Killing an Eo's

The first time I ever had a normal conversation with him, I embarrased myself to all extents. To me he was  popular, and I knew no one, he was funny, and I was just crazy, he flirted with all the girls, and had them all going for him. Little did I know that in reality none of this was true. 

Our whole school, being a rich private school, went on an overnight field trip so that people could get to know eachother. There I decided to make friends, to try and talk to the girls in my class, so I put on my best smile, and my loudest voice, I put on my best clothes, and my cutest laugh. I transformed myelf to be liked. It seemed to work, but was it really worth being something that I was not? 

All the freshmen girls were in the same cabin. Sophia and I, who were now good friends went to walk across the grounds before dinner. They were truly beautiful. Huge evergreen trees, that seemed to have no end, were in every corner of the field. Skirting the field were vast forests, and on the far right there was a relief of all the trees and instead an opening to a large lake. Our cabin was one more in the woods. Once we got to the eating hall we met up with some friends and started covnversing about who knows what, when suddenly Tyler was behind one of the senior girls. He poked her side and ran. Appearenly she was not one to be messed with, she screamed a rather loud angry screech and chucked her Eos chapstick at a tree near his face. It cracked in half and broke.Everyone was practically dying of laughter. He came out of behind the tree, choking of laughter, and raising his arms saying sorry. 

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!" she asked accusingly

"I thought you were someone else!" he said.

"You're paying for that chapstick!" she said, half angry, half laughing. 

Laughing I looked down and notcied that he had a deep bloody cut on his left knee.

"What happened?" I said pointing at his knee

"I got bitten by alligators." He said. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the fact that I was talking to him, but I believed him. 

"What?!" I said, shocked. Everyone burst out in laughter.

"I didn't actually get bitten by alligators." he said laughing so hard he was about to cry. I was laughing too, and so was everyone else. My cheeks turned red out of embarassment and laughter. I hope he doesn't think I'm an idiot I thought. We kept talking until dinner, and we finally became friends. A friendship that would turn into so much more.
