Keir POV

The day we met…

I glanced up quickly, this couldn't be happening.

"So Keir, how many boyfriends did you say you had?" Josh Dirk turned to me slowly, crowding me into the corner of the booth. I couldn't believe that I had agreed to this "date". He had put his arm around my shoulder almost immediately after we had walked into the diner. I shrugged my shoulders, trying to send him a subtle message, but never mind. This guy was duller than he looked. I forced a grin and gingerly removed his hand from the back of my neck, dropping it like the plague. Still no response. This guy needed to take a hint.

"I haven't had a boyfriend before, Josh," I said and motioned for the waiter quickly. Josh scooted closer to me and placed his arm on the back of the booth. Talk about smooth. The waiter arrived just in time and I hurried to order. The sooner that we ate, the sooner this stupid date would be over. I know, I know. Your wondering why I even consented to go on this date, am I right? First, let me tell you one thing. I did not volunteer for this date. Hence, 'consented'. Anyhow, my "mother", if that's what you could call her, had decided that it would be "benificil" for me to go on this date. Meaning she wanted me out of the house while she prepared my older "sister" for her pageant. If you haven't noticed, I'm adopted. Yeah, normally people will get used to their familys and even begin to believe that they are their familys, but I was adopted into this family when I was eleven. Almost three years ago, and I still hadn't gotten used to it. Before—before I had bounced around orphanages' for six years, I can't remember my first five years of life…Well, lets get back to the diner, shall we? Josh moved closer to me, even though he already had me thinking I was part of the wall. I wasn't surprised that he didn't notice my little "relapse", he was too busy coming up with cliché one liners. Ugh.

"Well, I don't know why you haven't had a boyfriend; you must've got plenty of offers, right?" I smiled tightly and jabbed him in the ribs when the waiter arrived, I probably could've done it a little more gently, but… The waiter gave me a wink and a knowing smile after he took our orders, and that moment was burned into my memory for the rest of that year. Month. Whatever, I don't focus on those things, I'm a positive thinker, see? Still, could this day get any worse? Apparently not. I was about to get nauseous from the smell of Josh's breath as I stared pointedly out the window. After living from New York to Simi Valley, California- I lived in a very small town off the edge of Juneau, Alaska, where everyone knew everyone, so as I looked out the window and saw a tall, pale boy walking slowly past, I was immediately curious, and got up to leave. No, no, it had nothing to do with the fact that I would rather die than kiss Josh, and that meeting this new boy would be an excuse to leave… I pushed past Josh and offered a hurried reason for my departure.

"Uh, sorry—Josh. I, um, I gotta go…do something…"

I don't even know if he responded because I was out the door by the time he was on his feet. I burst out of the diner, ignoring the bell that rang annoyingly above my head.

The boy was already past the dentist's office, which was about two houses down, but when I looked behind me and saw Josh making his way towards the door, that was enough to send me jogging in pursuit of the guy. I ran up behind him and called out, but instead of responding or slowing down; he whirled around and crouched slightly, fists up.

"Hey, hey, hey, whoa! What's up with you, dude?" I asked with a half laugh. The first thing I noticed about the strangers face was that he had bright blue eyes, but they didn't move right to mine like someone's normally would; he looked off into the distance for a moment, then they locked onto my eyes. He stood silent for a moment, then straightened slowly.

"Hi…" He said slowly and I noticed that he "glanced" around, as if he was searching for somebody.

"Hi. So, where are you from, I've lived in this town for almost three years and I've never seen you…"

He paused.

"Yeah, I-I'm not from around here—"

"That's been established."

"Yeah."

"Huh, you already said that." I laughed.

He just nodded cautiously.

I couldn't help but like this guy. I jabbed my thumb over my shoulder towards the diner; Josh was standing in front of it with a murderous glare directed at the guy, which of course made me smile.

"So, are you staying awhile, we could—do something…" He frowned vaguely and I saw a look of what I thought was rebellion flash across his face, but it was gone in a second.

"No"

"What?"

"I was just leaving."

"Oh, well, ok. Uh, are you taking the bus?"

"Huh, not exactly."

"Oh…"

That was the first time I really looked at his eyes. Ooohhh! Well, that explains the odd reaction…

I said as I glanced around awkwardly, this dude wasn't making it easy to become friends.

"Well, if you could spare some time, I could show you the park or something, I can show you how to get there," I said, convinced that he would decline the offer and I could go home.He almost smiled, but didn't move.

"Wow."

"Wow what?"

"I'm just surprised that you have a park in this dinky little town, but yeah. I'll go with you." He said, and when he did the words were accompanied with a quick smile. He defiantly wasn't making this easy.

"Ummm… so, what's your name?" I asked hime

"Uh…its uh, J-Jeff." He said, flustered.

"Well, Jeff. Welcome to Juneau. I'm Keir."

I stuck out my hand and was surprised when he took it. Maybe he wasn't blind and he just had something wrong with his eyes…

Something flashed across his face when our skin touched and he seemed to be transformed. From a cinder-block to a guy I knew I was going to see more of…

"Well, Keir, I guess that I could let you show me the park…" I found out later that the only reason he had trusted me was because he had to find a place where there were no trees over head so he could take off without the help of Max of Fang directing him.

Review and comment, please. Rather, criticize on anything wrong!!
