Chapter 4
Sorry this took so gosh darn long, I've been revising for GCSEs and dealing with everyday life, although the reviews have egged me on so here you go!
Suzie looked back at the boy, who looked as if he was freezing cold, what with him not wearing shoes. She stood a few feet away and waited for him to continue. Once he only stood mere inches away he looked at her wide-eyed, scaring Suzie a little bit. She recoiled away from him very slightly and watched him warily. "Can I help you?" She asked in confusion. Who was this guy? And why was he staring at me like that? And WHY wasn't he wearing shoes!?
"You can see me?" The boy asked in a slow voice as if he was trying to let the news sink in and make it as clear as possible.
"Um… Yeah, you're pretty hard to miss, when you walk around shoeless." She replied in confusion. The stranger's eyes widened and he went to say something before snapping his mouth shut, somewhat resembling a fish.
"Well it was nice meeting you, but I gotta go! Stuff to do ya'know?" He replied very quickly before running so fast, when he turned the corner, Suzie wasn't sure if his feet were touching the ground. What a strange boy… Suzie thought. When she turned around she went off to search for her friends.
Several minutes later, she found her four friends, Cassie, Jenny, James and Michael, all sitting comfortably on a bench, Michael's lanky form held Jenny tightly as they chatted idly with Cassie and James, James was a well-built boy, with sandy brown hair and brown eyes hidden by round glasses, who once was a member of the orphanage, although he was adopted about four years back. James had soon after that met Cassie and since then they'd been inseparable from one another and had been in a relationship for a year and a half. Suzie gulped as she looked over at the two young couples, once again alone. Cassie very quickly peeled away from James to give Suzie a quick hug and pull her onto the small bench.
"Suzie! What took you so long?" Jenny asked in a whiny voice and pouting at the short red-head. Michael grinned at her and pecked her cheek for being so 'Adowable!' Apparently, in their relationship, real words didn't matter.
"Sorry, I bumped into this weird boy." Suzie apologised and fidgeted at the sudden attention she received off of Cassie.
"Ooh! A boy! Was he hot?" She asked very hastily.
"Uh… I don't know? Sort of? I only spoke to him for a minute, and he was like 18 or something, way too old." Suzie muttered.
"Well what did he look like?" Jenny asked.
"Tall; whitish-blonde hair; blue eyes and extremely pale." Suzie said quickly.
"Sounds cute." Cassie grinned.
"Sounds like some sort of poltergeist." James grumbled at the thought of Cassie finding other guys cute disturbing. Cassie laughed happily and shook her long blonde tresses out of her face. She looked up at her boyfriend and pecked him on the lips lovingly.
"Don't worry; no one's as cute as you, James." She giggled and leaned against his chest. Suzie turned towards Jenny and Michael only to see Jenny's long brown locks and Michael's raven-black hair as their faces were hidden in a passionate kiss. All the romance was making her feel sick. Suzie stood up abruptly and turned to Cassie.
"Sorry, I've got to dash," Suzie lied, "Just remembered I promised to help Anna with some shopping." Suzie didn't wait for a reply but just ran home. About half way there she noticed a pair of pale feet hanging over a very tall brick wall. Curiosity got the better of her and she glanced up to see that the boy from before was sat on top of a ten-foot wall.
"How on earth did you get up there!? And what stuff have you got to do up there!?"
