1001 Love Stories Darker

Mine (61)

"Owen why do you paint your fingernails." One of my many fan girls asks as I sat in class surrounded.

"Well," I stared.

"I used to have a brother who panted his nails. He used to get bullied for it a lot so being a big brother. I had to paint mine too. And then I told those shitty kids that if they wanted to pick on him they could pick on me. They stopped picking on him but he always seemed so happy when we did it. It was something we enjoyed and something we did together."

"What happened to him?" Another girl asks the question I know they all were thinking.

"Well he still pants his fingernails. Just now shes my sister" He says and the girls instantly melt at this prince charming.

That weird emo kid keeps looking at me.

Its unsettling.

I wonder if Im on his "target" list?

Probably not everyone loves me.

Hes weird. With extra black hair and blacker clothes.

Black eyes and probably a black soul too.

The only thing we have in common is our painted fingernails.

The hot pink stands out against his black but im sure its because hes just gay.

Im not sure why he just stairs at me.

But I don't want to find out.

He's approaching me.

I think as the angry goth storms over to me and I quickly try to judge weather he's about to pick a fight of confess feelings. But either way I don't want to be apart of it.

I instantly turn and start to walk away trying to make it least noticeable as possible.

Until he grabs my hand.

His perfect pink nails so close to the color or mine.

And for a moment.

My heart flutters.

He smiles a soft smile I never saw him use and as a soft pink feels his checks.

I felt my heart start to beat in my chest.

A real life Doki Doki.

And like that I fell for that stupid emo.

"Hi." He says softly and Im sure this was the first thing he said to me.

Hand still in mine.

He was about four inches smaller then me but it was fine.

I think I like him shorter then me and all.

"Cassy." He says and I stop.

"Cassy?" I ask and he turns redder.

"Your story its about Cassy right." He says and I nod softly causing him to smile more and my heart to thump even more.

"So you are her brother! I knew it! Can I come home with you!" He says excitedly and my first crush crashes in burns with one realization.

"Do you like her?" I ask and he smiles so beautifully so widely with color and flowers and pink fog.

"Im in love with her." He says and it actually hurts.

I notice he's still holding my hand and I pull away and he looks concerned.

"Cassy, you cant be with her." I say and you could see the heart break in his eyes.

Idiot dont look so in love with her. You could have me.
