A/N: So here is the 4th chapter. I am really sorry about the delay. It hasn't stopped raining since before Christmas and at the moment we don't know if we are going to be able to get home for awhile. FLOODS SUCK. I have to go back to school in two weeks time and that will be interesting.

If anyone has any suggestions for the next chapter they would be extremely welcome.

Also, I get a little sad when I see the all of the hits, favorites and alerts for a story but not any reviews. I love to know that people are reading my story but I would love to know what they think of it too. Good and Bad.


The second time that I met Annie Walker was a mistake on my part. Not hers, only mine.

I was still angry and pissed about the comments that she had made in the sound booth, and I was getting sick of all the comments that the testosterone filled males that made up the student body – not that that didn't include me – about the hot new girl that had just transferred into our grade. I'm not sure why I was getting so annoyed about the comments, I mean they had never bothered me before, I had even taken part in the staring when I could still see.

So that is how and why I ran into Annie Walker a second time.

I had had enough of the comments and couldn't wait to finally get home so that the comments could end, so I turned on my play list of Mingus and covered my ears with the sound eliminating headphones that my Mom had given me just before the accident – mistake number 1, sound eliminating headphones mean that I can't hear the distinctive footfalls of people.

Because I was listening to Mingus instead of listening to my surroundings and concentrating on the movements of my cane I missed a few swipes – mistake number 2, concentrate on making the cane movements precise and even.

So when you put the two mistakes together you end up with disaster – of the extremely awkward kind. I ended up missing Annie's ankles when I missed the cane swipes and ran into her, the only indication of who I had run into being the distinct smell of her sultry Jo Malone Grapefruit perfume and the soft grunt she gave as she fell onto the floor.

"Crap, I'm sorry I didn't realize that you were there" I said as I offered my hand to help her up.

"It's fine, I really should have been concentrating on what I was doing." I heard her reply in a small almost scared voice.

"Hey, are you OK?, not to offend or anything, but you sound a little scared." I said, worried that it had something to do with what I had said earlier.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just had a run in with some of the princesses of the school, they can probably scare anyone that they like. "

"Yea, they can, but don't listen to anything that they say, most of the time they only say it to make other people feel like crap. And about what I said earlier, I didn't mean it, well not all of it, I'm just still a little touchy about the subject." I said still laughing a little at the way that she described the popular girls.

"No it's fine, really I understand I just wasn't expecting that when I walked into the sound booth. I want to work on the musical but I don't act so the teacher just told me to find something to do and tell her what it was later. You looked a little lonely up there on your own and I thought that you might like some company." Annie commented in one big rush, "I'm Annie, by the way"

"Auggie, and if you want to, I'm sure that I could find some room in that sound booth to fit you in, if you still want to keep me company. Just promise not to move anything around."

"If your OK with it then that would be really cool. Well I have really got to get to the library to research for this project that my English teacher has given me. Want to join me so you can tell me a bit about yourself?" She replied

"Sure, that would be great, but you have to tel me about yourself as well"

Maybe Annie Walker wasn't as bad as I had thought.


R&R and remember that I love all of the reviews that I get.
