Writing Prompt #30
"You are so cute."
"I think what you mean is mysterious and dangerous."
"Nah, I definitely mean cute."

~~~

	Most days go by without a problem; no one talks to me and I don't talk to them. People stay out of my way and I stay out of theirs. It's simple, just how I like it; but things don't stay simple forever. Change comes in many shapes and sizes, some expected and other not so expected. This one just happened to come in the form of an outgoing new girl who is determined to get to know the side of me no one else has thought to. She doesn't believe them when they say to stay away from me or she could get hurt; she is determined to prove them wrong, no matter how much I tell her to forget about me. It seems that once someone begins having feelings for you, it's hard to get them to stop.
