Save You, Save Me

The Calm Before The Storm

I walk around town, slow looking over at the building and things they contained. When I can up to this small, gray building. There hung a poster in the window, it was big and had a huge angler fish and the huge white letters stuck on top. The words said "The World of Guertena." I continued to read about The World of Guertena. Who? Well lets see he's an artist, he had a way of making his art and he dead. So they're having a showcase for his art in two days. Huh maybe I should go? I straight up, turn and start walking as I stare in the window.

"WAAA" I hear as I fell to the ground. I turn my head to see a guy in front of me. He stood there holding an empty coffee cup... really me I made this poor man spill his coffee on himself. Looking back at him I noticed his hair was lavender, and his eyes were a deep blue, they almost looked black. He was wearing a tattered blue coat, a soft light green t-shirt and brown pants.

He looked down at his clothes a little annoyed. "Sorry" I said quietly. He looked up from his clothes and down at me. He facealy fetchers softened. " Are you alright?"He asked as he extended his hand. I took his hand and he pulled me up . He pulled me up so fast it caused me to fall slightly forward causes him to grab my shoulder so I didn't fall into him completely. I looked up realizing how tall he actually was, I jumped back and found my face was feeling warm.

"I'm alright" I said. "That's good" he said with a huge smile. I found myself smiling back. " I'm sorry about the coffee." I said quietly as I looked down. I noticed a book on the ground, I knelt down and picked it up. I look at the cover and read the front. It reads Works of Guertena "I think this is your?" I said as I stand back up and handed it to him. "Thank you" he said to me as his smile grow, if that even possible.

"Are you going to see the art exhibit?" He asks pointing back at the building. "Most likely" I mumtered. He laughs quietly to himself. I look up at him before I look around. I noticed that some of my classmates are staring at me. Those damn girls, they giggle and snicker as they walk away. I turn back the gentleman and see that he is looking over at those girls. " do you know those girls?" he asked me, still look over where they were. "Ya, they are in school with me." I muttered. School....SCHOOL OH NO. "um... I'm sorry, but I have to go." I said as I walk away. " It was nice meeting you." he yells as I start running.

I took off my schools and throw them in my locker as I put on my other shoes. I grab my books and my sketchbook. I run to class and make it long before the bell rings. I sigh as I take my seat. I could have talked long to that guy. I stare out the window and watches as it rains. Well maybe not. I open my sketchbook and start to draw. Why does it rain almost all the time? I look back out the window. Who was that guy?
