Oopsie doopsies...I just realized I forgot to put the disclaimer in the others chapters. So here it is...I do NOT own National Treasure, only Lyndzi Gates.
Could someone tell me what a Mary Jane? is? I think that's what it's called. I have an idea of what it is but I'm not positive. Thanks!
Chapter 3
Conflict!
Lyndzi Gates was worried she had done someone offensive to Riley Poole. He hadn't said a word after asking her where she lived. He's probably one of those jerks who won't acknowledge my existence because I'm blind, she thought darkly.
She stopped walking, unable to stand the silence anymore. Riley had no choice but to stop, as she was holding onto his left arm. Lyndzi turned her head in his general direction. "Riley, I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you. But, I would appreciate it if you'd talk to me. If you're not talking to me because I'm blind, tell me. I can handle the truth."
It was several seconds before Riley replied, his voice hurt. "You think I'm not talking to you because you're blind?"
Lyndzi was shocked. "You mean, my blindness doesn't bother you? Most people treat me like a leper beacuse of it."
He squeezed her hand. "You being blind doesn't bother me at all."
She smiled at him. "Then, why were you not talking to me earlier?"
He coughed, "Well, I ...umm..."
"Out with it," she cried impatiently.
Riley sounded embarrassed when he finally spoke. "You make me nervous because...you're beautiful."
"You think I'm beautiful?" she asked increduously. Who the hell is he kidding. I'm not beautiful. Ryan made sure to tell me that.
"Yeah, I do. But please don't tell Ben I said that."
She laughed.
AN: I know it was crap, but please don't flame. I had the worst day at school. I'm a straight-A-student and got sent to the principal's office! AAH! I was pretty freaked out. If you have any ideas for my story, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me!
