I opened my laptop and clicked on the browser. Google popped open and I typed:
Ways to describe blue
I searched until my history was full of ways to describe various colours. I had probably never done this much research for an English paper as much as I had done now. I waited all day in school for the day to pass so I could walk home and meet Julian outside the steps at his main door and describe the way things looked and how he sat quietly and listened patiently.
"What do I look like?" He asked quietly.
I was a little shocked and struggled for words. I swallowed and racked my brain.
"You have dark hair. Like the darkness of the universe. But there is streaks, like warm sunlight on a chilly day." I started dramatically. "That's how far my vocabulary is going." I sighed.
"Yeah that was a very deep description." He laughed darkly.
"I wish you could see the sunset." I said looking sadly to the sky which was array of bright colours.
"Me too." He said before abruptly getting up and stretching his hands out towards the door before opening it and going inside. I wondered for a long time if what I had said had offended him in any way. Then I realised it probably did. He wishes he could see too of course. I don't need to rub in the beauty of the visible world to him. I mentally smacked myself for what an idiot I was. I felt guilty and embarrassed that I had upset him. I should really think about words before I blurt them out for they hold unimaginable powers.
I had to make it up to him. I searched through my bookshelf moving books here and there until I found it where I had thrown it in sixth grade.
