I See Her Walk By
Hi, I had this idea, so I needed to get it down somewhere. I might continue this story for a few chapters. It is a new style of writing and I'm just experimenting. I don't know how this will go. Anyway, this story is basically gonna be Beck's POV everyday as he sees Jade walk by past him in on the way to school. It starts when they are 7 years old. There will be more interesting stuff coming in the future that will basically explain Jade's life. Might be hard to understand, but oh well. Enough said, enjoy!
Day 1: I see her walk by. Pale skin, icy blue eyes, luscious brown hair with a purple streak and dressed head-to-toe in black. I have never seen a 7 year old so different, so intriguing…
Day 2: I see her again. I notice that she doesn't walk with her mummy or daddy like me or the other children. Why?
Day 3: Her red combat boots tap on the ground and I know she is walking by again. She's drinking coffee. Mummy says that's bad for me, but the little girl still drinks it by the gulp.
Day 4: She walks by again. This time, we lock eyes for a split second. I smile, but she doesn't smile back.
Day 5: She doesn't seem happy today. Her head is down and she walks slower, arms crossed over her chest. I would talk to her, but I still don't know her.
Day 6: Today, I'm relieved because she has her head up and walks proudly, although she still has an emotionless face, I know she is nothing like yesterday. But I still don't know why she doesn't smile.
Day 7: As I see her walk by, I notice how she has drawn a star tattoo on her arm. I know it's not real, coz the lines are slightly jagged. My mummy says I'm not allowed to draw on my skin.
Day 8: Our eyes meet for the second time, and I see something. I have no time to identify it, because she walks by so quickly. But there was something there, I'm sure of it.
Day 9: I want to know her name. I don't think she would be a flower kind of girl, or a city, maybe a gem of some kind. I'm not sure which one. Ruby, Diamond, Emerald; none really fit…
Day 10: Today she has headphones. The music is so loud I can hear it: Father and Son by Cat Stevens. Only my dad listens to that song… but this is the first time I see her smile, and I realise how beautiful she is.
