Chapter 3
300 Words
We are walking down the hallway to my first class and he stops in the middle of the hallway and turns to look at me. He is giving me this weird look and I don't know why.
Staph: what do I have something on my face?
Henry: What? No, it's just I feel like I have seen you before.
Steph: That's highly unlikely I lived in Wisconsin before I lived here.
Henry: Ohh ok are you sure you like never visited before or anything?
Steph: Only when I was really little but um my mom and dad didn't really get along too well.
Henry: Then why are you here now? I mean if they don't get along?
Steph: Oh um well my dad passed away and I had nowhere else to go so here I am.
I start to tear up but I cover my face with my hair so no one would be able to tell if they were just briefly looking at me or walking past.
Henry: Oh I am so sorry that I even asked.
Steph: no it's ok you didn't know.
We keep walking and I realize that he didn't say he was sorry for my loss which is refreshing. I am so used to people saying it, it feels good to not have to have that little conversation where I say it's fine but it's really not and plus I don't want his pitty. I look over at him, he is really cute and he seems to be smart. He looked over at me catching me and I look away blushing.
Henry: Do I have something on my face?
Steph: Oh no sorry it's just you really cute.
He looked a little shocked that I had said that.
Henry: Well kinds thank you I guess
