A/N: Hello, how you going? anyway, i'm sorry this book isn't that exiting but it will be and i'm sorry the chapters are short but i hope you are enjoying the book. Thankyou if you are rewading this/voting for this, it actually means a lot.
Luke's p.o.v
"They aren't boring, you just gotta find one that you enjoy, that's exiting all way through, for example; Paper towns" she brings the book to my face and it makes me giggle which makes her giggle, she has the cutest giggle.
"You have beautiful eyes" I tell her, i've never noticed her hazel eyes, yet again this is only the second time i've seen her.
"Really? I reckon your eyes are so much better" she smiles
"What's so good about my eyes" i question
"They are just so, blue and beautiful. Blue"
"Blue, that's my favoutie colour " There is a couple of awkward silence seconds until my phone starts to buzz in my pocket. I check who it is and its Cathy (Cathy is Luke's ophan mum) "sorry i have to take this, It's Cathy"
"It's fine" I get up and walk a few meters away so she can;'t hear me. Cathy asks me if i'm coming home tonight and i say yes, she sounds surprised because i have been coming home a lot more than usual lately. I guess I haven't been wanting to go out lately.
After a few minutes later i return back to Belle, she has her head in her book again. "How many times have you read that?"
"This is my 2nd time reading this"
"oh cool" i nod
"why is that?"
"Oh, um well...I was wondering if i could borrow it, once your done obvisiouly. Whenever you are ready" why am i always so nervous around her, girls never have this kind of affect on me, I'm usually confindient but now i'm so...nervous.
"Of course you can Luke" she laughs "you don't have to be so nervous in asking me that"
"Thanks" she takes her book mark out which looks like her and her Mum, there a three photos and they are all in a line going down. Belle looks about 11 in those photos, she looks cute.
"Is that your Mum?"
"Yer" she sighs and smiles down at her picture
"Why don't you get an updated photo of you two?"
"She's...well, she's passed away" holy shit
"oh, I'm so sorry" Shit i feel so bad, i wonder how old she was when her mum died. I look at her face and see a tear fall down her cheek, I reach over and hug her.
"Sorry. Thanks though Luke" she smiles. "I should probably get going, I have work tomorrow" she gets up and starts walking "Bye Luke" and then she unlocks her car and starts drving away. I sit here for a while until i realise that Belle's blanket is still here and i'm sitting on it, I also have her book. How am I going to giver her stuff back, maybe i'll run into her soon and tell her that she forgot her blanket.
After a while I decide to head home, I stand up while grabbing the blanket and keeping a hold of the book. I start walking and it only takes a couple of mintes until i reach my house, I walk up the drive way and reach the front door. I open it and see Cathy and John watching TV on the big screen they have, its like a cienima. "Hey mate, didn;t expect you home today, how have you been" John asks
"Yer, i've actually been great, how about you?"
"yer, i'm grand. Are you off to bed?"
"yer, i'll see you in the morning, night" as I walk upstairs i glance downstiars and see that they are surprised that i've been nicer perhaps. I go to the bathroom and brush my teethe. Once i'm done i go to my bedroom, take all of my clothes except my black boxers. I turn the light off and jump into bed pulling the blanket over me.
After a few minutes of tossing and turning I turn my alram clock light on and grab Paper towns from my bed side table. I start reading the Prologue;
The way i figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightning, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a smsall nation in the Pacific Islands, or contact terminal ear cancer, or spontaneouslyt combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them willl proably happen to each of us.
I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelmen.......
After reading the Prologue and the first chapter, I place the book down on my bedside my bed. I turn the alarm light of and tuck myself in, I go to sleep almost immediately, much better than the first time.

Belle's p.o.v
I'ts 6;00 In the morning and i head to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I open the cupbored and pull out the bread, peatnut butter and a banna, I place verything on the bench and start spreading the peanut butter on my bread. After i slice some banna and put it on ym bread as well, I sit down and the tabel and eat my banna/peanut butter bread.
After i'm finished i head straight to the shower, I strip of, turn the cold then hot tap on and hop in. The. hot water feels amazing and I can't get myself out after a few minutes. It takes a lot of courage for me to hop out into the clod air but i mage to do it because i don't wanna be late for work. I wrab the towel around me and race to my bedroom, I open my closet and grab black skinny jeams as well as my k-mart shirt. I apply some perfume and check the time, its 6:45 i have 15 minutes until i leav for wokr, i feel like i'm forgtting something to do this morning. Oh that's right, brush my hair and actually put effort into it. I grab my comb and start brushing my tangled hair, wow, it would be so much easier if i cut my hair short i think to myself.
Once i'm done its neary 7:00 so i decide to leave and maybe pick up a coffee. When i'm driving to wokr i see a little coffee shop that doesn't look busy so park there and walk in. I ask for a latte and whne its done i head tsraight back to my car and start driving to work. When i reach work its 7:25, 5 minutes early until i start, K-mart doesn't open till 8:00 but I got called in today to open it and everything.
When I'm finished checking all the clothes and stuff it's 9:00 and it's time to open, I turn on the automatic doors and stand behind a checkout. Kate, Sarah and Baily arrive then not long after them The manger arrives and we start the day.
After a few customers come and go it's like any other day, boring and nothing exiting happens. I check the time and it's my lunch break, I'm finishing at 2:00 so I didn't pack much food.
Once I'm done with my food I head back to a check out and call a few customers. The nest customer looks very familiar, wait a minute it's that rude and....and...Luke.
