Chapter 4: You are my fire, the one desire

The next day, Hunter watched Arden as she drew in her drawing book. He loved the way she drew her pictures.The two never knew that Arden was really good at drawing. No one did. Hunter came closer to his chance. He started writing poems about her. He took out hispoetry paper. He decided to write now.He wrote this:

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way.

Hunter would write poetry for her every night before slumber. At recess, Hunter watched as Arden wrote her letters to Basil of Baker Street. Arden planned to write to him every day. Hunter would also follow her with out letting her notice anything. Hunter wanted to win her heart very badly. He thought of him and her as two people from two different worlds. He gazed at arden hoping to actually talk to her one day. But he didn't know if he would get that chance.

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way.

Later that day, Hunter saw Arden looking at fields of little flowers. Hunter wrote that down in her note pad. "She likes flowers" wrote Hunter. When Arden left, Hunter immediately snuck by the field and picked out some flowers. "She's gonna love me for this." he thought. Hunter then ran to Arden. He tapped on her shoulder. Arden turned around. Hunter gasped at her beautiful eyes. He gave her the flowers. Arden felt confused.

"I know you. Listen I know what you're trying to do. And I think we shouldn't go this far. I want it that way." said Arden.

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way.

Am I your fire
your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way.

Arden walked away from him. Hunter trembled to his knees.

"What?" asked Hunter. Hunter bowed his head. He held out his hand. He felt his heart responding.

"Come back! Come back!" his heart said. Hunter got up and turned away. The phrase "I want it that way" buzzed in his head. He never wanted her say that.

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way.

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

Hunter's head was still down. "I thought I was made for you." he thought. Hunter dropped his flowers. Arden looked behind and saw everything. "Does he really have things for me?" thought Arden. A couple hours later, Arden and Hunter saw each other.

"Hello Arden." said Hunter solemnly.

"I saw your sorrow. Now I'm convince." replied Arden. Hunter looked at her.

"Are you saying that you and I can be…friends?" asked Hunter. Arden nodded. Arden then walked away with a smile. Hunter cheered. He took out his poetry paper and wrote:

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, you are, you are.

He then walked away with glee.

"I can't believe it! I won her heart!" he said happily.

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way.

Everything may seem fine now. But the ways of Professor Ratigan is yet to come.
