Left to my Own Little World [Micah]

Tick…Tick…Tick, the clock had been ticking along under the anxious eyes of Micah, Micah took a glance at the board and saw the teacher solving an equation for the notes he was supposed to be taking. For Micah school had become a torture chamber, it wasn’t the fact they had to work and learn, it was the fact that the level of work was just too high.

“..And the answer Micah”

Micah frantically looked to the board for an obvious hint, seeing nothing Micah sighed at cleared his throat, Why me? Micah thought to himself, desperately wishing the bell would ring. I Don—, the bell cut off Micah and the students scattered out of class with Micah hiding in the middle to avoid the teachers disappointed eyes.

Micah kept his brisk walk going so he could reach the exit as fast as possible, Carry a few books but not a heavy load. When Micah was nearing the exit a door swung open nearly hitting Micah, but he swiftly stepped back and sighed as a book dropped. The boy looked up as he bent to get his book to see a slightly older girl retrieve his book first give it back to him, give a barely audible “sorry” and bolt the other way.

Micah froze in his half bent position for a few seconds, the girl he had just examined had caught his attention as he could almost still see her standing there. It’s cool, He replied to himself watching the girl stride down the hall. Way to freeze his scolded himself in his head. Hey, Wait up he yelled at the girl slinging his backpack to his back and attempting to catch up.

OOC: didn't have time to proof read off to school, ):

Micah reached the school doors and opened them to see the girl already crossing the street. Why am I doing this? Micah thought to himself as he set off at a jog to catch up with the girl. When he was even with her he struggled to keep her brisk walking pace. Judging by her body language she wasn’t to excited to talk, he shoulders were faced strait towards the direction she wa going, and she showed no sign of recognizing Micah’s existence. Immediately regretting following the girl. Micah’s legs weren’t following his brain, the vibe coming from this girl was extremely hostile. Micah cleared his throat and began to speak I just wanted to say hi and ask for your name, I don’t think it’s much to ask considering you almost took my head off with that door Micah flashed a smile at the girl for good affect.
If you are in a hurry to get somewhere I’ll just leave, Micah began rambling realizing he was walking farther and farther from his house. Micah’s vision shifted to the girls black hair boucing slightly with every stride she took in her plain combat boots. Being fixated by her flowing black hair took thoughts and regrets away.
Something about the girl kept Micah’s legs moving and stopped his mind from working, maybe it was just that the girl was something new, mysterious and unlike the people he was used to, not eager to see him or talk to him, she was quite the opposite.

I relaxed as the girl shifted towards me and held eye contact for a few moments while speaking, “Sorry about that… The name’s Cecily”, Well Cecily, I hope you aren’t at all offended by me hunting you down like this, I just wanted to talk to you… Not that you would want to talk to me or anything… I facetiously added while looking down at Cecily’s fingers playing with her long hair beautiful hair. Noticing the Cecily relax and give me a smile after her sentence calmed me. Well, I have to start somewhere I told myself in my mind.

I couldn’t keep the feeling out of my brain, that the girl could appear so much more attractive than she at that moment. I listened to Cecily tell me she wasn’t in a hurry and give a little giggle, surprised by the cuteness of the laugh I nodded distractedly. uhh, Cecily my house is kind of in the other direction, so unless you are alright to take a little walk in the park up here I’m probably going to have to turn around pretty soon, My name is Micah by the way. I smiled at the girl trying to make her feel comfortable.

I knew she wasn’t fully comfortable with my presence, but she lost the hostile attitude and gave a little giggle, so I was still unsure of her feelings towards me. I whistled a melody stopping to say we need to turn right here if you want to take a little walk in the park. I motioned across the road. Why am I getting myself into this? I sighed waiting for her answer.

“I’d like that.” I listened to the girl reply to my invitation. Lets go then, I exclaim as I lead the way to the park, glad Cecily decided to accept my invitation.

I watch Cecily fiddle with her hair as we walk, I look into Cecily’s eyes trying to catch her mood, She still seems uncomfortable, I need to get the butterflies out of her stomach, but the butterflies in mine aren’t letting me think straight.
I choose the left path in the fork, avoiding the small gazebo for now, and glance at Cecily keeping a pleasant look on my face. I become lost in my mind, trying to decipher my own thoughts. What about this girl is attracting me so severely I realize the silence between us and pipe in Penny for your thoughts? attempting to start a conversation. I want to know what is on this girls mind, I must have given a good first impression, for she is walking in the park with me, a practical stranger.

“To be completely honest…” I listen to Cecily begin nervous of the words to come. When she was done telling me how strange this was for her I pondered the words in my head. I was mostly just relieved that Cecily is acting how she is because she isn’t used to this type of thing, and NOT because she didn’t like me.
Well, You have to start socializing sometime, I know I’m very happy to be here with you now. To tell you the truth, I’m almost glad you are unsure about being around me, I was nervous it was because you didn’t like me I smiled looking into Cecily’s faces. I haven’t found your company unpleasant by the way. I added trying again to make Cecily comfortable.
Zipping my sweatshirt up in the cold weather I looked into Cecily’s face one more time and said. I have something to show you, Grabbing Cecily by the wrist and leading her through the grass toward the bunch of bushes in the field. This might be a little warmer I added for good measure.
When I got to the bushes I found a hole and ducked into it pulling Cecily behind me, smiling as I looked about the hollowed out bush. I remembered discovering this when I was a kid. It was a little less spacious with two young adults but I didn’t mind the lack of space. It caused me and Cecily to when sitting have our arms just brushing each other.
I found this when I was about 5, more than just being a fun little hideout, it also blocks some wind keeping us warmer I glanced at Cecily waiting for what I was hoping to be a positive reaction.

OOC: So In all my posts they have something to do with my real life, and I actually found a hollowed out bush when I was little coolest thing ever, Plus it’s pretty cute (:

“This is really neat,” Cecily whispered to me while our gazes met causing me to blush slightly and break the gaze. I brush my hand through my hair What else is a good idea to do with a complete stranger who is gorgeous I think to myself cracking a smile. I glance down at my hand and notice Cecily’s long hair brushing my hand.

Leaning slightly towards Cecily I whisper You know I’ve never brought a girl here, much less a complete stranger, you should consider yourself special I smile looking into Cecily’s face waiting for a laugh.

In truth it was the first girl I had ever brought there. I wasn’t quite sure what I was thinking when I brought her, I just wanted our first meeting to be special because something about this girl seemed special.

Thinking back to almost being knocked out by the door Cecily opened I knew I was planning this since we first made eye contact and I stereotypically of a teenage boy checked her out head to toe, after she almost killed me. I lied to myself pretending I didn’t know, knowing all along I was falling for the girl before I even knew her.

“Oh, I certainly do” Cecily tells me. I smile at her and she does the same. She smiles natrually and beautifully. My gaze shifts into hers for a few moments before sliding away again. I start to think about my last relationship, it ended with the girl avoiding me until she finally dumped me. I never asked her what had happened, one day we were together the next we weren’t, I sometimes see her in the the halls at school and I look at her and she looks at me but nothing is said. I shake the thoughts of last time wanting things to be different.

I notice Cecily’s body language relax and I know she is becoming more comfortable with me. As much fun as I am having today, I should probably get you home before it gets dark. I work my way out of the bush and watch Cecily follow. As we begin walking on the path again back toward the entrance of the park, I glance down and see Cecily’s hand inches from mine. I flash back to my previous relationship, this is how the relationship ended walking in the park, only one thing was different. The last time I was with my previous girlfriend we held hands as it got dark. I slide my hand into Cecily’s and interlock our fingers.
