Chapter 2

As I had turned from that group, as if on beat with my steps, my world turned upside down a little bit. For about three seconds of my meaningless life, I made eye contact with the most beautiful human on the face of this Earth.

It would've been longer if I hadn't booked it away as soon as we had made eye contact.

Dodging drunk after drunk I am just trying to get home to sleep. "That was bull shit" I warn myself. "You've never seen that girl in your life, there is nothing there for you with her or anyone. Just relax." I am practicing relaxation techniques as I pull into my long driveway. "Shit" I mumble when I see that it is barley ten. I need to come up with some reason that can't be confirmed by others as to why I left 3 hours before Prom was over.

I walked in to my living room to my Aunt and Uncle cuddling on the couch watching "Crazy, Stupid, Love." It was the part where the Steve Carell's character Cal is making the huge speech on soul mates and how everyone has them. I just laughed and walked away as my Aunt Effie asked me if I had seen any cute girls there. I answered her with a nice loud slam of my bedroom door.

It took me a total of ten seconds to get out of that damn monkey suit into just my boxers and socks. For some reason I am in a very bad mood and don't want to talk to my family when they come knocking. I just pretend like I'm asleep and dismiss my guilt by telling myself I'll talk to them in the morning about tonight. There wasn't much to tell was there..?

I pull out my laptop to help me unwind from the awkward and long night and quickly log onto facebook. No one is online when I check my chat window. Then again, my only friend that I ever talk to is currently staying at the capitol. Suddenly I am glad she wasn't there. She would've given me hell about that eye contact. Wait, why am I thinking about it? It was nothing. It was three seconds long. That is it, then you left. You pulled away from it. There is nothing there. "I am turning myself into Madge" I spoke into the darkness since no one was there to listen to me make a big deal out of nothing.

I switched from youtube to facebook for about two hours when I finally decided that one was a good time for sleep. Little did I know that was so not what I was going to be doing. I lay in bed for about 45 minutes thinking. Not about just anything. Those three seconds that are eating me alive. I have made eye contact with random strangers before. But this wasn't just eye contact I finally admitted to myself. It felt like I was looking at a friend, a close friend, maybe even family . She had such beautiful eyes. I know I have never seen her before. I would have remembered. I hate myself a little for realizing this. Maybe she goes to another school. Why would she go to my high school prom then? She probably went with her..date.

Ah ha! I cracked the case. There was a tall boy with her. He kind of looked like her brother almost. But I have seen him before. Maybe it was her boyfriend. I wouldn't come to terms with the fact that I was a little bit jealous, because I don't get jealous over things like that. Maybe, we're just supposed to talk to each other. Some fate bull shit. I finish sorting my thoughts as much as possible and to quiet my thinking for the evening I decide to tell myself that if we were meant to have anything to do with each other then it'll still happen whether or not you stress over it. "Let the universe to its thing" I thought to himself. Oh my god why am I justifying and coming up with reasons to see her again. She is wasting her life with her boyfriend and I am better off alone with my paints. After I spend a few minutes scolding myself, I am finally greeted with the relaxing sensation of sleep.

The rest of my weekend had nothing to do with Prom at all. Thank God. I barely got any questions from Aunt Effie about my short evening out and I am grateful for that. I just painted all day Saturday. Sunday I spent with Effie and Haymitch, we went to town and got me more paint. Monday I came to school with the best and worst surprise. I couldn't decide. I wouldn't let myself believe it was either good or bad.

All I really knew was when my teacher called a new name for my homeroom attendance, I was guaranteed many more late nights thinking about how much this wasn't going to affect me.

That night I realized that my thoughts the night before about us meeting again if we had to by fate, had been confirmed.

And that night I also realized that three seconds of eye contact with that girl in the scarlet dress that was orange as the sunset, was going to be the death of me.

One thing is for certain. I need to avoid her at all costs. For some reason I find myself hating Katniss Everdeen.

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I know you hate me but this is won't last long. At all. Just wait for tomorrow my little duckies! Thank you for reading and bearing with me while we go through this weird spot! I love you! I will update tomorrow I swear everything will be okay! Review C:
