Five years at the same school, and she's never met him. Never had a conversation, and barely even looks his away.
The eccentric girl doesn't have many constants. Scout Iris never thought she would find someone who she could trust and would accept her.
The lonely boy keeps mostly to himself. He's the type that no one understands and he likes it that way. Derek Holden does see one person he'd like to understand him, if he just didn't have to explain.

"But your mine." He pleads.
"Your place is with me." Continuing to crush my heart.
"I just can't." I say softly.
"Thank you for being my Latchboy." I kiss him for what might be the last time. Then try to get in my car.
"Wait if I said I would marry you right now?" He says placing his hand against the car door.
"You don't mean it." I can't look at him.
"But if I did?" He meets my eyes.
"Derek, please stop. You're just making it harder on both of us." The tears are here.
"Stay. One more night?" His last attempt.

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away. I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right. Normally, when I see a cute girl, I'm like eh, but because she's just so pretty, and also because I don't have much time left, I might as well. "I mean, come on dude, You might as well." What a perfect sign. I just said it, and now he just said it. Definitely means I gotta do it. I wanted to text him back to let him know I was going to. Even though he probably thinks ill chicken out at the last second. "Your right. I might as well."
