-...- Signifies her thoughts
''''''''''''''''Prologue'''''''''''''''''
She shivered as she stepped out into the chilly autumn air. Pulling her coat tighter around her, she started down the street. Keeping her head down and her focus on the ground, she fought to keep warm against the brisk wind tugging and her scarf and hair. The trees' leaves gently fluttered to the ground around her as she walked, deep in thought.
No matter how hard she fought it, no matter what she did to get her mind on other things, her thoughts continuously found their way back to him, like a lost cat going to the one that feds it without question.
Shaking her head to rid her of the images of his smile, his tempting eyes, she looked up to find herself at the end of her street. Blinking, trying to regain her concentration, she turned right and continued on her journey.
The wind was picking up. Reaching in her coat to find her gloves, she pulled them out and on. Just as she was about to get warmer, the wind pulled her scarf off. It fluttered gently on the wind, casually floating away into the distance.
-What else could go wrong?-
Quickening her pace, she chased after the scarf as it drifted into the nearby park. The wind slowed suddenly and her scarf landed gently on a bench. Picking up her scarf, she noticed a magazine lying underneath it. The smiling face on the cover reminded her of a certain other smiling face.
-No.. stop being foolish and thinking of him … He hates you and you hate him.. He's mean to you and you're mean to him… it's mutual… He doesn't think of you as anything more than just some girl her picks on… Stop hurting yourself by hoping otherwise and think of him…-
Closing her eyes, she turned away from the magazine and dropped it back on the bench. With a sigh, she put her scarf back on and sat down wearily on the bench.
Not asked for and unwanted, memories of him flooded her mind. His constant taunting, the staring matched they had, the fights to be the one who was right in any situation. Every minute they shared seemed to stick in her memory, clear and true, as if it was happening all over again. Subconsciously, she lived for those moments.
The feelings that the look in his eyes caused, or the sarcastic smile, or so many other little things took her over, making her feel everything more acutely. Like the time when she had been trying to reach for a book for school and he had come up behind her, so close her back had been pressed to his chest, and reached over her and got it for her. Such random acts of kindness as this brought a blush to her face and her heart to momentarily stop. And heaven help her when she got caught up in his deep blue eyes, eyes like the sea after a storm.
-No… stop it…-
She clutched her head, trying desperately to stop the flow of thoughts bomb-barding her mind
-He has a girlfriend… A G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D… he's taken.. T-A-K-E-N.. and he's happy! Get that through your head… and even if he wasn't… All he sees you as is a fighting partner and a silly little, blonde-haired ditz!-
As she hid her head in her knees, the brisk wind picked up again. As the town clocked chimed three, the teenage girl didn't even react. She just sat there in silence as a single tear slid down her cheek…
