Despite Dad's command, I couldn't stop hanging out with Fresh. Mainly just because he was always hanging out with Ava and Joseph... One day, I did manage to split from the three... but to be honest, Fresh sometimes weirded me out. I caught him just staring at me once, and his sunglasses were blank... when I asked him what was up, he just said "nothing" and went back to whatever he was doing. Still creeps me out to this day... I caught him doing it a few more times, and one day, I couldn't help but ask in small panic, "Can you stop?!" He just blinked and tilted his head.
"Stop what?" He'd asked.
"Stop staring at me like that!! It's creepy!" I exclaimed through small glitches. He'd just shrugged and nodded before going back to his work.
Today, I was back in the library, reading books for English and taking notes for a project, when the boy from before came and sat across from me. I didn't pay much attention, silently screaming in my head as I worked.
"Hey there." He greeted with a grin. I looked up from my notes to find soft red eyes looking into my own. He had short curly ginger hair, and pale white skin. He also had a small scar over his right eye. I tried to act casual and calm.
"H-Hi." ....DAMMIT--
"My name's Heart." He smiled, "What's yours?"
"Um... Eric..." I glanced away shyly, hoping and praying that I wasn't blushing again.
"Nice to meet you, Eric." He smiled, "Y'know... I think I saw you once before." He said, catching my interest as I looked back at him.
"R-Really?"
"Yeah. I can't put WHERE, though..." He stared at me for a few seconds -- what is it with people and staring at me??? -- before grinning again. "Do you come to the library often?"
"Y-Yes." I nodded.
"That's probably where then." He chuckled. I forced out a nervous chuckle as well.
"Probably..." My phone suddenly buzzed as I looked.
OH SHIT, FIVE PM!!
"Be home by five."
"I-I gotta go!" I exclaimed as I got my bag and ran, leaving Heart to see me run out glitching in panic.
Heart watched as Eric ran, then quietly pulled out his phone.
Chatting with: 80's and Multicolor
♥︎Cupid♥︎: I saw him today. Library. He ran off before I could get into casual conversation.
80's: Doesn't he look familiar???
Heart paused, looking at the response. Then, he remembered something... a poster he'd seen around a few weeks ago... tossed in the garbage.
Have you seen this child?
♥︎Cupid♥︎: I think I know why.
