My father loved to look up at the stars, so we already had a telescope set up on the roof. I stepped out of my bedroom window and climed the short ladder to the roof. Repositioning the telescope I was then able to veiw the Town square. Kids from every part of town were gathering in town square, it was obviouse to see that no one else had survived the poof. I decided not to drive to the town square, It would atract to much attention to myself. I hopped on my bike and traveled the mile and a half there. I was only about two blocks away when I started passing kids. To my left I saw a tall guy walking, I then realized it was Nick, the guy I have had a crush on for about a month, we had only talked once before but he was so nice to me, I couldnt help but fall for him. I waved slightley as I passed, he had the cutest smile when he said hello. I got about twenty feet in front of him when it hit me. I Got off and dropped my bike so I could run up to him.
"Your 17!" I yelled as I got closer.
"Yeah, I am," He said, looking confused.
"You are 17 years old..." I said mostly to myself.
"Yes..." He now looked a bit worried.
"Did you see it?" I had to ask. His gaze was no longer locked on me, he seemed to be staring at something to my right that wasnt there. After a few seconds he let out a sigh and noded his head yes.
"Me too." I admitted, After a few seconds of silence I decided it was time to leave.
"Ill see you later," Giving a slight wave good bye I headed back to my bike.
"Molly!" I turned around to see Nick who was waving at me. "Do you want to meet up later?"
"Sure," I said as I smiled like an idiot.
"Meet me at the park in an hour," He said, smiling to.
"Ok, see you then!" I got back on my bike a rode toward town square still with a smile on my face.
