Beauty and The Beast

Chapter 43

Drew

"You're so funny" Madison laughed, putting her head on my arm

I took puffs of my cigarette

We were sitting on the bleachers, she insisted on coming here since dance class would soon start

"Am I?"

"Yes"

I'm really not interested in this girl, she's unnecessarily clingy. Like babe, I met you a few days ago

We met on the day I found out Bella made a bet about me

*flashback*

Don't take it personal but personally

I think you'd be better with somebody like me

But first of all, you don't even see

You don't even see

Don't take it personal but personally

I think you'll be better with somebody like me

But first of all, you don't even see

You don't even see

I blasted music on my headphones. I was at the park, sitting alone on the bench

Obviously, who would want to sit next to the beast?

A ball rolled over to me, I picked it just in time for a little boy to come forward

I'm guessing he's the owner. He hesitated a little bit. He looked about four to five years old

I motioned for him to come closer but he stood still

I know what he's scared of; the scar on my eye

"Come on, I won't hurt you"

Slowly he walked towards me

"Hey" I said

"Hi"

"Are you scared of me?"

He nodded

"Why?"

"The- the scar on your eye"

"You don't need to be scared. I'm not a bad guy"

He smiled

"Okay"

"Can I give you an advice?"

"Sure"

"Don't judge people by their appearance; get to know them, alright?"

"Alright"

"Here's your ball"

He grinned widely

"Thank you so much"

"You're welcome buddy"

"You wanna come play with me and my friends?"

"Naah, maybe next time love"

"Okay"

I held up my hand and he gave me a high five before running off to play with this friends

"Wow, nice one. You have a way with kids" a girl said sitting beside me

"Excuse me?"

"The way you talked to that kid about judging,you probably changed his life forever"
