Chapter Two: Jonas Starr

Jonas third person POV

Jonas sat down by the tree. It smelled nice, like a mint smell. He saw boxes wrapped up. He smiled as Ella, Charlotte, the mother (who had told Jonas to call her Sam), and Jim ripped open the paper. Charlotte smiled and ran into her room. She held something behind her back. Charlie held it out, it was a book. It said The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane on the cover. "I used to read it all the time when I was eight," she said "it's a story about love. You'll like it." {A/N- OMG I love that book. It's one of my favorites} Jonas looked at the cover. It was a picture of a rabbit, walking on two legs. It was wearing a red suit. Ella got up and ran to her room, she came back with a flower in a pot. "Pretty," said Jonas. Sam and Jim smiled and said "We have decided to let Jonas live with us. Jonas, your new name is Jonas Starr. Just like us." "Yay!" said Ella. She hugged Jonas and her parents.

When school started, all of the problems did.

Jonas met a girl when he was waiting in the lunch line. He wasnʻt sure how to define her. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Charlie didnʻt like her.

The girl walked up to Jonas and said "Hi," in a high voice "I am Amy."

Jonas noticed that she was twirling her hair with her fingers, then she tossed it over her shoulder "Whatʻs your name?"

"Jonas," Jonas said. Charlie pulled him away from the girl and told him "Stay away from Amy,"

"Why," said Jonas "she seems nice."

"She is a witch," said Charlie "besides, she was flirting with you."

Jonas looked at Charlie "What is flirting?" he asked

"Itʻs what you do if you want to attract someone," said Charlie "and go on a date."

"Date?" said Jonas

"Itʻs when you go out with a person of the opposite gender to see if you like each other." said Charlie "When you go on a lot of dates, then one of the people askʻs if they wat to get married. You know, be spouses."

Jonas nods "In the community," he said "we have our spouses assinged."

Charlie nods "I donʻt think that people should be assigned" she says "what if you donʻt love the person you are assigned."

Jonas looks at her and said "My parents didnʻt believe in love. When I asked my mother if she loved me, she told me that I did not use the correct word."

Charlie smiles sadly "Thatʻs horrible."

Jonas looks at her and said "I know,"

Every day after school, Charlie gave Jonas a memory. Most of the time it was a happy one, a carousel ride. A picnic.

But one day, on the last day of school. Charlie gives Jonas the feeling of loneliness.

Jonas was alone, in the dark. It was cold. He was crying.

Even though it was only a minute, it felt like forever. When he was finished, Jonas was shocked.

"Iʻll try find something else to give you," said Charlie

Jonas felt Charlies hand and he was in a memory. His lips where meeting someone elseʻs. A girl, her face was meeting his. He was somewhat scared, but delighted.

When the memory was done, Jonas was shoked.

"Wow," he said "that was strange."

"That was love," Charlie said "you where kissing a girl."

Jonas shook his head "Iʻve already experienced love."

Charlie nodded "That was love for your family, people who are related to you. The love I just showed you, that was love for someone else. Wanting to be with someone."

Jonas nodded "I think Iʻm done for the day." he said

Charlie nodded "Agreed," she said
