something i just started, tell me what you guys think (:1
James ~*2
“Hey, I’m James,” I said, my trademark half smile making its way onto my face.3
“Hi James,” the new kid replied, blushing, “I’m Eric.”4
“So…how old are you, Eric?” He bit his lip and smiled and me shyly, what the hell is wrong with this kid?5
“15 and a half, you?”6
“I’m 17. So you’re a little young to be a junior, huh? Where are you from?” He squirmed uncomfortably, and I was really beginning to become concerned about him.7
“I’m from Oregon, sorry I’m so fidgety its just…I didn’t take my medication today,” he said, and I could tell he was hesitant to tell me that, I could understand why, “and without it all my emotions are intensified, which is why I’m blushing so much.”8
“Oh, well it’s okay, at least I know you’re being real with me, unlike almost everyone else at this school. I don’t know, you might like it, but I’ve learned to hate it,” I said, folding my arms across my chest.9
“Oh, well I don’t know, it seems like these people are fake. Uh, can we go outside? I need a smoke,” he said, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.10
“Aren’t you a little too young to be smoking?” I unfolded my arms, leading him outside behind the parking lot where most of my friends were during school.11
“Piss off,” he said, making a full smile make its way onto my mouth for the first time in awhile.12
“Hey dude,” Kyle said, nodding in my direction after exhaling a smoke cloud, “who’s your friend?”13
“This is Eric, he’s new,” I said nudging him over to them, watching as he dug in his pocket for a lighter after putting his cigarette between his lips. Realistically I don’t see how he could fit anything in his pockets, his pants are skintight.14
“I have a light,” Emily said, lighting his cigarette for him. The relief was clear on his face as he inhaled, and even more so as he let the smoke flow out of this lungs.15
Emily…oh Emily. We go back to 3rd grade, when I pulled her hair in the playground, and we ‘got married’, promising to love each other forever. We’ve dated a few times, on and off since freshman year. She has the most beautiful golden eyes, and they stand out perfectly against her jet-black hair with golden blond undertones.16
She looked at me; silver meeting gold as our eyes met, and she blushed, smiling at me as she nodded her head in the direction of the swing set.17
“Hey,” she said, smiling brightly as she looked up at me. I laughed, smiling back at her, poking her in her side softly.18
“So what’d you wanna talk about?” Her smile disappeared slowly, and she looked at me seriously.19
“Us.”20
“Is there an ‘us’ again?” She bit her lip, playing with the sterling silver hoop that pierced her lip.21
“Do you want there to be an us again? For the fourth time,” she said, giggling cutely. Of course I wanted to be with her, but I knew we’d just break up, and I didn’t want to set myself up for the pain.22
“I don’t know,” I started, watching her face fall, “Emily, I love you and you know that, it’s just…we always break up, and I don’t want to go through that again, every time I fall more in love with you, and every time hurts more than the last.”23
“But…James, I wanna be with you, forever,” she said, her beautiful eyes watering, “I don’t think I can move on from you.”24
“Emily…please don’t,” I said, sadness washing over me, “I just don’t want to get hurt again, like I’m hurt every time we break up.”25
“But this time’s for real, I don’t want to break up with you, ever. Not this time, this ones forever.”26
Eric~*27
“So uh, where’d they go?” God I couldn’t get one though straight, much less form proper sentences. I looked around at James’s friends, they probably think I’m weird.28
“Emily and James? Bleh, probably off fucking somewhere,” Kyle said, making everyone laugh. I felt a pang of jealousy, and I sucked on my cigarette to try and calm myself down. Shit, I need my meds.29
“Why uh…why’d you say that?” I looked over at Kyle and the rest of James’s friends, whose names were unknown to me.30
“They’ve been on and off since what…freshman year? They’re probably gonna end up getting married or some shit.”31
“Didn’t they already get married in like third grade?” I looked over at the sound of the strange voice, and saw a boy who looked about my age, with strikingly blue eyes that were almost overshadowed by his black, teal and red hair.32
“Yea, fuck that though, they’ll get married for real, I call it,” Kyle said, closing his eyes and leaning against the wall, “so where you from new kid? And that’s Devin.”33
“Oregon,” I said, dropping my cig bud on the ground before stepping on it, “I’m 15 and a half.”34
“Oh cool, me too,” Devin said, in a voice much softer than I expected, “when’d you move here?”35
“A few days ago,” I said, running my hands through my shoulder length naturally red hair, “how long have you guys all known each other?”36
“Awhile. And your hairs sick shit man, what’d you use?” Kyle ran his fingers through the underside, making me squirm at the ticklish sensation.37
“Nothing, this is my natural hair color,” I said, feeling myself blush slightly as his face lit up.38
“No way! That’s fucking boss man,” he said laughing as he leaned back against the wall again.39
“Thanks,” I started, but I was interrupted by the return of James and Emily, and by the looks of it, things didn’t go to well. Why was I secretly happy about this?40
“Hey,” I said smiling at him slightly, he gave me a fake smile and grabbed the cigarette out of Kyle’s mouth.41
“I didn’t know you smoke,” I said, looking over at him.42
“I don’t.”43
