*Chapter Three: Am I falling for her?*
Two weeks passed, and Fiona and I became very close friends. It was very strange, because I didn't open up completely to another person, even to my mom. We always hanged out together, and I could know her much better, and let me tell you, she's an incredible person.
One day we went to the park, we sat down in a bench and talked a lot. Some kids were playing soccer; one boy kicked the ball, and it almost hit me. I avoided it, but I fell off the bench. Fiona laughed.
"Are you okay?" she asked, helping me to stand up. I nodded and sat down again. "Thank God" she smiled, and took my hand. I looked away, blushing. Wait…why did I blush?
"Yeah…I'm fine" I said, then I stood up, motioning her to do the same, and she did.
We walked to my house, and we entered. My mom was at work, so we were alone there. She was helping me to do my homework, while we were talking. For some reason I couldn't tell, I didn't do anything but stare at her. She was so hypnotizing. Suddenly, she looked at me and I could lose myself into her brown eyes.
"Is there something wrong, Cole?" she asked, and I broke the glance.
"No…nothing… why?" My God. Why was I stuttering?
"Just asking" she said, smiling.
About 3 hours later, she had to leave. So I joined her to the door.
"Bye, Cole. It's been a great day" she said.
"Sure. Come over whenever you want"
"Thanks" she said, and she hugged me very tight. I was trembling, I think I had never shaken so badly. Some butterflies fluttered in my stomach, which was about to flip anytime.
She broke the hug, and looked into my eyes. "Thank you for being so kind to me, you're very special" she said, as she left. I stood at the door, I couldn't move… I was frozen.

That night I lied on my bed, still thinking about Fiona. She's such an special girl, and also incredibly beautiful. I didn't know what was happening to me, why I was feeling like that. I just met her 2 weeks ago and it felt like I knew her since forever…
"Am I falling for her?"
