Static Shock
Waiting Under the Mistletoe
Chapter 1 Loves First Meeting:
Virgil Hawkins fell seriously in love for the first time in his life. He was even more in love with this girl than he's ever been with any other, like Daisy for example.
He was shocked when he first realized-for the very first time in all his 18 years-that he was deeply in love with someone; and he prayed that she was the one he'd been searching for for so long.
He even prayed to himself that once he finally was to tell her how he felt about her she would feel the same way. But there was only one problem, he was too afraid to ask her out. He was even anxious that she may not have the same feelings for him back and that he was wasting his time crushing and falling in love with her.
This girl's name was Magenta Chasez. Even her name was as gorgeous as her. Her name fit her perfectly.
She moved to Dakota with her parents, big brother Jonathan, and little sister Maria in the beginning of last summer.
He first met her, as if it were faith, at one of the comic book stores. Funny thing was they ended up in the same aisle looking for the same comic book.
When they found what they were looking for, both not knowing at the time that the other was into that comic, they both reached out at once and ended up touching the others hand.
They both pulled their hand away a little embarrassed, saying sorry.
The two looked at each other for two seconds before Magenta quickly looked away shyly putting her hair on the right side of her face behind her ear.
Virgil noticed the shyness and smiled at her. Because they saw each others faces, Virgil thought she was beautiful and just had to re-get her attention. So he grabbed one of the comics that the two were into and said, "here."
She looked back at him and saw the comic book being held in front of her.
She gently took it from him then in a soft, shy voice with a hint of a smile said, "thank you."
"You're welcome." He answered smiling back. Then he put out his hand and said, "my name's Virgil."
"Magenta." She shook his hand.
"That's a beautiful name."
She smiled a bigger smile, which also meant thank you.
Since then they've been hanging out as just friends.
In the beginning he said nice things about her and to her, just like he done with Daisy.
He knew that even though he did the same thing to Daisy years ago, he only thought she was cute and that he used to like her. He would only do that to the girls he likes, but like it said in the beginning of the story, Magenta was major different, he meant every word he said to her even more than he ever had in his life. Virgil also hugged her, he never done that to any other crush.
Because he does and says all that, he wondered if she knew he liked her.
Virgil told his best friend Richie Foley about the feelings he has for Magenta. What Richie said was to go for it, ask her out. But of course he's too shy.
Richie even told him that if she didn't like him in that manner then she wouldn't have wanted him to do any of the things that he's been doing to her since they started hanging out.
Virgil just said that some girls don't mind being hugged or being told sweet things by their guy friends.
Richie just rolled his eyes.
