your Abraham listening to Gods devine plan in your life comparing your offsping to the countless stars in the sky..."

He stops and continues to say something else but I can't hear anything anymore.

I can Finally see the stars. I smile closing my eyes again picturing the facinating image. Suddenly I feel a tug on my wrist.

"Amber" I open my eyes.

"Oh." I say reality coming back to me. I'm with Arron in the cafe. I stand up quickly remebering that I have to go home. I glance at my phone. 3:30. 

"Oh no."

"Whats wrong?" Arron lookes at me concerned.

"It's nothing I just have to get home."  He nods understanding "Me too." 

 He helps me pack the rest of my stuff into my bag.and hands me my bible."I hope I can see you again Amber" He said as we walked out together We waved goodbye and went our seperate ways.
