Color Blind

Chapter 1: The Kindling

     Today is Monday. Leo and I are sitting next to each other in home room. Leo being his anti-social self is ignoring everyone and reading to me, although he's wasting his breath since I'm only half paying attention. I was busy wishing I could go home while looking at the window. Suddenly just when everything became boring, a girl walked past. She was in full color... Surprised and terrified I slowly got up and backed away from the window, tripping on my bookbag. Fortuanately Leo caught me.

     "Faith you okay? What happened?" Leo cried. 

     "Yea, I'm fine. I'll explain everything later at you're house," I told him, comepletely oblivious to the fact that everyone was whispering about the position we were in.

     He nodded in agreement and that's when I noticed that he was holding me bridle style. I blushed of embarrassment and looked away. Leo noticed it too and flushed.

     "S-sorry," he stuttered flustered. 

     "It's fine," I said and grinned at him with tinted cheeks.

     He smiled back and said "Thanks sheepie." It was normal of him to call me that but this time I blushed.

     After returning to our seats I spent the entire day thinking about the colored girl. I saw her in full color! It was amazing. I wished that I could see Leo in full color.

   I hadn't realized class was over until Leo tapped my shoulder "Faith, you okay?" He was violently shaking at this point.

    "Yes I'm fine!" I cried and pinched his cheeks. "Thanks I'm dizzy now."

     "Ouch sorry," he apologized while laughing

     We packed up and walked to his house. "Ok confess," Leo said when we got there.

     "Oh I'm not ready to confess my undying love for you," I replied jokingly. 

     He flushed and said "Not that. Unless you really do love me."

     "I'm just kidding," I said and explained the colorful girl. "You probably think I'm going crazy..."

     "No I believe you. But how is that possible?" Leo said.

     "I have no idea," I replied trembling. Leo hugged me to comfort me. "Thanks."

     Leo kissed my cheek and said "No problem. Always wanna help you." I was comepletely dumbfounded and blushing.

     "Wanna watch something?" Leo asked as if nothing happened. 

     "Sure..." I said and took his pillow and hugged it.
