Know me
"Life is but a calling card. A chance, a spiraling sensation of nothing, that with time turns into everything." Know me is a short story. A piece of life written just as it was lived. All of our experiences help us grow along the years. Life never stops, our minds either. Its chaos, and this book treats it as so. There is no specific order to life's events. So, with whatever hand we are dealt, we march on. We learn about ourselves, how we love, how our minds work. We doubt everything. We question our existence in this piece of dirt. We seek purpose in everything we do. Only to find out that maybe life takes the shape we give it. I hope these words take the shape of anything you need.Complete![We're Just Friends [BOOK 1 Of The 'We're Just' Trilogy]]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/142153467-256-k186266.jpg)

"Louis," I began "Yes?" a shiver ran down my spine as his lush voice filled my ear. "If you're not human, then what are you?" I finished "Guess." He whispered, a breath escaped my chest as he nibbled the edge of my ear. "Louis," I grabbed his shoulders and pulled away from him, "This is serious, I truly want to know." He pouted, "Come on miss 170, your smart enough to figure it out."

Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.Complete
