O-kay, so...I won a trip to Chicago! WOO-HOO! So, maybe...I'll update. I kid! I'm not going until June, but I felt like telling you guys!
But, how I go this idea?
I lay in the grass in a meadow. I come here to get away from my crazy family.
It's not too far from the Mystery Shack. So i'm pretty sure Dipper and Mabel could find me if they tried.
My Grunkle Stan said lunch would be in 45. Eh. Enough time to go relax.
I haven't been here in Gravity Falls for the whole summer. I had summer camp. So, the minute summer camp was out, I was shipped here.
Bummer.
But it is nice to see my little brother and sister again. Haven't seen them in a month.
Ever since I came to Gravity Falls, Grunkle Stan has me clean up the giftshop.
Yeah, I know. Not exactly entertaining but it's the only free job Stan had for me.
I would've been fine without a job, but Stan said, 'he wouldn't have the potential of an employee go to waste'.
Ha! Yeah, potential. I've heard that one before.
People say I have 'potential' to make me feel better about myself.
I mean, my hair is stringy and oily. And with 3 pimples, 2 left feet, legs that stretch for miles, and extremely pale skin, I would in the running for Princess of the Dorks!
And at age 13, I practicly dwarfed everyone I knew. (being 5-8')
And i'm mistaken for being 17 or 18 when i'm only 16. Yeah. Freak.
The sun created a glare that totally blocked my vision. "Spring! Get up!" Mabel shouts at me.
"Uhhhh..." I groan. "Let me lay here and work on the tan that i'll never achieve." Mabel plants her dainty feet at my shoulders, and leans down to meet me face to face.
I see nothing but her big brown chocolate eyes.
Me? My eyes are a dark hazel color. I've always been jealous of Dipper and Mabel.
Their eyes are like jewels. And that's not just sibling talk. Their eyes shine. Literally.
"Spring! I've been looking for you all day!" Mabel complains, her brown curls dripping over her shoulders with slight bounce.
My hair is just straight, but I'd recently dyed the bottom half black. I have to curl it every morning, because I look terrible with straight hair.
"Mabel, i've only been out here for like, 45 minutes." I retort.
She bends down and pushes my shoulders down to the ground.
"Spring! Listen to your sister! I'm about to give you some awesome advice! One time offer! So listen up!" She stands up, and hops out of the way.
I sit up, propping myself on my elbows.
I roll my eyes. "What's this,'awesome advice' that i'm getting?" I ask, chuckling lightly.
She gives me a look of confusion. "What awesome advice?" I stare at her.
"Oh! That awesome advice! You should get home, because Dipper and Stan will probably eat our food if we don't get there fast."
O-kay. So this was the important advice. Yes, very important.
I stand up, being about 6-5'.
"Beat ya!" I challenge, and run off. Mabel chases after me. "No fair!" She whines. "You have longer legs!"
I laugh, not slowing down for my little sister's mercy. "Grow some, then challenge me." I turn around, and charge for Mabel.
She shrieks. I tackle her to the ground in a hug. "Eww! You're so wet!" She wiggles out of my grasp, and runs off.
Yeah, earlier i'd jumped in a pond, hoping to cool off. Not that i'd tell her.
The fun of sibling torture and all that.
I walk into the Shack's kitchen, and shocker, they were eating without me! "Thanks for saving me som-" I look at the tabel, and there's no food left.
Mabel was right. They ate my lunch! My stomach grumbles. "Hehe...Sorry.." Dipper says.
"Should've been here sooner." Stan says, leaning back in his chair. See what I live with?
"Going into town." I say, grabbing my purse. Dipper hops out of his seat. "I wanna go!" This causes Mabel to jump out of her seat and join the begging.
"No, i'm getting my lunch. Since you ate my first one. You know how I am on an empty stomach."
They do. I get grumpy, and leave destruction in my wake. True story.
I walk into the Diner. My mouth immediately starts to water.
