Chapter 10
Mathew
Sentence(s) of the chapter- "Lilly look out!" I yelled, lunging forward.
It made my blood boil when I heard the thing Dalian had done. Lil explained it all. The name calling, the insults, even the occasional push to the floor. I wanted to kill him, but I told Lil that I wouldn't touch him. I've only known this girl for 2 days, and I feel a kind of pull towards her. We're complete opposites. I wear all black and basically represent darkness, where she is colorful and sunny.
"What are you in deep thought about," she said, looking to me. We were at her house, just talking. We didn't have to pick her brothers up for another hour because they both are in the schools chess club. I sat against the wall while she was upside down on the couch. Her blond hair reached the floor, the light colored wisps untangled together.
"Nothin. What're you doing over there," I said. She, ungracefully, rolled off the couch, landing on the floor.
"Bad idea," she said. She stood up and say in front of me. "So, do you like to read?" She asked curiously.
"I guess. Has to be a good book."
"What do you like to do for fun," she asked. I thought about it.
"I don't really know. I don't usually have free time, so I don't know what to do for fun," I said. She scrunched her eyebrows together, making her look like she was thinking hard.
"What do you like to do in your free time," I asked, curious for her answer.
"I draw, or read. I love them both," she said, shrugging.
"Do you draw?" I asked.
"I like to paint with water colors," she said.
"Can I see some?" I asked, curious to see what she can do. She nodded and got up, walking to another room. She came back seconds later with a book. It had a plain black cover, but when she opened it up, it became a rainbow.
The first painting was of a man and a little girl, who I assumed was his daughter, on a swing at the park. It looked so real, like a photograph. The next one was a landscape of a pong with flowers in it.
"Lil, these are amazing!" I said, looking through them. There were so many, and they were all very good.
"Thanks. I could do better but I just don't know how," she said.
"Have you ever thought about selling your art or entering contests?" I asked, looking up to her momentarily before looking back down to the album.
"There not good enough to sell, but no, I haven't thought about entering them into contests." She said.
"Well you'd win. These are really good." I said. I looked through them all and handed it back to her. She set it aside and looked at her clock.
She grabbed a coat and slipped it on.
"What're you doing?" I asked.
"I'm going to pick up Tim and Brandon. I always walk there though, even if I have a car. Coming?" She asked, pulling on her Uggs and a beanie. I got up and put on my converse and my jacket. I opened the door for her and closed it behind me.
We walked down the street in silence. Comfortable silence though. I stared at my shoes, occasionally glancing up to make sure I don't get hit by a car.
"So, I want to hear about your friends, what're they like?" She asked, turning to look at me as we walked.
"There total idiots. There's Carter Reynolds. He's our nerd of the group. Like, the little brother none of us can beat on cause he.... cause he's him. Then there's Aaron Rhodes, but I call him A-A-Ron. It gets on his nerves. He's the oldest, but he was held back a grade. They both do stupid things.
Carter got his tongue stuck on a cold light pole that was in town, and he couldn't get it off. Aaron says the stupid's, dirtiest things sometimes, that I have to leave the room. There like brothers. You should meet them tomorrow. You can sit with us at lunch. Oh my god, I jut sounded like I was in 5th grade. You can sit with us at lunch...." I said, chuckling.
"They sounds amazing. I want to meet them." She said, smiling wide. "There's the school," she said, looking left of me. I turned and she was right, there it was. She started crossing the street, me behind her. I looked both ways when she didn't however, and saw something that was very wrong.
"Lilly look out!" I yelled, lunging forward.
Yes, cliff hanger. Deal with it Sarah. Sorry, Sarah is my friend who has threatened me many ways when I leave cliff hangers. This ones for you Smballif22 byeeeee
