As what seems to be hours, I finally get to him and as I am about to pass him, he says something. I was just so engrossed in the dream and the way his warm and tender lips felt against mine. I hear something come from the handsome boy but I didn't seem to catch what he said.

I stop in my tracks and I say "Pardon me?"

He seems to find it funny and he smiles a very genuine and charming smile before he says, "Oh, sorry to startle you but I just said good morning."

My cheeks flush in embarrassment because I just stopped and made some-what of a big deal of just a fellow good morning.

I just look at him again with a bright smile and say " good morning."
He looks at me with a gorgeous smile and opens his mouth to say something but closes it slowly. As he did that, I took note of his perfect, white teeth. I look at him,waiting, but see that he is at a loss of words.

I just look at him and say,
"Okay, well continue having a good morning and I'll see you later." Then I just continue jogging away and I mentally slap myself at my response. Will I see him later? Continue to have a good morning? I'm a dummy! As I run farther away from him, I feel his eyes on me but I don't dare to look back.

As I keep running, I only think about the mysterious boy that had no problem in talking to me after he was staring at me the night before. I know that he was trying to talk to me but I just didn't know what to say and if anything, he should've been the one to say stuff to me.

As I replay the conversation in my head, I think other things I could've said to keep the conversation going and stay trapped in those beautiful bluish green eyes. Once I finally feel satisfied with my run, I return home and like always, my parents are gone.

The rest of the day just consists of me reading my books and getting some homework done and talking to my friend Victoria on the phone. Other than that, nothing much eventful. Sooner than I know it, its already night time and I wonder where the day has gone but it's my favorite time of the day. It's my time to go on top of the balcony and enjoy the night air and silent breeze. It's just a time for me to gather my thoughts and relax, which never really happens due to school. It's Christmas break and I look forward to enjoying every single second of it.... Two weeks baby! Yeah!

As I climb out the window I can't stop myself from wondering if my mystery boy .... Wait, what did I just say "my".... Hmmmmm. I mean mystery boy is outside again, minus the weird looks.
As I reach the balcony I look around but don't seem to find anyone. It's a good thing because I just wanted to come up here without any disturbances and enjoy the beautiful night. I stay up there and look at the beautiful stars so bright and glossy. I wonder how quiet and peaceful it would be if you were on the moon looking down on earth and all the other stars and planets. It makes me think of the movie gravity and I wish I could actually go to the moon at that moment. I stay there for another hour before my eyes start to feel heavy so I decide to go inside.

As I start to walk inside I turn and catch movements in the corner of my eye. I happen to see the boy, the one that keeps showing up on my private time. When he saw me turn he tried to hide himself but I saw him alright. For some reason I should feel like this guy is a stalker but instead I just feel fine. I go back inside and find explanations as to why he could magically show up everywhere I turn.

Once I get bored of that, I just get in my bed and read a little more of The House at Riverton and I slowly fall asleep dreaming about Grace and the grand and splendid halls she got to walk through.
