Poison Ivy

Prologue

     I gasped and greedily inhaled the air. Oxygen filled my lungs and my heart started to calm down. I noticed I was in an unfamiliar place. As I took in the view before me, a boy with dark brown hair and big blue eyes came running to me with a towel. It was at the moment, I noticed I was shivering and wet. He wrapped the towel around me and I saw worry laced in his big blue eyes. 

     "W-where am I?" I stuttered. "Who are you and what are you going to do to me?"

     As I finished my question, the boy started to burst out in laughter. The worry in his eyes were replaced with amusement. I cowered in fear and played with my hands.

     "I wouldn't hurt you, little one. What is your name? My name is Tyler but you can call me Ty," the boy said.

    "N-no. My mom told me to not tell strangers my name," Ivy stated.

     "Fine but at least tell me your age. I'll start. I'm 12 years old," Tyler asked.

     "I'm 10 years old."

     Tyler started to tickle me. It was his tactic to pry my name out of me. He stopped tickling after a while. I remembered that I was still in an unfamiliar place so I asked him where we were. He told me we were at his house. His house is pretty and very big like umm a mansion? Oh yes, that's the word. Imagine living in a house as huge as this! But mommy and daddy are having a hard time earning money. 

     "Helloooooo. Are you listening?"

     "Huh," Tyler snapped me out of my thoughts. "Sorry Ty."

    "It's okay. So I was asking if you want to play with me after lunch," questioned Tyler. 

     I replied with a yes. I wanted to get to know Tyler more. Ty seems like a cool and handsome boy. He's very cute and cares a lot. I'm curious if he's thinking about why I'm here. 

     "Hey Ty, can I ask you a question?" Tyler nods. "Aren't you wondering why I'm here?"

     "A little but everything in my life so far has been a mystery. And after looking at how delicate and fragile you were, I knew you were a good one. I don't have many friends because many of them were after my wealth. So I'm always bored and ready for an adventure. Plus you are very cute," Tyler blushed.

     "Awhh you're very cute too! But is Ty blushing?!" 

     "W-who is blushing?! That is for weird people. The great Tyler King doesn't blush." 

     After a little more teasing, we were off to eat lunch. We were talking about many things of ourselves and I learned that he's horrible at baking. Baking is my favorite hobby to do. His favorite hobby is reading. Even though he has a kitchen crew, he still promised me that one day I can bake for him everyday if I wanted to. His favorite dessert is macarons. After we ate, his personal caretaker took us to the park. Ty pushed me very hard when we were on the swings. I got scared but then he stopped it and hugged me once he noticed.

     I saw this icecream shop and it looked like it had nice icecream. Ty started to walk towards the shop but I said no because it was too expensive. However, Ty decided to go against my words and bought me vanilla icecream! How does he know that vanilla is my favorite flavor? I asked what he got and he got cookie dough icecream. 

     "Can I get a bite of yours?" 

     "Of course you can but you have to pay for it," Tyler said.
