That story doe

Chapter 1

I had stood in amazement, my eyes wide and my mouth gaping. Her wavy hair was long,strawberry blonde, and had looked softer than silk. It had sat perfectly on her shoulders,going from a close cut on the back of her head to a longer,flowier cut near her face. Her eyes were an emerald green, sparkling and even the dullest of moments. And her skin, pale and soft, had been blanketed with freckles. She had been amazing in every way possible. She was kindhearted and selfless. The most beautiful woman in the world, inside and out, and she had been all his. But now, she was gone. And the woman standing in front of him, resembled her nearly every way, aside from the scar.

My eyes couldn't be averted and my heart beat accelerated. Blood rushed to my face and I was short of breath. His perfectly tan skin with the most beautiful background for his huge brown eyes,which gave him a naïve present. His long brown hair fell right above his eyes. And it was luscious looking. I had never seen anyone like him. He was a godlike figure, or at least, he looked so. I wish he would look at me or even come over and talk to me. No, that would be a terrible idea. Daddy would kill me. I can't fall in love with anybody but Cole. But Cole was nothing compared to this boy, I don't think. Maybe daddy will let me be friends with this boy. I just need to convince him. But how? Even if I gave him the best reasons on earth he'd think Id want to date this boy. Daddy thinks Coles perfect, but I don't even know him! He could be a horrible person I wouldn't know. Lost in thought, I didn't notice when the boy walked up to me with an aloof gait.

"Hey, I'm Santiago. Are you by any chance related to diamond rivers? I know this is weird, but you look so much like her..." he awkwardly whispered. Am I dreaming or is he blushing right now? I thought in amazement.

"Um,no. At least,I don't think so. I'm Jessie, by the way." I mutter. Oh my god. Am I really talking to him? I think, my mind racing faster than my heart.

"Hey Jessie. You actually look familiar. Can you turn around?"

"Uh,sure?" I questioningly say, "Why though?" I finish,now turned around.

"I know this sounds weird but sometimes I remember where I see people by looking at the back of them." He shyly responded.

"WAIT! You're just checking out my ass arent you?!" I exclaim. Suddenly, his face turns beet red and he looks at the ground,talking at the speed of light.

"NO! I swear, I would never. I'm not like that I promise! I'm not a pervert! I mean, I get dirty jokes but-"

"Whoa calm down! I was only joking!" I giggled, then returned my gaze to his face.

"But seriously, we should hang sometime Santi, if you're okay with me calling you that."

"Sure, whenever you want. I'm usually free, aside from the days I work. But that's not too often. Do you have your phone with you?"

"Yeah,here you go." I say, handing him the phone with a smile plastered to my face. I watch him take my phone and quickly type in his number.

"Here you go Jessie, text me whenever." He hands me back my phone and for a slight second, our hands touch and I can't help but turn as red as a tomato.

"Bye!" He shouts while running off.

"Bye!" I call back, not liking the cold feeling I got when he walked away. As I peered down at my phone I couldn't help but literally laugh out loud at the name he typed in. It read: "Santi Stares-At-Your-Ass." Maybe this ones different.

SANTIAGOS POV

As I ran away I couldn't help but blush. Goddamned capallaries. She was just so beautiful, even with the scar on her face. I wonder where she got it.

"SHIT!" I scremed," That hurt like hell!" I murmered, rubbing my head. As I looked up, I realized something very important. I. Am. An. Idiot. I ran into a freaking pole.

"Insert 'you gotta be kidding me' emoji here." I said to myself, rolling my eyes. I immediatly pushed myself up, hoping no one noticed but becoming dissappointed when I noticed Jessie giggling and face palmimg herself.

"I'M OKAY!" I scream at her, giving two thumbs up and grinning like an idiot. Why are you such an idiot Santi? Wait,no. Thats her nickname for me. Nobody else can call me that but her.

"HEY SANTIAGOOOOO! GET OVER HERE BRO!"

"What the.." Is all that managed to escape before 5 of my jdiot friends trapped me under a dog pile.

"DUDES GET OFF!! I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU! I MET A GIRL! AND U THINK I LIKE HER!" In a second flat,every single one of them was off me and screming a milliom questions in my ear. But the only comment that stood out was the one my best friend Uriah whispered in my ear.

"Dude. Your parents are going to kill you if they find out you like a girl!" In that instant I froze and couldnt breathe.

"No. Uriah no. They can't know! please! I can't take anymore pain!" I begged him, hearing the pleady cowardice in my voice.

"Uriah I cant let them know,please! I'll say shes a friend. That we met through you. Please Uri." I could feel the heat rising within me and the burning tears building up in my stinging eyes. I felt the need to crawl into a corner and pull ou my razor. It was the only thing that would get me away from the suffering I felt in the presence of my parents. I needed to get away.
