Certain Things //M.G.C//

//chapter one //

Supposedly,our eyes are the window to the soul.People can see things through them.If they are bright,you may be happy or you may be high,considering what you situation is.When I was small,my eyes were always bright.I was born with bright eyes,and after a while,I grew to detest them.

There are certain things that make me get up in the morning.For instance,colour scheme's.If there is pink on one wall and red on the next,I will go insane.I think that's why I tend to go for basic colours on basic items.

I usually try to achieve something every day.It may be going for a run or it may be eating heathily.

It never works out though.

"Earth to August?"Frankie called out.I shook my head,snapping out of the trance I went into.

"Yeah?"I asked,slightly breathless,even though I didn't know why.Her straw was in her mouth and she was smiling at a guy with red hair at the counter in the coffee shop we were in.

"He's cute,"she said.I turned around and saw him.He was cute,I suppose.He seemed unique.I mean,you'd never see a guy with red hair and wearing all black everyday,would you?He was tall,perhaps six foot and he had a piercing in his eyebrow.I looked back and Frankie and she smiled.I instantly knew what that smile meant.

"Frankie,no,"I said.Her smile turned into a smirk and she got up,pulling me with her.She was always looking for 'true love' but I didn't think it existed.It was the same as love at first sight.Love at first sight is just a mere attraction.It was as simple as that.

Frankie began to walk up to the counter and I sighed.She did this every time and it pissed me off.I was fine living a single life.I had two boyfriends before and they both left me because I was too 'Tumblr' which basically meant I was too depressing and didn't like to go outside the door.Going outside is scary.

She ordered two coffees and some gingerbread,which was strage,because she always said she was on a diet.All year round.I thought she had a perfect figure,seeing as she could pull off anything and I just wore jeans and jumpers.

As she ordered the drinks and food,she tapped the guy on the other.I was going to leave.I knew she was my best friend,but I hated when she did stuff like this.Then I recognized something.

"Frankie,"I hissed,pulling her back.She looked at me in confusion,one eyebrow arched as if to say 'what?'I pulled her away and back to our table.When she sat down,I began to whisper.

"He's from that band!"I exclaimed,my voice in a whisper.Her eyes instantly brightened.

"3 seconds of autumn?"

"No you idiot!5 Seconds Of Summer!You can't go up!He'll think we're creeps!I'm not doing it,"I told her.She scoffed and rolled her eyes,getting up.She walked over to him and after that I couldn't watch.I sipped my drink and scrolled through Tumblr.Him and his band were everywhere.

Twitter.

Instagram.

Facebook.

Tumblr.

My friends  sister was obsessed with them,so they were obviously something,but I mean...really?I listened to some weird music,I suppose.Songs and videos under two minutes are better,that's a proven fact,but I mean...

Really?

Ten minutes later,Frankie sat back down,her eyes a strange colour of green.I was always jealous of her green eyes.I had stupid blue ones.Well,I still have stupid blue ones.

"He likes you,"was the first thing she said.I shook my head,getting my purse.I was going to get out of there.I hated when things happened like that.She'd make me believe he liked me,I'd go up to him and totally embarrass myself.I was trying to minimize the casualties of my failed,unsucessful and dying social life.

"If he likes me then he must have something in his eye."

She smiled and then grabbed my wrist,pulling me up and pushing my over to him.I silently cursed her and then took a deep breath.

'You'll be fine,it's okay.Breathe,August."

"Hey,I'm August Forest."
