So now I started off towards the town. It was 8:30 AM and I decided to keep going straight when I reached the blacksmith's
because I've already seen the other road before. As I kept on walking I daydreamed looking into the sky. "I could get used
to this quiet little town. It's so much better than being in the city and being a salesman hands down." I thought. BUMP!
CRASH!
All I know is that I fell on the floor and I don't know what I hit. I rubbed my head, stood up and realized I hit a girl! "Oh. I'm
so sorry. The first person besides the mayor I meet here and I run into them I'm sorry." I panicked. All I heard was a giggle
and then, "Oh its ok, don't worry about it!" I helped her up and she kind of purposefully swayed into me like she was going
to give me a hug or something. Then not missing a beat, she says very cheerfully, " I'm Ann. I work at the Inn with my dad
Doug." As I looked at her she looked like a tomboy. She had orange hair and dressed like a farmer with overalls and pigtails.
As I stepped back and blushed a bit I said, "Um, yea, I'm Tony. I am going to be the new farmer here. It's nice to meet you"
I held out my hand for a hand shake out of nervousness. She looked to young for me and wasn't really my type. She looked
disappointed when I did this but then smiled and shook it anyways.
"Well you are going to like it here Tony. The people here are really friendly. Really really friendly." She got closer to me.
"Well, most of them really." Then she looked at her watch and had a startled look for a minute. "I'm sorry Tony, I have to go
to the Inn to clean. It was really nice to meet ya." She giggled and skipped off. I knew she liked me, there was no hiding that.
But she wasn't really my type. Then I thought again, "Well I don't know how many available girls are here so I might not get
to be picky. What did she mean bye MOST the people here are nice?"
As I pondered that I passed a winery and saw some grape vines there. Then as I passed that I saw a library. "Oh good.
Maybe they will have some books on farming tips." I thought. As I reached the door I heard some yelling from a girl inside.
"No!…Not good …..Not right…..AAAAHHHHH" I worried the worst like some attacker or something and opened the
door hastily. As I did I saw the girl, but she wasn't in serious trouble. She was behind a desk with her head down and then
she threw a pencil at the door without looking first. It came at me point first and I dived on the floor. When she heard the
thump she looked up. Startled she said, "Oh my goodness. I am so sorry mister. Are you ok?" She helped me up.
I finally looked at her good and noticed that she had glasses and had long black hair. She looked like someone you would
expect to be in a library. Not trying to be mean or anything, just describing.
"Yea I'm fine," I replied, "I've got a thing for falling down today anyways." I laughed trying to make her feel better. She did a
little giggle and I said, "Why were you yelling? I thought you were being attacked or something!"
"Oh, that." She looked embarrassed I guess, "I'm writing a novel and have writers block. I couldn't think of what to write
next! It just frustrated me so much."
"Is that it? " I laughed, " Don't worry about that. My mind gets blocked up a lot. All you have to do is not think about it. It
will come in time. I am Tony by the way. I am going to be farming here." Then I thought, "I am going to be saying that a lot
huh?"
"I'm Mary." Then I noticed her eyes dropped towards my arm. "Oh my harvest goddess! Your bleeding!" I looked down
and saw she was right. My right arm had a pretty big cut in it. I probably hit the Gold thing on the door frame when I dived on
the floor. I said, "Ugh blood. I believe blood is meant to stay inside you. Don't worry about it its not that bad." But I lied. It
really did hurt. Like a knife was in me.
"You should go to the hospital right away!"
"The hospital, isn't the hospital for big emergencies though?" I added. I remember the city hospitals being huge and full of
badly hurt people from car wrecks and such.
"Well it's the only medical building we have here so there really is no choice she added. "All you do is follow the road past
the supermarket and you should be there."
"Alright. Thank you. It was nice to meet ya." I smiled. I walked out the door as she said, "Hey wait. If you are going to be the
farmer why don't you take this book?" She jumped onto the ladder and grabbed a book at the top shelf. "It should help you
farm."
"Thank you Mary. Bye bye." I said trying to get out fast so I can get this cut taken care of.
"Bye Tony."
She seemed like a really nice girl. Probably a really good friend. But something about her didn't have me attracted to her like
love either. I finally realized that I was looking for love as well as following my dream as a farmer here! All the girls at the city
are mean and nasty. (I am just saying that for the story, I do not really believe that fact ladies. Sorry) So it wasn't just the farm
that called me here.
After all this deep thought I reached the hospital. It was really small. I put the book May had given me in my rucksack. I
opened the door and walked up to the desk that I found. I saw a girl facing a shelf arranging medicine or something. Me being
the smart person, realized she was the nurse. "Excuse me." I said not trying to be rude. Then when she turned around I
noticed the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I mean it was like a movie with the corny music and the special heart and
flower background behind her. She looked gorgeous with her short cut brown hair and her nurse outfit. My jaw dropped and
I had to literally push it up with my hand to try not to look to stupid. That didn't help to well. I totally have forgotten about the
pain and the cut entirely. I couldn't even talk. But I tried to with no prevail, "H…..ugh….huh……hi" Is all I managed. All she
could do is laugh a little. But it wasn't like a, ha ha your so stupid laugh yea know? Then she started to speak but I could
barely hear it because the stupid background music was still going in my head, "Hi, my name is Elli. How can I help you?"
"Oh!" I finally snapped out of it enough to use at least kinder garden sentences, "My, my name is Topey, Uh I mean Tokey!
NO! I mean Tony!" She laughed again but stopped. She had discovered me arm and found out why I was here in the first
place. "Oh My!" She rushed to the shelf and got some disinfectant and an ace bandage.( you know, the thing u wrap your
arm in!) She had told me to sit down on a plastic chair next to her so I did without hesitation. Suddenly the pain returned as
she bent down and started to clean up my arm. I winced and then opened my eyes. When she was putting on the ace
bandage I noticed she was looking at me smiling. I knew she could tell what I thought about her. I am not that good of hiding
my emotions like that. When our eyes met I turned completely red in blush and averted my eyes. She just smiled more and
then let go of my arm. "There good as new! Or least it will be after a couple of days."
"Th…Thank you Elli. I…I should probably be g…going now." She just giggled then started to walk back to her desk. "Bye."
I said. She turned around, smiled, then turned back, "Goodbye Tony." I walked out feeling rejuvenated.
