Todd sat outside on the steps of the high school, waiting for jocks and preps to go home first. Walking home with them, constantly getting hit in the back of the head with small pebbles, getting yelled at and called silly names was not the game he wanted to play today. So, he sat there with his head resting in his knees, and his hands clutched around his shins. It made him look small and vulnerable, or as the jocks would say "Like a queer missing his butt buddy". He was 16 now. Much taller, but about equally as skinny as his neighbor, Johnny which usually was the reason for the torment. That and his love for black and eyeliner. His dark brown hair from child hood deepened into a jet black and was nearly always untamable. His eyes were now fitted handsomely onto his face, and a bright hazel that dazzled in the sun. He had been told he was a 'total hottie' but only in a creul, joking way. At least, it was a funny joke to the stupid blonde-haired, blue-eyed cheerleaders. He sighed, looking down to his watch that hung loosely on his tiny wrist. It seemed about the right time. He stood up slowly, and streched. Todd turned, hearing the door to the main entrance behind him open. Out she stepped. A gorgeous, raven-haired girl. He had seen her before, she was in most, if not all, of his classes. She looked to him. Her eyes were a light shade of blue, standing out even more under the contrast of her hair. She wore a short pleated skirt, black and white striped stockings, a mesh shirt with a simple black tank over top, and a shin-high pair of 3 buckle boots. They reminded him very much of Nny's old boots. She smiled at him, and walked down the stairs, brushing a few strands of that silky hair away from her face and tucking it gingerly behind her ear. He saw it was decorated with dangling earrings that had little men on nooses. He smiled a little, those were neat. He watched her as she strolled across the parking lot to a beat up, gray car and got in. It started, after a few attempts of her pulling back hard at the ignition. She slowly pulled out and left, turning right onto the street he walked along. He thought for a second. The car looked familar as well. He had a stange feeling that he knew this girl at least that he had seen her somewhere else besides school.
