I let out a small gasp at the sight of him. And I mentally kicked myself for doing so just a moment later.
'He's gonna remember me and think I'm some sort of stalker or something, gosh why did it have to be him'
Suddenly he bent down and started to pick up my belongings. And he was smiling the entire time.
'Maybe he doesn't think I'm a stalker, he probably doesn't even remember me………yea that's it, he just thinks I'm some poor girl in need of a place to stay….perfect, just perfect' I let out a sigh as we continued to pick up my belongings.
"I'm sorry about running into you like that though, it was completely my fault" I said for the tenth time as he continued to help me by carrying my stuff to my room.
He laughed quietly to himself. 'Weird' and he entered my room, put my stuff on the bed turned around and stuck out his hand.
I stared at it for a moment wondering what in the world was making him act so strange.
"You're supposed to shake it" he smiled.
I smiled a little, and stuck out my hand. When our hands did finally touch, I felt a small tingle run up my arm.
~*~*~*~
I don't know what was making me act so strange, but I felt like I couldn't be myself around her, in the hopes that she wouldn't remember me. If she did, I felt as though any chance of getting to know her better was gone. When she touched my hand, it felt like I would explode.
She smiled up at me, the same way she did the first time I saw her. I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Do you want me to show you around?" I blurted out.
"Sure, that would be great thanks"

"This is Racetrack, Skittery, Boots, and Pie Eater" Blink pointed out.
"Hey Cleo, how bout you's and Blink pulls up a chair and join our little poker game" The boy Racetrack called out with a smirk.
"Say no" Blink whispered into my ear.
"No that's okay, maybe some other time though" I giggled at his obvious disappointment that he wouldn't be able to take our money.
"Some other time then" Race perked up a bit at the hope of 'some other time'.
"And over here is, Mush" Blink clapped Mush on the shoulder as he walked by, "this here is Specs, Dutchy, and Tumbler." Specs and Dutchy nodded towards me and smiled and Tumbler and Mush jumped up and headed my way. Mush with his hand extended wanting to shake my hand, and Tumbler just wanted to say hi.
"Nice to meet you miss Cleo" Mush beamed.
"Nice to meet you to Mush, I guess Jack told you all, my nickname huh?"
"Yea he sure did, and I think it's really nice" Tumbler piped in from behind Mush.
"Aw well thank you Tumbler, I think your names pretty awesome to"
He smiled and blushed and turned then walked away. We all stood there for a minute just wondering what just happened. And then Blink and Mush started laughing. After a minute, I joined in and we laughed for a moment until the door rushed open. Standing in the door way was Jack and two others, who I had yet to meet.
