Robby & Jasmine: Chapter 1

Robby felt he could watch her all day. She was that enticing. Just looking at her, he needed her to notice him, he wanted her to see him. He felt like he would burst if she never spoke to him. There she was. Doing nothing out of the ordinary, reading a thick black-bound book.1

He stood up. Now was his chance couldn’t he see. She was alone, no threatening friends or others around to mess up his concentration. Robby didn’t want to seem like an idiot in front of her. He brushed his honey blond bangs out of his eyes and made his way over there.2

As he got closer he could hear her voice. She was singing to herself, a song he had never heard before. He didn’t think she had the greatest voice, but it did not sound bad to him at all. He actually liked it. She looked up, just as he was about to sit down, and he quickly changed his mind.3

“Umm. Hi”. He said. Just a simple hi, and he had made her smile. Robby did a little victory dance inside, he hadn’t thought it would be that easy.4

“Hi, you’re Robby, right”? Jasmine asked, watching Robby sit down next to her.5

“Yeah, and you’re Jasmine”. He said, not needing to ask her name. He already knew her name, he had known her name for three months already.6

“I thought you were mute or something because you never talk in class”. Robby’s heart nearly stopped. She knew they were in the same class, he smiled, and tried to formulate the words he wanted to say without making a complete ass out of himself. She was talking about how quiet he was in class, and how people were mean for no reason, and then he sort of just exploded.7

“Will you go out with me”! He hadn’t meant to shout it, and he turned an unimaginable beet red. He turned away from Jasmine afraid he might see her laughing at him or something. He did not want to know if his dream girl laughed at him or not. It would ruin his imagination. When Robby didn’t hear anything he stood up to leave.8

“Wait”. Jasmine slid her hand into Robby’s and stood up. He was taller than her by a couple inches. He looked her right in her dark brown eyes., and she stared right back at him. “You have pretty eyes”. Jasmine giggled, winking. Robby laughed a little. He didn’t know if that was a yes to his question, but it was a start. She was holding his hand.9

“I think you’re pretty”. Robby said in compensation, and he did. 10

“So will you go out with me”? Jasmine asked with an arch of a dark eye brow. Before she hadn’t has the courage.11
