The Sun Is Blue.

Chapter 3

I ran as fast as I can and finally managed to catch up to her.

"Miss, excuse me!" I said as loud as I can. She stopped just as I managed to reach her. I crashed against her, our bodies colliding painfully to each other. Considering both of us were fairly skinny, having that kind of crash with our bony bodies was honestly not the best feeling in the world.

I groaned as I pulled myself up, rubbing my sore shoulder from the impact. I quickly made my way towards her as I saw her stand up as well while brushing the dirt away from her expensive dress.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I rushed towards her, worriedly looking at her to see if she got injured. She shook her head with a smile.

"It's okay, it's my fault anyway for stopping out of the blue." She said with a smile that crinkles her eyes. Up close, she was more gorgeous than I could ever imagine. I spot a tiny mole on the underside of her jaw, where it connects to her neck. I quickly looked away, afraid that she caught me staring.

But it was her that was staring, and her eyes held a mysterious force that drawn me to her.

"So what is it that you need?" She finally asked me.

"Uh, no. Actually," I stuttered. "You forgot this and I figured, here." I handed her handkerchief.

And I figured I'll grab this chance to talk to you because I think you're super, duper cute.

"Oh, thanks. I didn't even noticed that I forgot it. This is important to me, thank you." She said, taking the handkerchief and looking down and staring at it warmly. She looked up again from underneath her eyelashes, flashing me an innocent smile.

I nodded, feeling my face heat up.

"Is there anything I can do for you? As a thank you gift or something." She asked, moving closer to me. I caught a whiff of a citrus perfume. I unconsciously moved back.

You see, the thing is, a normal response should be: Oh, no thanks. This is nothing; flash a smile and then leave. I did the unthinkable and prioritized my big, fat, mouth.

I looked down, biting my lower lip. I felt the cold sweat building from my forehead.

"Then," I gulped. "Can you give me your number?" I asked. Her eyes widened as I gasped at my own words.

I moved back even more as I felt myself panicking. "I mean you don't have to if you don't want to!" I exclaimed. I bit my lip and turned slightly to the side, ready to walk away. " I mean, I'm not being weird or anything. I just think you are cute and-" My words faltered when I realized what I just said. "I want to be your friend, that's it." I stepped back again. "Bye." I finally turned, my face wincing.

"Wait." I heard her said softly.

I hesitantly turned and was surprised to see her so close to me. She probably moved closer when I turned without me noticing. Her eyes are dark and reminded me of a cat's. She's just too cute and I can smell the scent of citrus in the air.

"I think you're cute too." She said with a sly smile. "Sure, I can give you my number. Give me your phone." She said, smiling up at me. I'm a few inches taller than her and I have to look down slightly in order to meet her eyes.

"Huh?" I uttered.

"Your phone, give it to me." She said. I let my hand wander from my backpocket only to freeze when I felt nothing. I could feel her stare on me as I rummaged through my bag. Nothing, I must have forgotten it!

I looked up sheepishly at her and smiled awkwardly.

"I kind of forgot it. I'm sorry!" I said, looking down in embarrassment. Why is nothing right happening to me today?
