Shining Star

Those First Words

"Am I one or the haters?"

Why would he even think that?! I'm not one of the kids that were abusing him earlier. Yes, I have his necklace, but, that is only because I need to give it to him. I don't know what they were planning to do with it; I'd feel terrible if something happened to it. Especially if I could have prevented it. I guess he doesn't know that I have it for a good reason though. It comes back to my mind that I'd ignored him twice. I would too question a persons loyalty if they did that to me. I can't help feeling that I am not making a very good first impression.

I must say something, and I must say it really soon. If I don't, he won't believe that I am not a hater. I have no intention of hurting him but I'm sure he his feeling hurt because of my ignorance; and their actions. I try to think of what to say. I don't want to say anything to offend him yet I don't want to be boring and make no conversation. Ideas are spiralling around my head - they're giving me a headache but I'm sure Leondre is suffering much, much more than me.

I turn my head to the side of which Leondre is sat. We make eye contact but the caring type; not the awkward, romantic type. Inside the black splodges surrounding around them, I notice his eyes are a beautiful, deep brown. They have a mysterious look about them - you can tell a story from them. I open my mouth, about to say something yet my words just run dry.

His face instantly looks hurt and full of betrayal. I watch his lips begin to quiver and his eyes fill will pain and loneliness. I see the tears running down his cheeks. He tries to hold them back , but they still come down flooding his already damaged face.

Before I can attempt to say anything, again. I hear chair legs scraping against the tiled floor, followed by hurried footsteps. He ran away from me. And I cannot express how awful I feel about it.
