Crowded Days
Ch1 Once Upon a Time
He looked over at me, I was waiting for his answer. But still he was just standing there staring at me in wonder. I felt naked he was looking at me as if he saw an angel or a ghost. I just stood there as he put the cigarette out and stepped over it. He started to look around. "Brandon." He said in a soft voice. I just nodded as if it was the most important thing I heard in decades. He stopped staring and put his hands in the pockets of his pants. I just stood there staring at him. What was I supposed to say or do? "I'm Emma." I said. He just shrugged, Somehow just saying my name felt like I was telling a secret part of my life. His hands where still in his pockets he wasn't facing me anymore. He was looking around as if I wasn't behind him about to melt. I heard him clear his throat. He turned around he opened his mouth but nothing came out. I just stood there with no where to go. Somehow I felt safe but still I was scared about something. He just starred at my feet. I shifted around uncomfortably and looked around. I wanted to say something I really did. But nothing came out. I guess this was how it felt to be caught up in a high school 'crush'. I opened my mouth but nothing came out again. He started to touch his hair. It was so wavy and messy and it wasn't even probably combed. It probably went up to his shoulders. His brown eyes where so bright across his face. "I've seen you around." I said. It took enough courage to actually say something. He just looked at me his eyes so wide and attentive. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't get any words out. Was I even supposed to speak yet? Or should I just stand there and wait for him to talk. I walked up closer to him wondering what he would do. He shifted around he looked as if it was the last place he wanted to be in. I stared at his hair after he turned around again. He just stood there as if he was just waiting for something. He turned around and looked at me. "So what do you want." He said his voice so calm and so sweet. It felt comforting to hear him speak. It was like the sweetest thing I ever heard. I just stood there wondering what I was supposed to say or do. I just looked at him. It was as if he wasn't really waiting for an answer he was just standing there not waiting for anything. I got closer. I could smell his hair. It was like a mix of cotton candy and raspberry. He stopped looking at me again. And we both just stood there. I practically forgot what he said. When he stood there I felt so calm and inside so happy. "Umm your friend Edrick told me to come here to get tickets for the concert." He nodded and took off his hat. He looked like a different person his wavy hair in tangles and all messed up. I felt kind of weak around him. He hands looked so soft. He took out the tickets and we just stood there. He handed them to me. I tried to put them in my pocket but it was so shallow it fell out. I picked them up and as I did slowly I could feel him. His breath his aura. I could feel him so close to me. And when I got all the way up I brushed his shoulder. His eyes were locked on me. He just stood there staring and I stood there eyes locked he just looked at me up and down and I was waiting for something. Something if he could just say something to me to make me feel like I was supposed to stay. Or I was supposed to leave. "Umm thanks." I said nervously my voice practically trembling. I stood there waiting for him to speak. But he didn't. Not for at least a few minutes. "Umm So where's your little friend." He said. Still not looking at me. Just quiet. Everything was quiet. I didn't understand why it took him so long to start a conversation. "Umm I guess your talking about Laelani. She's umm...........................I really don't know where she is isn't that kind of a trip. I mean she's probably like in the library or something." I knew I was talking to much I couldn't help it. I needed to feel like I could just tell him something or anything. He brushed his hands through his hair and then he put his hat back on. Right then some guy in a red shirt called him over. I've seen the guy before but never with him which kind of got me a little. "Umm yeah umm bye." He said walking away. "maybe I'll talk to you later bye!" I shouted after him. I closed my eyes for a second. Trying to rehearse everything that just happened. I felt so calm and now I felt so happy. It's like a feeling where you don't feel it when your around the person but only when there gone and your all alone it finally gets you what happened. That was the moment and I finally felt like that. I felt so good standing next to him after he left. I didn't want him to leave but I had to. Was this some kind of obsession I was dealing with. I don't know but all I know is that this was a pretty good beginning. For maybe something more.
