"You don't understand a single thing about me.", I said as I began to walk away from him.
"Are you sure about that, Alex?", he questioned. It was like he could see through my soul. I didn't like it.
Not one bit.
"You're like an open book, sweetheart."
"And, how can you say that, you're virtually an open book as well.", I countered.
"There's a difference between us though.", he said as he pulled me towards him.
"And, what is that?", I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I'll let you figure that out for yourself.", he whispered.
"What the hell do you mean by th-", and I was cut off when he lowered his face and captured my lips in a kiss.

Alexandria Parker.
She is a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. She is a girl who lost her parents and gained a best friend. Jacey Gray is her best friend, alongside her sister, Elizabeth Parker. But, what'll happen when she decides to escape her tragic past and takes a leap of faith and goes to Tulsa, Oklahoma? There she meets the Infuriatingly handsome, Sodapop Curtis.
And, I'm sure you all know his story.
These two grow close and in the end, might just realise that they are each other's happily ever after.
(All rights being to S.E. Hinton. All characters and the entire storyline belong to S.E. Hinton.)
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."

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}
