"The New Kid"

'What had just happen? I just got a date with a stranger that I don't like.' Keely had thought. She had just felt awkward. She never had a date-date, since forever. Keely thenentered the school building with too many thoughts in her head.There, shestarted tohead to the library for Study Hall. When she had enter the library, see sawmany students around. So decidingly, Keely sat down to wooden desk that was located in the sun-lit corner. She hadthought that this was agood place to think. It was bright and quiet, and mainly, it was isolated. The students here were mostly either talking silently to one another orwere reading the library book. Keely didn't bother to notice anybody in there because she had over-thought. She then spoke out without realizing that she was talking at all,

"What if something happens on the date with me and Tia?

What is his name, anyways?

Why did I agree to go?

What do I do if he likes me and I didn't like him back?

What if I fall for him, but somehow he manage to break my heart..."

Keely had paused and thought even harder and just sadly said,

"Who's going to prevent my heart from breaking...when it's broken, who's going to mend my heart?"

Keely hadn't notice if anyone was around and if anyone was listening, as being oblivious to her surrounding. But she didn't care. She was lost to this world; she had lost the grip to this world. Ever since, he, the one who had hold onto herandprotected her from this painful world,had let goofher. She sat there looking at the table, until a voice had emerged andwas itspoken to Keely.

"'My heart?'" he quoted.

'Who had heard me?' I thought. Should I feel embarrassed, ashamed, or sad? I don't know what to feel anymore...as it didn't really matter. I just looked up, toward to the person who had just overheard me. It was a random boy that I was pretty sure that I had never met. He was about five feet andfive inches. He had dark caramel eyes and had a dark chocolate colored hair that was quite eerie familiar to me. It had resemble tothose of his, but it couldn't been him. His face was different, nothing like his. This guy have a squared jaw, high cheek bones, and less facial appeal than of his. However, the way we had dressed; the unbutton collar shirt with the inner t-shirt,the jeans that he used to wear,andthe Converse he hadon, reminded of me of him, too much. No matter what, it wasn't him and I had to dealit inlife now...

"Oh, you heard me?" I said calmly as I looked at his eyes.

"Well, not much of it. Are you sad or depressed?" he asked me.

I didn't really know him, but I guessed that he was trying to be friendly. So I had politely had answered him, "No, I'm fine."

"Do I know you? You look familiar kinda me." I had said to him. Of course, I had never saw him, but I had just want to start a small conversation. I felt lonely now, and well since he's here, I'll,mind as well, talk to him.

"I'm pretty sure you don't know me. I just had moved here."

"From where?" I had asked him.

"From...um...Handsome Town." He replied quickly and unsurely.

'Wow, another personwho had moved to Pickford. First, it was him; second, Owen; next, Via; then, Tia; and finally, um—'

"Sorry, but I didn't got your name?"

"I'm Duffy, Rupert Duffy." He smiled at me, but with a sad-like, but innocent eyes.

'–and Rupert... strange that sounds familiar...'

"Hi Rupert, I'm Keely Teslow. Hope you're enjoying H.G. Wells High and Pickford, where it is apparently the city for newcomers," I said smiling at him and he had smile back at me with hurt in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" I asked him. I was curious why eyes looks sosad.

"What are you talking about?" he replied. He must hadeither thought I was crazy, or I had justread his mind. Then he continued, "I'm great."

He acted normal. Maybe it was just his eyes that look sad, not him, I guess. We then talked to each other,as time past.

"So how's life as being the school's news anchorwoman?" he asked randomly.

"What? How did you know I was the school's new anchorwoman? I thought you were new here?"

"Uh...well, I heard allabout you. In Handsome Town,...um...there's alot of talkfrom people, especially,about this cute, smart girl named Keely. And since you told me you were Keely, I assume you're that same cute girl."

He smiled at me and I felt embarrassed; however, I grinned in puzzlement.

"Well, I'm not all that you think that I am. I'm not sure what people had told you about me. Well basically,I'm saying that you just can't believe in what people say."

"Yah, that's for sure," he said and whispered,"I shouldn't be talking."

"What was that?"I asked. I had just heard what he said, but I might have beenmistaking,and just in case, I didn't know what he had meant.

"Nothing," he said.

His eyes again had look even more sad but, his face still remain the same. What had happen to him, I thought. Maybe, he was just homesick, or something.

Then I began to start a new subject, since it began to fall silent.

"Well, I heard hat Handsome Town has a lot of cute girls," I joked andIwinked at him.

"You must have a girl that you like."

That came out of my mouth, all of sudden. I didn't realize what I just said, but I was interested in small talk now.

"Ha..." he laughed briefly but his attitude changed."There wasgirl thatI knowfor a long time. She was smart, honest, trustworthy; and she is the cutest girlthat you'll ever met. I liked her and I can sense that she had like me too, but one day–"

'Go on' I thought. He had justcut off. It had just started to be interesting, until then, he looked up with those sad eyes again. I can't bare to look straightly at it.

"–It's just the past. We should importantly think about the present time now, and the future." He looks at me and I gazed of for a while.

'Oh, he was right. He is like me. Something in the past had happen to one of us, and it affected us. I want to think about the present time and my future, too. But, he's in the future...'

"Yeah, you're right," I smirked at him and then he smirked back, but the weird part is that we both knew that we had both faked it and didn't had meant it.

"So talking about the future, what are you doing today, Keely?" he had asked me, after the smile was gone.

"Well, my friend Tia and I–" I just hadsaid, until I notice he raised one of his eyebrow. "–was planning to go out with these two guys that we had just met."

His eyesthen looked stern, and it was weird. Why was he acting like this, I thought. I didn't really know why, maybe it was just something else. But then I still continued,

"And the problem is that, I didn't want to go."

"Oh really," he said. "Why?"

"I don't know why. I just had follow what was happening at that time."

"No, I meant, why didn't you want to go."

"Oh, it just that I don't like to go out, anymore, because I'm not ready to go out."

"Keely, why is that?"

"Because, truthfully, I don't want to get hurt."

"Well, Keely. There are many things in the world that can hurt you, but, it doesn't mean that you have to fear everything that comes your way."

I had listen to what he said. He was right and I nodded at him, to show that I had just agreed with him. Now I had realized, that thiswas weird. I had never talk to anyone like this, notsince for the last past years. I felt comfortable. Also,I didn't really know if it was there, but I sensed a connection among us. I had wanted to know more about him and wanted him to talk more, but unfortunately, the bell had rang.

"Oh, look at the time, we'll talk later," I said. He looked at me and I got up and turned around and started to walk away. While I was leave, I then heard him said something.

"Okay, See ya' around, Keels," he barely said, when I was at past the door.

I had just walked out of the library, until, I had just realize what he had just said. Then there, fears had erected from my eyes. I looked back quickly to see if Rupert was still there. However, the table I looked back was empty, he was gone with no sight.

I quoted what Rupert had just said

"'Keels'?"...
