Here is another chapter of "Snags and Serenity of Love." This one is from Sadie's POV. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Missing
I walked to school on another dreary Friday. Why is Friday dreary, you might ask? Every day was the same. Nothing new ever happened.
The clouds were darkening the sky as I walked with my best friend, Anna, to the park. She was acting strange. She was perkier than normal and kept sighing every 30 seconds. I finally let my curiosity take over. I grabbed her arm, halting her movement.
"Ok, what's up with you?" I asked, realizing I had sounded a little harsh. She had a confused look on her face.
"What do you mean?" she asked innocently. I gave her a skeptical look. There was no way she didn't know what I was talking about. Apparently, she caught on, because she giggled.
"Oh," she sighed. I crossed my arms, waiting for her answer.
"I-I met a boy," she gave a shy smile. I gaped at her.
Ok, cancel my earlier statement. This is new.
My shock soon melted away. A smirk slowly grew on my face. Anna quickly backed away, muttering how she knew that face.
"Who is this boy?" I asked slyly.
I watched her blush and tuck a lock of short, black hair behind her ear. She finally gathered the courage to speak.
"His name is Nathan. He has blond hair, blue eyes, and is really nice. He saved me from falling off a tree." she answered. My eyebrows rose at that last part.
"Ok…?" I managed to get out. Anna and I started walking again, or, in Anna's case, skipping. I sighed. Anna could be really annoying at times, but I still loved her. She is my best friend, after all.
We finally arrived at our school, Central High (so unoriginal, right?), and we parted ways. I walked to my locker, grabbing my Algebra book, pencil bag, and notebook. I quickly shut my locker when the warning bell blazed through the halls. I had 2 minutes to get to class.
I started to walk to class, softly singing my favorite song.
"Please, please forgive me.
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And barely conscious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't –" My song was abruptly stopped when I ran into someone. I was knocked to the floor, my books scattered everywhere.
I sat up, pushing my long hair out of my face. I started gathering up my books when I saw another person sitting up. I looked up, setting my eyes on the familiar boy.
"Cody!" I said, realizing that I must have knocked him down. Cody Vans has been one of my friends for years. Though I don't know him very well, I still consider him a friend, since he is really nice to me and actually talks to me, unlike the rest of the high schoolers.
I put my books down, and quickly stood up, offering a hand to Cody. He looked at me, smiled, and then took my hand. I helped him up, and was going to say something when the bell rang, startling us both. I started gathering my books again. In my peripheral vision, I saw Cody bend down to pick up my discarded notebook. He started flipping thought it.
I hastily stood up, books in hand, and snatched my notebook away from him. His green eyes shown with amusement as I hurriedly hid my notebook from sight. I looked up at him with a mock glare.
"My. Stuff. Don't. Touch." I said. He laughed and grabbed a book out of my hand.
"For your information, this is my Algebra book." he stated. I looked away.
"Fine." I mumbled, tucking my white lock of hair behind my ear. I had dark brown hair, and one lock was dyed white.
We walked to class, completely silent. I took this time to look over my friend. He was wearing a dark green t-shirt that matched his eyes, blue jeans, black tennis shoes, and his light brown hair was messier than normal. I suspect his hair was messy because of the fall.
I didn't realize I was staring until Cody turned to look at me. He smiled.
"You know, you're a really good singer." said Cody. I blushed and looked away, focusing my brown eyes on anything other than the boy next to me. After I composed myself, I looked at him and smiled guiltily.
"I'm sorry for running into you. I wasn't really paying attention –" I started but was cut off.
"It's fine, Sadie." he said, giving me a reassuring smile. I smiled back.
We finally arrived at class, about 5 minutes late. Our teacher stood up.
"Mr. Vans, Miss Augreen, you're late. Why?" she asked. Cody spoke up.
"We had an incident in the hallway, and we are really sorry. It won't happen again."
"It better not. Now take your seats." said the teacher. Cody and I went to our seats. I sat down next to Anna, who was giving me a curious stare.
"What?" I finally whispered, after 5 minutes of her looking at me. She gave me the same sly smile that I had given her this morning.
"What happened?" she asked. I sighed, raising a pale finger to my mouth, gesturing her to be quiet.
"I'll tell you later." I whispered. She went back to listening to the lesson, while I thought about what had just happened.
Maybe I was missing something about Fridays. They aren't all that bad…
Finally done with this chapter. I know it's short, but I tried. Please review!
