Cobalt Blue

Oh God. He's staring at me. You can feel his eyes follow your every movement. They're pressing down on you. He's trying to guilt trip me. You spare a glance in his direction and immediately regret it.

As soon as you see those bright, cobalt blue eyes you can't help but lock your own eyes onto them. Neither of you dare to blink. For a moment, you can't think. It's almost like those damned eyes have wiped your mind clean.

You sigh. I'm going to regret this. You move towards him, digging through the large purse at your side. You hesitate before pulling out a crumpled 20 dollar bill. You drop it in the hat he's holding out. Huffing, you turn around.

You can still feel his eyes on you. What? Is he not satisfied? Does he want more? You turn around to glare at him but as you look behind you, you're startled out of your anger.

He's smiling at you. It's the most beautiful smile you've ever seen. As you stare into his eyes, you can't help but smile back.

A/N: So that's the first story... it may seem random and confusing but there's context, I swear. See... I was at Goodwill and I found an amazing sweater. Like the best sweater I've ever seen. Somehow this sweater reminded me of the people on the streets that beg for money. I don't know why it just gave that kinda feel. And that was what caused this story... ok yeah that wasn't any less confusing. Oh well. Lemme just explain...

This story is about a woman who is walking down the street and comes across a young boy begging for money... the rest is pretty obvious. She struggles to ignore him but ends up giving him money anyway. She is unhappy with the fact that she just gave away 20 dollars but when she sees him smile she knows it was worth it.

I hope that if anyone is reading this they at least liked the story... please leave constructive critism! Now...

That's all folks!