I take a seat in the far corner, head ducked down. Lazy Susan comes over to take my order. "Chili fries with a soft drink please."
She writes down the ticket, then walks off to go get my food.
I lean back, and drum my fingers on the table. Is it weird i'm drumming a David Bowie song?
I start singing the words to the song 'as the world fall down' quietly under my breath.
"Oh such a sad love," I quietly sing. "deep in your eyes-" A group of teenagers walk into the Diner.
There's 7 of them. The only teenager I recognize is Wendy. She works at the Shack. She and I are friends, but we don't hang out that much. I'm more on the shy side.
There was another girl. She had purple hair with pink highlights, and was texting on her phone.
Wendy and purple hair were the only girls.
I scanned through the boys. A tall guy, who was shoving another guy with tatoos. Erm, a guy with black hair, and a black hoodie with a stiched heart on the front. and... a blonde.
Most of the boys were shoving eachother around, and punching eachother playfully. But there was one who wasn't. Blonde.
I tried to move on, but once I got to the blonde, I was stuck.
I stealthily check if I was drooling. Big shocker! I wasn't!
He was so tall, he practicly dwarfed me! He was skinny, and his eyes...were a stormy grey.
Deer? Headlights? Hi, i'm Spring.
Lazy Susan brings my chili fries and Coke over to me, and places the ticket on the desk. $5.00, I can pay that.
Although i'm starving, I can't bring myself to look away from Blonde, as if if I looked away, he would disappear.
Wendy, a skinny redhead, caught my glance.
"Hey, Spring!" She waved. She motioned for her friends to follow her. They all walked over to my corner.
"H-Hi." I squeak. Blonde stares at me, and I stare at him.
Okay, seriously guys. No matter how much I try looking away, I just can't. He's mesmerizing.
Wendy laughs. "Don't be so shy, Spring!" She nudges my arm. I let out a small laugh, but it sounds like i've been gargling nails.
Wendy turns around to face her friends. "Guys, this is Spring." She gestures to me. She sits next to me, and wraps her arm around my shoulder, as if we'd been friends since birth or something.
"This is Robbie, Lee, Nate, Tambry, Thompson-" Okay, so,
goth= Robbie
tall with weird hair= Lee
tatoos= Nate
purple hair and constantly on her phone= Tambry
chubby but not to short and not to tall= Thompson
"And our newest addition, William." Wendy finishes. I stare at Will.
I wave shyly. "Hi guys." I get several 'hey's and 'nice to meet you' s.
"So, anyway…" Wendy ends the awkward silence. "We were wondering if you wanted to hang out with us."
I look away from Will, and eat some fries. "Um, I can't. I kinda have to go home after i'm done eating." I mumble.
William gives a small smile. "Just let me eat first…" I take a sip of my soda.
Wendy holds her hands up, palms out. "Say no more. I feel you. Maybe we'll be able to catch up later." I nod.
Everyone except William walks out of the Diner.
"O-Oh..Hi there…" I stammer. William sits across from me.
"Hi." He says. He crosses his arms and leans back against his seat. I sit there awkwardly staring at him.
Yep! I have every single detail of his face permanatly etched into my mind.
"So, hey...tell me about you." He says. I clear my throat.
"Um, there's nothing to tell really..." The words stumble out of my mouth. Secrets. Tell me your secrets, beautiful stranger.
He grabs a fry and sticks it in his mouth. O-kay. So he's going to eat my lunch.
"So, how'd you meet Wendy and them? I haven't seen you around here." I say. He laughs lightly.
"Well, i'm kinda new here-" Oh, okay. "And...I don't know really. I just started hanging out with them." He shrugs.
O-kay. I take a last sip of my soda. I place 6 dollars on the table. "I should get going..." I mumble. Will nods.
"See ya around, William." I wave. He waves back. "One last thing. Call me Bill."
I smile. "See ya, Bill." I walk out the door. Yep. He's hot.
Oh, I love it already. Seriously!
