Forgotten

Chapter 3: Wondering

I brushed my dark hair from my eyes as I walked back from school.

Brooke... I wonder what I could do to catch her eye. She said she likes music, and her favorite color was lavender. What if I wrote a poem for her? That's the only thing I can think of. I'm ok at writing, but I don't know if it'll be good enough for her.

So many thoughts and ideas ran through my head as I walked down my street. My eye drifted to the side, checking all of the house numbers until I eventually found mine. I heard happy screaming coming from my house, guessing my little sister was playing some board game.

Opening the door silently, I was treading through the house as silently as possible. I didn't want to disturb my sister's fun, and besides, I wanted to work on homework without interruptions. If they don't know I was here, they wouldn't come in my room to bother me until they found out.

Jumping face first on my bed, I thought about doing homework, but I shied away from the idea. I decided to think about ways to impress Brooke instead.

After finishing my homework, I lay in bed working on one of my poems. I wrote what I felt. Love.

I wonder if I will ever have the courage to give this to her, I thought, looking at my finished poem. I wonder...

                                                                                            。。。

Laying in bed, I couldn't stop thinking of Oliver. Why do I find him so interesting? I can't stop thinking about him and how nice and kind he was. A writer, huh? I love reading, and I would love to ask him if I could read one of his books, poems, or whatever he writes. I'm sure he is really creative when writing. He seems like a writer, now that I think about it.

Shaking my head to clear the dreamy thoughts, I focused on doing my homework. Just when I least expected it, my younger sister burst though the door, tugging my younger brother along with her. "Brooke! Can you please help us with homework?" I shook my head, and growled, "Fine, but next time knock before you practically break down my door!"

Soon after helping my siblings, I collapsed on my bed. Ugh... Closing my eyes for a second, I let my thoughts wander. I wonder if Oliver likes me back... shifting my body to a more comfortable position, I start to drift off. I wonder...
