I thought about editing this story hardcore after about 6 years later, but then I realized there's no saving this one. Read at your own risk. :')
[Setting: Town Park]
I looked at her beautiful, sleek figure and decided; she was cute. She had brown curls that hid in a dark red hood. Her smile was as sweet as a caramel cake. Her eyes were a dusty blue and more importantly, she was all alone.
This was my chance to go meet her. I took a breath and straightened my outfit.
"Hey," I said.
"Hi," she replied. She eyed me carefully.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Um…" she hesitated, probably wondering whether to tell me or not. Of course, I was just a random stranger that decided to hit on her. "Little Red. But call me Red."
Red. The name filled me with pleasure just thinking about it.
"Nice name," I said smiling.
"Thanks," she muttered. She started to walk away, a little unsure of herself.
"Wait!" I stopped her. "Let's be friends."
"Oh, really?" she stuttered. "I- I don't know."
I gave her another reassuring smile, and that did the trick.
"Okay." She nodded.
I sat down on a park bench and beckoned for Red to do the same.
"So tell me a little about yourself," I said, racking my brain for a conversation. "I'm seventeen. How old are you?"
"Sixteen," she answered. She swung her legs carelessly as she looked around the park.
"Do you do any sports in school?" I asked.
"Oh no!" she replied. "I don't do sports. Mother says it's too dangerous."
"Oh."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" I asked.
"No."
"I was thinking," I started awkwardly. She stared into my eyes, and I noticed that her dusty blue eyes were shining.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Are you single?" I blurted. My face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
She laughed nervously. "Yes, why?"
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Her eyes turned wild with disgust. "NO!"
To my dismay, I quickly realized something. Did I just get rejected?
Red jumped off the bench and ran to the lake nearby. I followed and caught up with her as she was throwing flat stones across the water.
I couldn't take it. If people knew I got rejected, I'd be finished. My sister would laugh at my poor attempt, and my half-brother would pull a bad prank on me. Not only was he doing the pranks on my blonde sister, but he had recently started it on me too!
I ran to Red and pulled her to me. I gazed into her eyes and pushed my lips to hers without another thought.
She shrieked. "You freak!" She then ran off, tripping over her feet to get away from this weirdo who she'd just met.
I, Daphne Grimm, had just been rejected.
