Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning very early because I had to drive to school.

At school, I met Sam and greeted him but he didn't answer me so I chased after him" Hey dude, I was talking to you but you didn't answer" I said placing my hand on his shoulder but he pushed it off" Look it's very simple, I am the worse person to be friends with alright so just let me be" He sadi and walked away.

The rest of the morning was boring until we had lunch break, a girl from my class was sitting alone and I decided to sit close to her because that was the only vacant table left. I sat quietly and peacefully eating my food stealing occasional glances at her until she caught me" Hey, you're the new kid right?" She asked and I nodded" John smith" I said and she smiled" Well, you can call me Sarah Wade" she said and I smiled at her.

We were eating our food but kept stealing slight glances at each other until we were both stuck in each other's eyes" So John, do you have any plans for tonight?" She asked and snapped me out of my haze" Not really, I'm just a kid who hangs with his dad alot" I said and she chuckled" Okay if you don't have any plans, I would like you to come have dinner with me and my family.

My parents always say I don't have friends but I want to prove them wrong" she said and I paused" Seriously, you don't have any friends?" I asked and she just frowned at me" You don't have to be rude about it okay" She said and I laughed" Well I'm no better than you, my only friend is the one sitting right in front of me" I said and she looked down trying to hide her smile" You want me to be your friend?" She asked and I nodded" Why not, I mean it's not everyday I get to bump into a cute girl" I complimented and she smiled" I know you here that alot" I said but she paused and looked at me" Actually I don't" she said with a hint of hurt in her voice" Well, I hereby promise that as long as I remain your friend, I will always tell you how beautiful you are" I said and we both laughed.

Later that evening, I arrived at the front of their house and rang the doorbell" Hey there" Her younger brother Mark said and I shook his hand" John so glad you could make it" Sarah said hugging and I managed to hug her back but it made me feel uncomfortable but also warm and happy" John this is my mom Margaret and my dad Jacob.

Mom, dad, this is John Smith, he's my classmate but also my friend" she said and I smiled at them as we exchanged pleasantries.

After the meal, we ended went up to her room and I saw pictures hunged on ropes all around the room" What exactly do you do?" I asked and she chuckled and showed me a camera set and I realised that she was a photographer" These pictures look amazing though, you're really go at this" I said and she just smiled and sat on her bed.

I found a stool beside the bed and sat opposite her.

I was looking through pictures when I saw a photo album and I picked it up" What's this?" I asked but she just quickly closed it back and tried taking it" Sorry but it's kind of private" she said and I placed my hand on the hand she had on the book" Don't worry" I said and she slowly let go.

I looked through the book and it was pictures of her that she tried avoiding" So you're allowed to take pictures but you don't want people to see your face" I said and she laughed" I'm a photographer, it's my job to take pictures of other people and not myself" she said and I just looked at her smiling" You should be taking pictures of your self more because of every girl I've come across you Sarah are the most beautiful" I said and she just paused looking at me.

We were about to kiss when her brother opened the door and immediately closed it" I'm so sorry, I'll come back" He said and I just stood up and opened the door for him to come in" What did you need?" She asked and he looked at her apologetically" Dad wanted to ask if you could tell John to bring his parents to the carnival this Saturday" he said and I nodded and he ran out of the room" I could tell my dad if he would agree to come" I said and she looked at me confused" What about your mom, she could come" she said but I smiled sadly" Oh my mom's dead" I said and she stood up and looked at me as if she was staring into my soul" I'm so sorry, I didn't know" she said" It's okay, I've gotten over it" I said and she just hugged me.

I got ready to go and Sarah walked me out and hugged me again" Have a goodnight John" she said" You too" I said before releasing myself from the hug.

Man, I really have to get used to her hugs.
