Notes: Oh yeah… I forgot. This story is slightly based on the story Stargirl. The aspect from that story is I took the character of Angel (In the story her name is Stargirl).
Chapter Three
That afternoon as I walked home, I thought about Angel and her note. What did she mean? I hadn't even talked to her before. Did she really love me? Or did she just say that cause I was nice? But how would she know I was nice? I groaned. Someone behind me called out.
"Yo! TK!" I turned around to see Tai and my brother Matt walking together from the high school.
"Hey guys," I smiled.
"What's up bro?" Matt asked me.
"Not much," I replied.
"I heard there's a new girl at your school," Tai said. I blushed. Tai and Matt shared a look.
"Is there something we don't know?" Matt asked.
"No, of course not," I lied, still blushing.
"You're a horrible liar TK," Tai chuckled. I nodded.
"So, what do you know?" Matt inquired.
"Not much," I replied, "Her name's Angel and she's in my grade. That's about it." Tai nudged Matt.
"I think you're still not telling us something," he winked. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever you reckon," I walked away from them. I heard them laughing behind me.
As I walked along, I spotted Angel a bit ahead of me. I ran to catch up.
"Hey," I said. She looked at me. She had the most beautiful green eyes I'd ever seen. They were large and soulful.
"Hi TK," she said, her voice like honey. I shivered.
"You're welcome," she said. I looked at her in confusion. "The note."
"Oh, thanks for the note," I said, feeling stupid. I blushed again. If I kept this up, I go down in the history books as the first human tomato.
"No problem," she smiled at me. She had a mega-watt smile. I grinned back idiotically.
"So, how come you gave me sunflowers and daisies instead of wildflowers?" I asked casually, trying to regain control of the conversation.
"Because they're your favourites," she said simply. I thought about it and she was right.
"How did you know that?" I asked.
"I know everything," she laughed. A beautiful laugh. It was magical. Her red hair floated around her like a halo as she spun around in circles laughing.
"Oh you do hey?" I joked. She stopped and smiled at me again. My heart skipped a beat.
"Yes I do TK," she said seriously. I changed the subject.
"So, Angel's a pretty interesting name," I commented.
"It is?" Angel asked.
"Yeah, you're the only Angel I know," I replied. I realised how that sounded and blushed.
"Thanks," she said and started skipping ahead of me. I jogged to keep up.
"Do you know why your parents picked the name Angel?" I puffed, out of breath.
"Oh, they didn't pick it. I did," she told me. I must have looked puzzled because she laughed at me.
"I picked my own name because the old one had worn out. Like a shirt would or your shoes. I was also Rainbow and Sunshine and when I was five I was Pretty Horse," she said.
"Pretty Horse?" I giggled. She smiled.
"Of course. I really liked horses," she laughed as well. I realised that we were standing outside my apartment block.
"I live here," I said. "I better go." Angel suddenly pulled me forward and hugged me and then she skipped off down the road. I stood there dazed.
"What just happened?" I said aloud.
