Hi my name is Kelly. I am a Junior in high school. I'm just your average high schooler. I make good grades. My family is there but they aren't there for me emotionally. They don't understand me. I love to sing and write but my family hates me doing it. My best friend's name is Victoria. We have been best friends since third grade.
The next day at school, I was walking to my locker when I accidentally bumped into someone. I looked up and our eyes connected. Blue met green. Seconds later, the boy broke the silence.
"Hey. My name is Decklan. What is your name?"
She smiled. "My name is Kelly."
"That's a pretty name for a pretty girl." Decklan said.
Kelly blushed already and she hasn't talked to him for five minutes. "Thank you." She says.
"May I walk you to your next class?" He asked.
"Sure." She said shy.
They walked to her next class, side by side. They parted ways and said they would see each other at lunch.

It was lunchtime and for some reason Kelly couldn't wait to see Decklan again. And she doesn't know why. She guessed just because of how nice he was to her. She like that in a guy for a boyfriend. Wait! Why was she thinking of Decklan as boyfriend already they barely knew each other. She wanted to get to know him better. What she didn't know was Decklan was thinking the same thing.
I want to get to know her more.
When Decklan found Kelly in the lunchroom, he walked up to her. "Hey, Kelly. Will you have lunch with me so we can get to know each other better?" Kelly smiled. "Sure. Let me just go tell my friend Victoria." He nodded his head. So I went over to where my best friend Victoria was sitting and told her I wasn't having lunch with her today. She argued with me about it but I told her I would call her sometime tonight to tell her all of the details.
I walked back over to Decklan and told him to lead the way. He took me to the courtyard of the school where there were tables so we could sit down. He picked a table away from everyone else. As we sat down and began to eat our lunch, it was very quiet at first. Eventually Decklan spoke up.
"So Kelly, tell me about yourself."'
"Well I turn seventeen on March 12th, I have a younger brother named Adam. He's seven. I've lived here in Salt Lake City my whole life. I love music and going to the movies. Romance and Comedy movies only. I hate scary movies. I like to write and sing as well."
"Wow. I turn seventeen on February 9th. I'm an only child. I've been in Salt Lake City my whole life as well. I love those kinds of movies too. I hate scary movies too. I don't know if I can sing good because I've never tried. Writing well, same thing. So we have things in common."
"Yes, we do. Which is good. I would like to tell you more about myself but the lunch bell is about to ring so how about we exchange phone numbers and talk after school or something."
"Unfortunately you are right about the bell about to ring. So yeah let's do that."
They exchanged phone numbers right when the lunch bell rang. But before Kelly could walk away, Decklan grabbed her arm to bring her to him. She looked up at him with a questioning look on her face.
"Yes, Decklan?"
He pulled her into a hug. She was unsure at first but then she relaxed against him.
"I've enjoyed talking to you, Kelly. And I hope to get to know you even better." He said in her ear.
She blushed. "I could say the same thing."
He felt her blush. "Kelly. I can tell you this, you are going to mean something to me, I just know it."
She blushed even more now. "Stop it. You're making me blush. I know. I think I am going to have that effect on you. Aren't I?"
With those words he walked off to his next class. A few seconds later he turned around and winked at her. It took her awhile to walk again to her next class. She was amazed by Decklan. It was the start of something she wasn't sure of. But she was ready to give it a chance. A chance for true love. Her chance.
