He Changed Me
Chapter 1
It was late in the night,ivy and I were on our way home from the store,it was past seven, when we noticed someone was following us, I looked back, Our eyes met, I turned quickly, Ivy seemed unconcerned busy with her phone.
He said hi ,I thought I was imagining it,but then he said it again,we stopped and turned.
Please,can I speak with your friend
I moved backward and told ivy to be quick,he said no,he wants to speak with me,I was surprised,ivy was too.....I stepped forward and said hi
Hi my name's Zachary, but my friends call me Zac
Nice to meet you,I'm Daphny
Daph, it a pleasure
"Daph kept ringing in my head,only ivy calls me Daph".
