Kiss My Eyes And Lay Me To Sleep

Chapter 2

"Excuse me," she said in a small voice. "D'ya mind if I sit next to you? Everywhere else is full."

I looked at the other two benches, and sure enough both were full to maximum capacity.

I shrugged. "Sure."

She smiled and took a timid seat next to me.

"Your friend seems to be quite the talker." I said, trying to make small chat with this girl. She nodded.

"Yeah, she was supposed to be calling her mom, but I guess she 'accidentally' called her boyfriend."

Her voice was small but it was sweet, not a harsh sound came out.

"Anyways, her mom's gonna kick her ass when she gets here and finds her on my phone." She continued.

I smiled mainly to myself. By the way this girl was acting, she either didn't know who I was, or if she did she wasn't a fan. A few moments later the blonde walked over to us and handed the redhead her phone.

"Mom just texted you. She's outside waiting."

The redhead nodded and stood up. "You enjoy talking to Justin? I know that's why you took my phone. Don't even deny it."

The blonde blushed and grinned. "Shut up!"

Just then, a car horn sounded from outside. Both girls looked outside as the boy I had seen them with called out to them.

"Autumn! China! Momma's here."

Both girls began walking off. Both girls looked about sixteen or seventeen. The blonde seemed to be the more outgoing one of the two. Redhead seemed quiet and a little more reserved.

"Hay, Red." I called out on impulse.

The girl spun around and faced me. She was a lot shorter than me, and that was saying something. I'd been the shortest in my year.

"You have a name?"

She smiled, revealing small white teeth. It seemed like everything about this girl was small.

"Yeah, it's China."

I was a bit taken aback. That was definitely not an everyday name.

"Well, I'm Nathan. Nathan Sykes."

She smiled and lowered her voice. "I know who you are, Nathan."

With that the girl turned and walked outside to meet her friend.

I sat there for a second, thinking about the girl; China. That was definitely an unusual name. And she knew about the band, but she sure as hell didn't act like it. Those few moments I had spent with her made me really want to find out more about her. I especially wanted to find out more about her bloody name…

China's POV

I walked outside the theater with Autumn.

"Holy shit! I can't believe Nathan Sykes is here! In town! What all did he say to you?" she asked me in a whisper.

I sighed. "I know! I'm in shock! He didn't say much. Probably thought I was boring or whatever."

That was the truth. Nathan Sykes probably spent his time with all the famous and beautiful girls that seemed to be attracted to him.

"Anyways, I wonder where the rest of the group was." I concluded.

As I made my way to the car, I heard my name being called out in a distinct British accent. I whirled around and saw none other than Nathan freaking Sykes walking towards me. I glanced at Autumn and went to meet the hunky Brit halfway.
