Filling In The Empty Spaces
Disclaimer: Pretty much obvious. I don't own any of these characters, except for those you don't recognize!
Chapter One
You could say it all started when I was trying to pick up my disastrous room on an late fall day. The leaves had already fallen off the trees, and I had awoken to a draft sneaking it's way through my room and a silvery frost coating my windows. The weather kept on saying that today and tomorrow and the next day, or maybe the day after that, that the meteorologists would finally get it right and there would be snow on the ground by nightfall.
As I looked out my window onto the street, I was proven wrong.
Shedding off my blanket, I walked over to my closet and pulled on a heavy and warm sweatshirt. And then shoving my window open all the way, a cool breeze flowed through, cleaning the stale and musty air.
I first went to the dead flowers in my glass jar. The water had gone bad and the petals wilted to an unrecognizable form. Dumping it out the window, I forgot the most important rule.
Look out so you don't hit anyone.
"Hey! What the hell?" I heard someone yell below.
"Oh shit…" I mumbled under my breath.
Poking my head out the window, I spotted a dark haired boy of about 16 pulling out the mushy stems and petals from his hair.
"Sorry!" I shouted down. Bringing my head back in, I quickly leaped down the stairs and opened the front door.
"I am so sorry." I said again. I couldn't believe I was so stupid. "Let me get a towel for you." I quickly went to the bathroom and brought it out to him.
"You know." He began in a very quiet voice, "You should really make sure no one's below before tossing things out a window."
"I know." I said, "But I didn't think anybody would be up at 7am on a Saturday."
He laughed.
"Yeah, that's a pretty good reason, despite the fact that I'm all wet." he said, drying his hair with the towel.
Smiling, I said "Well, I'm Olivia."
"Johnny." he said, grinning. Boy, he was cute.
"You want to come in?" I asked him. Maybe he would say yes.
"Actually I have to go, but thanks for the offer." he said.
Oh well, you can't win 'em all.
"I'll see you around." he said, handing me back the towel, "Thanks."
"Bye." I said, closing the door behind me and locking the door out of bad habit.
I guess I'm a sucker for a dark haired lad…
Short first chapter, I know! But please review and tell me what you think so far!
