I don't know why I felt so connected to you. I've always been alone, I didn't know how to interact with people nor did anyone want to interact with me. I was always in my own world, my own fantasy. Yet I was so drawn to you. It could be your gentle smile, or how even your walk showed how delicate your heart was. Before I knew it, you were standing right before me. Even if there's a crowd surrounding us, I feel as if it's just you and me. For a few seconds, we didn't say anything to each other, but then you spoke up. Your voice was soothing yet gentle. Could love at first sight really be true? if so I wish I didn't have to put up with it now.
["Ah, hello, I'm Uhm.. I'm Oakley."]
I opened my mouth to talk, but instantly closed it. I- I'm scared. What if I mess up? What if I come off as rude or creepy? I spent a good 5 minutes just staring at him. I'm a creep. I should just walk away. I can feel my body tense up, but then I heard him chuckle, "Relax! I don't bite, may I ask you what your name is?" I somehow managed to choke out the words," C..Cole. I'm Cole. It's nice to meet you, Oakley." His smile grew and he stepped closer to me and moved his hair out of his eyes, he spoke once again and said, "Well, Cole. I hope you wouldn't mind me buying you a cup of tea! Friendship has to start somewhere, right?" I smiled softly at him, something about him just brightened up my mood.
["Yeah, I don't mind."]
Before I knew, I was being dragged to the closest cafe. "W-Wait- Oakley! You don't have to drag me!" I whined a bit at the end, I mean, it's not an everyday thing to be dragged around. He simply snickered, "Oh, quiet ,you big baby! We're already here!" I was gonna say something back such as a sarcastic reply, but sure enough, we were in a cafe. We sat down at a table. After ordering and so on, he bombarded me with questions. "Hey! Cole! What are your hobbies! Oh- Are you into arts and crafts? I am! I made a birdhouse yesterday and I-" I had a feeling he'd go on forever, so I cut him off and said bluntly," I enjoy cooking. Uhm, I also collect crystals."He didn't seem too bothered by me interrupting him so he just continued on with asking me things, "Oh, Cole! What's your favorite food? Oh wait, I bet it's something like.. Barbecue! Right?!" He giggled a bit, I paused and looked out the window, thinking. I don't really have a favorite food now that I think of it. In fact, I don't really have opinions on most things. I tend to lock myself in my room and just do what I love which is, of course, cook and collect crystals. I never really thought about what I enjoyed specifically, it never seemed to matter. I was lost in thought till Oakley began snapping his fingers in front of my face, "Oi! Cole!" I pretended as if I was about to bite his hand and to say the least, it definitely made him stop snapping at me. He shrieked and pulled his hand away. I smirked, sticking my tongue out. He pouted childishly, "Hey- don't be such a bully! I don't wanna draw too much attention!" I giggled softly, what a nerd. I sighed, "Well, I don't really have a favorite food." He looked at me with a puzzled expression. Not surprised at all. A few seconds of silence passed before I said, "Well, what about you? What do you like?" He slammed his hands on the table. I flinched, so much for not wanting to "draw too much attention". "As I said, I absolutely love arts and crafts! Oh, and I have an obsession with garlic bread- AND- I love, love, love gardening! I don't really have many friends..- But I have you now, don't I?! oh But.." He paused for a second, his smile fell. It was as if all of his energy was drained away. Silence filled the air once again. I spoke with concern in my voice," Is something wrong?" He chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck," Ahaha.. Well, I was just thinking about my b..- Lover. My lover might not like you. They're quite possessive. They don't really like me hanging around others. They just loves me a lot, though!" I didn't know what to say.
[The one person I feel connected to is already in love with someone else.]
