Daring and Cerise

Daring pov

"Kids time for resuce," My teacher said. I join the other boys at the path near the woods.

"What should we play today," Hopper asked.

"How about Knights," my brother Dexter said.

"We play that everyday," Sparrow said.

"Then what should we do," I asked.

"Tag," Hunter cried, tagging Sparrow and we all started running into the woods away from Sparrow.

"Hey, not far," he cried, as he began running.

I started running throw the trees, I looked back to see if Sparrow was chasing me and he wasn't. I wasn't looking where I was going and I tripped on a brush and all of a sudden I was face to face with the ground.

"Are you ok," I voiced asked me, taking me hand and pulling me off.

"Ya, Thanks," I said, as I dusted myself off. I was about to make sure my crown was in place when I looked up to see who had helped me.

"Hey your a girl," I said, not really knowing how rude it sounded.

She looked at me strangely and shot back with, "Ya I am."

"But you pulled me up," I said.

"Yes I did do you have a problem with that," she said as she crossed her arms.

"No no I don't," I began, "It's just, normally girls don't save the guy."

"Then I guess this is a one time thing than," she said.

"Ya...," I trailed off not knowing what to say.

"Cerise Hood," she said, putting her hand out.

I bowed and said, "I am prince Daring Charming, son of King Charming," and she bursted out laughing.

She started laughing so hard that she had to hold her stomach. I had never seen a girl laugh like this, usually they just giggle and smile and giggle again. I had decided I liked her laugh but I didn't know why she was laughing.

"Why are you laughing," I asked her.

She finally stopped and answered with, "It's just I have never heard anyone say there title when they first meet. I thought it was funny."

"Really, none of your friends say there title, all of mine do," I said.

"Well the next time you meet someone say your first name, just your first name, and if they say there title than you will see how funny it is," She said, a little smile appearing on her face.

"I will," I replied.

"So tell me a little about yourself," she said.

"Well, I like mirror, I have a brother and a sister and I like bookball, your turn" I said.

"I am a big fan of bookball myself, I like meat and I am a only child," she said.

"Wow, your the first girl other than my sister that likes bookball," I said in shock.

"Did you see the CharmJets last game, they were completely off the page," Cerise said.

"I know right," I said. I liked talking to Cerise, she wasn't like any of my other friends that were girls, she didn't have tight fluffily dress or a big bow in her hair, instead she wore a little bagging red dress and black dress and a blood red hood.

"So what are you doing here in the woods," she asked, and I realized I must have been staring at her. I felt something weird happen in my cheeks, they got all hot all of a sudden.

"Well, I was playing Tag with my friends and I was checking to see if they were behind me and they weren't and I wasn't looking where I was going and then I fell," I said, "What about you."

"Well, I am always in the woods during recuse," she said, as picked at the bottom of her dress.

"Where are all your friends," I said before I could stop myself. Really, I thought to myself, a yound Prince should not ask that.

"I don't really have friends," she started with, "Ya there are girls I get along with and I go over to there houses sometimes but none of them really get me."

"Do I get you," I asked, looking down at my shoes.

"I just meet you," she laughed.

"Well then I guess we better get to know each other better than," I said, meeting her eyes. I have never seen anyone with grey eyes. They were pretty.

"Daring," a voice called from a little further behind us in the woods. It must be Sparrow, I thought to myself.

"I better get going," I pointed to where the voice cam from.

"Ok," she said, "It was nice meeting you."

"And I you," I toke her hand and brought it up to my lips. When I let go and looked up at her, she looked so confused about it.

"See you again, fair maden," I called as I started running off.

She laughed and called from behind me, "Next time, Charming."
