Tyler's POV
"You're awful." I complained as Kyle howled with laughter through the Skype call. The red-tinted screen adorned with the words 'You died!' mocked me and I frowned before finally cracking a smile at Kyle's unreasonably loud laughs.
"I'll get you back." I chuckled as I clicked 'respawn'.
"I know." He replied simply, I tapped my fingers on my desk. Kyle and I were bored and just messing around on Minecraft. My eyes shifted to the clock on the wall. 2:15. It was so much later than I had thought.
"I want food." I groaned.
"Go get food." Kyle said. I sighed.
"I'm lazy, but I'm really craving McDonald's."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
"Go get some. Run to your dear McDonald's." I laughed.
"You don't mind? I'll be back in 30 minutes, tops." I quickly said. Kyle chuckled.
"Hurry up." I smiled gratefully as I bid him goodbye. I tiptoed upstairs. I didn't want to wake my parents, although I didn't think they'd mind that I was going out this late. I had just graduated high school and I was moving out soon, not too far away though. Just a little apartment a few miles away from home. I shut the backdoor behind me as I walked out into the fresh summer air. I smiled to myself. I felt better than I ever had before, and I was certain this summer would be great. The drive to the McDonald's was riddled with thoughts of my future which seemed very bright. I pulled into the McDonald's parking lot, since the drive-thru was out of order. I got out and locked my car.
I ordered my food, and walked out of the McDonald's, ready to get back home. I stopped halfway to my car. There was this sound... It was faint, but it sounded like someone... Crying? I frowned, trying to locate it. After wandering around for a few minutes, I finally found a person.
It was a girl, sitting on a bench on the opposite side of where I had parked. She was in what looked like pajamas, and had her knees pulled up to her chest, long strands of light blonde hair blocking her face. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could say anything, her head snapped up. Her swollen green eyes widened.
"Are you alright?" The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them. She inhaled deeply, pushing a wisp of hair away, only for it to fall back in place a second later.
"No. I'm not." She replied, and before I could say another word, she was gone. I stood there for a second like a idiot. I was honestly a little shocked. I've seen some strange things, but a girl crying at McDonald's at 2 AM wasn't one of them.
It was on my mind all the way home. She seemed familiar, so familiar, but I couldn't figure out where or when I had seen her. I didn't mention it to Kyle, but it bothered me so much. I couldn't get her out of my head for some reason. At about 4 AM when Kyle and I finally said goodnight I thought it would stop. Unfortunately, it didn't. I just laid in my bed for the rest of the night, staring up at the ceiling which was slightly blurry due to my lack of glasses. I flopped onto my side.
"I have to be going insane," I muttered. I finally felt my eyelids droop, but I could have sworn I saw her green eyes before I lost all consciousness and faded into a deep slumber.
I think that's when I realized that the emerald-eyed girl and I would definitely meet again.
