Chapter 3

I knew all there faces I knew all there names but I never talked to them and they never talked to me.

Until... "Excuse me ma'am but do you have any fishing line?" The husky voice of Quil Atera breaks me outta my daydream. "Uh ummm y-y-yes we do on isle 4 on the right side". I studder embarrassingly. "Alright thank you miss. "He chuckles. "Quil!" The high pitch voice of an adorible 7 year old Claire Young calls. Running through the door. " Claire Bear!

" ok thank you ma'am." Just then it was like he forgot to keep his eyes carefully traied on his hands. And his eyes finally found mine & everything changed...
