Pulse

Chapter two of beat…

Two Months Earlier…

I stared up intensively at the sky. The baby blue was mixing with the marshmallow white clouds. The wind was tickling at my nose and it smelled of freshly mown grass. The smells of summer all invaded my senses. And the salty ocean water crashed at the shore behind my house. My blonde hair was tickling the back of my neck. And the warm sun was heating my cheeks. I smiled softly at all of these feeling combined how much I just wanted to lie in my lawn and fall asleep. Summer break was finally here, my last summer break. Next year I would be a senior in high school. And then after that I would be out of school. Well except for college which would be right around the corner. Things were coming to a close for me. Well all of the class that I had grown up with. All of us were excited and sad at the same time. After this year we would be out of school. But we would be separating and going to colleges across the country from each other.

As for me I would be staying here. I have a four year scholarship to our town's university. They had said when they gave me the scholarship that they had been keeping an eye on me since I had gotten a perfect score on my ACT. I wrapped my arms around my knees and smiled again. The wind blew softly and put a cool breeze on my skin. Maybe I'll go for a swim. I thought as I stood up. I felt a little wobbly from not moving for so long. I went into my house and went up the big stairs to my bedroom. When I finally got to my room I grabbed my swim trunks and began to change out of my jeans and t-shirt. When I had my swim trunks on I walked back down the stairs and out my back door. I walked to the sand and felt how warm it was I smiled. My toes were wiggling as I walked in the sand. The texture was slightly scraping at my skin. It wasn't hard or bad enough to leave any scratches but it was enough to stop the ant itching that was there. When I had finally made it up to the water, I breathed in deeply taking in the scent of the ocean.

I slowly placed my foot into the water. The waves were moving lightly against it. The water was bringing a cooler sensation that the sand. The water was soft and completely enveloped my feet. As I stepped deeper the coolness continued to rise up on my ankles. This sensation made me smile. I took another step and once again the water got deeper. The waves were now hitting at my upper thighs. But only my ankles were in the water. I took another step and now my lower calves were submerged. From there I dove headfirst into the water. Some of the salty water had made its way into my mouth. I swam slow letting my body take in the ocean water. When I came up for air I just floated on my back. I was just lying there looking up at the sky. There were hardly any clouds and the clouds that were there were white and puffy. The sun shone bright lighting up the ocean and making it look blue.

I don't know how long I had stayed in the ocean because rightly I don't even know the time I had started. But I was in a long time. So I slowly swam to shore so I could go home and take a shower.

…TIMEGAP…

After I had taken my shower and changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt I had decided I should go out and shop for a little while. So I grabbed my car keys and hopped into my car, driving to the mall. I loved the valley where I lived. The sun always shone and it rained very little. There was always a happy couple walking down the street. Most of them being happy couples from my school, but they were happy together none the less. In all out honesty I was jealous of them. I was seventeen and had never been in a relationship with anybody. Of course I was attractive according to most of the girls at the school. Some of them had been after me because of that. But I wasn't interested in that. I'm not into girls, I'm into guys.

But none of them were interested in me. I mean at least not that I know of. But who knows right? I don't have the time to go around and ask "Do you like me?" to every guy that I am interested in. And there are hardly any gay guys that go to our school. But none of those are even remotely close to my type. I have standards and they don't fit them. They don't even come close to fitting them. Some people say I set my standards to high. But I have to because I don't want to end up going out with some creep who with take advantage of me.

Then again I am not the most trusting person either. I always try to trust someone but I never had been able too. It's just hard to trust anyone when you have had the kind of life that I have had. My tears were always falling because your dad has hit you again mom always yelling at you because you love the wrong sex. Everything goes easy for a lot of kids. Good parents that love you for who you are. But not for me, my life is nothing but grief and sorrow.

I know what you're thinking. You are thinking that I am only trying to get sympathy from you. But I have had enough sympathy to last a life time. And honestly I am sick of it.

As I get to the mall I notice a new guy in town. He had shoulder length blond hair that he wore under a black beanie and he was very muscular. That's all I could really see at my distance. But I could also see he was very attractive. And his looks fit my standards. But he is probably straight and his personality probably wouldn't fit them.

But then he looked at me. And I could see his eyes they were brown. They were the deepest chocolate brown I had ever seen. I could feel the blood rushing up to my face at his gaze.

A:N/ okay here is chapter two. And I am not being rude… but I changed the color of snows eyes on purpose. I thought he would look better with very deep brown eyes that you can look forever into…
