The fist time Gardner and Tulsa met from her eyes
She was jamming out to her music, ignoring the crappy hole of a school she attended. It was incredibly annoying now that the one person who didn't constantly rub her the wrong way, had abandoned all communication, and for once she felt like being alone wasn't such a good thing after all. She'd always been alone, totally independent, but she found herself enjoying his virtual company; but then the jerk left her.
Tulsa was anticipating calculus, secretly hoping for a response from him like she always did, always let down, and yet she still tried.
"Tulsa!" She heard her name but ignored it.
Suddenly she looked up to see a crazily tall boy that looked innocent and young for his age. (As in, mentally young, just want to clear that up) He had on sunglasses, a little trendier than she would have expected. She knew who he was. She slapped him, a lot wimpier than he deserved.
"What was that for?!" He yelled.
"You jerk! You ghosted me!"
After a short conversation with Gardner, she broke into a rather random thought. "You're taller than I thought you'd be." She told him and hid a smile when he responded with:
"And you're meaner than I thought you'd be." She had to admit, it was a pretty good comeback. She might of mildly thought it was vaguely cute.
As she sat in class she thought about him. She was cuter in real life than over the internet. His eyes were incredibly blue, which was a crazy match to his dark hair and pale skin. He was unique, that was for sure. And something about him was off, different, strange, and for some reason it was attractive. He seemed so young, sweet, innocent, like all he could see in the horrible world, was the good and beautiful and none of the bad.
She decided then and there, that she was going to remain detached from him, she couldn't afford to risk her plans and weigh herself down with a boy who obviously knew nothing about the real world. She'd just have to…to not let him get to her.
Kay, so I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I don't particularly like it, so I figured I'd get some other opinions. Don't worry, better stuff to come.
