"I'm gonna marry you someday." If she was trying to help me get my breath, that was not the way to do it. I choked. "What?" All of a sudden she looked scared. "I mean, I'm not like, in love with you or anything, it's just, it's on my adventure list, so I have to do it." She looked down. She was embarrassed. Little did she know, that was the single best thing she could have said to me. That was exactly what I'd been waiting to hear since the day I met her. She was the love of my life. But, being a 13 year old boy, I didn't tell her any of that. Instead I asked, "What's an adventure list?" She looked relieved to have something to talk about (she wasn't quiet very often), and went 90 mph. "Oh it's this thing I made up, where I write down all the things it would be super cool or weird to do before I die, so that I could look back and it won't have been a boring life." I smiled. "Like a bucket list?" "No!" she looked offended. "Its much cooler than a bucket list, cause none of them will ever happen. Like, ever. So its more exciting than a bucket list, more out there." I was confused. "Why would you make that if you won't ever do them? That just seems kinda, I don't know, sad." She pondered for a moment. "Well, to me, it's more exciting that way if one of them happens. You make them super crazy, so you aren't disappointed if they don't happen, but it's super awesome if they do. It's just fun to dream, and to have all these maybe-adventures."

My Teddy

The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}
