CHAPTER TWO

I followed him without saying anything. He laughed and said, “Are you scared?” I managed a chuckle, Should I be? He just turned back around and started skipping.

“I saw your locker with all the graffiti and lyrics, you must be a creative person.” I smiled and said, I guess you could say that. He just grinned and continued skipping.

  So where are we going? I said as we made our way to a red double door. He pushed it open and you would not believe your eyes! It was a whole room filled with art!

  Oh my God, I said eye balling the master pieces. So who did all of this? ... He smiled, “I think it's self-explanatory, I showed you, so maybe they belong to me.” I stared hard at him and began laughing, “Okay smart ass, no need to get all cocky.”

  After looking at all the wonderful art work, I felt this strange feeling come over me; was I falling for him? No, couldn't be... Am I falling for a guy I just met? I don't know, I just stood there thinking. Love at first sight...Maybe?

  It's like he could read my mind, he gave me this confused look as if he knew exactly what I was thinking. I smiled and said, I have to go get my sister from the elementary school. “May I walk with you?” He asked. He didn't give me time to speak, he was already making his way to the front of the high school.

  “How old is your sister?” He began. Seven, I replied with a smile. “That must be great.” I laughed and said, Ehh sometimes.

  My stomach began to flutter like butterflies, what kind of feeling is this? What the hell. Can it be? No! It can't! I know it had to be a strong feeling for Colton, but was it good or was it bad?

 We started walking up to the elementary school where my sister was. “SISSY!” Is the only thing you hear. I squatted down and held my arms out where Chloe could hug me. “Sissy,” She said, “Who is that?” Colton looked down at her with the most beautiful smile ever, his teeth were sparkly white, and his dimples were showing, “I’m Colton.” Chloe smiled, took his hand, and kissed it. That's how she greets people she likes, I laughed.

  “Colton!” Someone in the distance shouted. He turned around and saw it was his brother, Kyle. “Hey, I’ll catch ya later, Juliette? Right?” He said. I nodded and said, See ya.

  Chloe and I began to walk home, we only lived a block or two down from the schools so walking was an option.

   Then all of a sudden, I feel a short breeze, more like ‘WOOSH.’
