I felt my body go into a wave of pain. I grunted and cussed under my breath. I slowly opened my eyes and squinted as the sun shined into them. I turned slowly and saw a boy about my age looking down at me with a worried expression on his face. "Are-Are you ok? I'm really sorry, b-but you just ran in front of me. I-I stopped as fast as I could!" I moaned and clutched my knees to my chest. He must have been the one in the BMW, I thought. "Are you ok? Should I call the hospital?" I forced myself to sit up and show him I was ok. If I went to the hospital the cops would find me for sure. Besides, I didn't even know this body know this boy, who knew who he was. "I-I'm fine. I just got the wind knocked outta me." The boy helped me up and gave a little gasp. "Your beautiful!" he whispered. "Oh, sorry, I-I didn't mean to say that out loud. You must think I'm weird right?" I shook my head and looked at myself in his rearview mirror. I had long, curly brown hair and green eyes. I knew I looked ok, but never beautiful! I gasped as I noticed the long scrape across my cheek. I touched it gently and a severe pain shot through my body. I looked at my hands and saw that hey were scraped up crudely too. "What are you talking about? I look horrible!" I exclaimed turning back to the boy. Obviously, he hadn't been around a lot of girls. "No you don't! What are you talking about?!" the boy cried out.
I looked closer at the boy's face. He had blonde curly locks of hair scattered around his face and deep blue eyes with a gleam of mystery. He was pretty cute. I had to say. "What's your name?" the boy asked, "I haven't seen you around town." Thinking he would probably see her face in the newspaper anyway, I replied, forcing a smile, "Taren. Taren Jonstone. What's yours?" I asked politely, looking around to see if the police were still following me. "Matt. Matt Sanders." The boy replied. "Nice to meet you, Matt. Thank you for saving me." I said, still worried about the police. " Nice to meat you too, Taren." We shook hands, and then fell into fits of laughter, realizing how corny we sounded. I realized then, it was the first time I had laughed in two years. I suddenly saw a beam of light and a part of a police uniform coming from the forest. "Sorry to leave so suddenly, but, I have to go." I said quickly and began to run towards town, quickly stopping to pick up my diary.
"Wait! Can I have your address?" Matt yelled. "Sorry, I'm only in town for a day!" I yelled back not even turning my head to glance at him. As I continued to run I heard him start the engine of the BMW. I stopped for a moment, watching him leave, I relized how much I had wanted to stay and talk to him. Suddenly, I noticed he wasn't heading in the direction he had started. He was heading towards me….
