Chapter53- Fortune Favours The Bold
I sat in the library watching her as she studied her long dark hair was tied back in an Emerald ribbon the same colour as her hair. She was so beautiful it was unnerving I really liked her yet I couldn't bring myself to talk to her. A set of books slammed down next to me shocking me out of my daze, the person sat down next to me "it's Nathan right, your Captain of the Baseball team." I look up and see a male version of the girl I had been thinking of the male chuckled "I'm Nicholas but most call me Nick" he said
"You help with the school's paper" I said.
"Yep that's me and the girl you were just staring at is my sister, if you like her go for it I don't mind you just need to look out for dad" he told me. I relaxed a bit realising that he wasn't about to bite my head off for liking his sister " Are you sure your ok with this" I asked.
"Nathan here's a piece of advice I hear my parents say this a lot if you wait till you are ready you never will be, or as my aunt Isadora would say fortune favours the bold." Deciding to take his advice I gathered my books together and walked over to where she was sat. "Hi it's Sophia, right?" I asked setting my books down, she looked over and smiled "I am and you are Nathan I've seen you play you have a mean swing and a good pitch" she said.
"You watch the games?" I asked her
"Only the home ones" she answered putting down a piece of red chalk and brushing some hair out of her face leaving a coloured mark across her forehead. We sat quietly for a moment as we worked before I bought up the courage to ask "I know your probably busy this weekend but would you like to go out?"
"I'd love too I'm free Friday after school" she said her face turning slightly pink could it be she had a crush on me as well, of course she likes you stupid why would she say yes
"Soph, come on mum's waiting" I heard her brother Nick call.
"One minute Nick" she responded packing her things away as she did she scribbled something on a blank sheet of paper "here in case we need to change our plans" she said passing it to me "see you later Nathan" she waved when she and her brother had disappeared I looked down at the paper she had given to me on was scribbled her number along with a couplet
I'm not sure how you feel about me
But with you I'd love to go for a coffee
