Marone Gilroid

I had to run an errand for my mom and dad. Always some medicine they need for a patient or new remedies.

Only if something exciting would just happen

I walk into a new store this time. Exact place my parents sent me. I bought and was out as fast as I could. Eventually too fast cause i ran into a guy on my way out.

"Sorry I am just in a hurry."

I then look up to see a boy with straight, nice, black hair that went to his neck. His blue eyes glimmered in the sun. He had a little bit of acne but otherwise he was handsome.

EXCITING!!!!!!!!!

Joshua Colquhoun

It's a rather uneventful day for me. I'm just heading to my usual pharmacy, in order to trade some herbs. It's how I make money. Selling herbs I grow in my garden, making some into medicines, and foraging for them in the woods. My livelihood currently revolves around plants.

As I walk into the pharmacy, I bump into a young, well-dressed girl, about 14, coming out of it. She apologises, but begins to stare at me. I feel slightly uncomfortable with this.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it... Is something wrong? Do I have something on my face?"

"No nothing on your face. And no nothing is wrong." I still stare for a bit when i noticed some herbs.

"So you work with plants?" Which he probably does. Lots of people around here do.

I look around some more and find the medical supplies I was supposed to bring. One was broken and I didn't bring more money.

Great! Things got good, but just got bad!

I hope he doesn't see the look on my face. He will now something is wrong. Maybe he would think badly of me. A handsome boy like him is every girls dream.

She keeps looking at me, despite there being nothing wrong, and her eyes fall on my herbs. "Yes, sort of. I grow my own, sell them to pharmacists, and I can even make my own simple medicines." She examines her own goods, and a frown crosses her pretty face. "Are you ok, miss?"

"Not really" I say looking at him with desperate eyes. I like the fact that he works with herbs and medicine. He seems a bit like me when i want to get older. Maybe he could help me though. I look down at my supplies hoping he might notice. But I just catch myself looking at his eyes again. A smile comes across my face and just him is making me happy.

She's still looking at me, and a slight blush creeps onto her face. I'm... not used to this. Either she's a good actress who wants something from me, or she's infatuated. I'm guessing the first. Still, I'm not one to not help a lady out when she needs it.

"Is there something I can help you with, miss?"

"Sorry. Umm No i think I will be fine thanks." I grab the materials. And start to walk past him. Why? He is my dream guy and I am leaving him? Maybe I should go back. But instead I keep walking. I come to a halt. I never introduced myself. I look to see if he is still there. Nope. He must be in the pharmacy. I walk back and when I see him I can't help but look into his eyes.

"Umm I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Marone."

I push my hand out hoping he would also introduce himself.

The girl leaves, saying she needs nothing, and I head inside. "Morning, Bob. Here's the saffron and sage you wanted." The man behind the counter hands over some money in return, and I allow him to keep the basket. Why not...

"Thanks, Joshua. Next time, can you throw some red lavender my way too? I'm experimenting."

"Can do, sir." I turn to leave, and bump straight into the girl from before. Eh? This is getting more bizarre. She extends a hand, and introduces herself as Marone.

"I'm Joshua. Please to meet you, Marone. That's a pretty name."

"Thanks" I say in return.

"Joshua is a nice name too" I look at him for a bit longer. Then before I can stop myself, I blurt out

"I like you. I just can't stop staring at your wonderful eyes. And your personality is one of a kind!"

Did I just say that? I look up at him blushing. I turn around and head for the door. I walk out and sit on a bench close to the pharmacy. I am too embarrassed to do anything. now, so I just sit.

Why Marone, Why?

I stand there blinking for a few seconds. What the hell just happened? I'm skeptical. How can she feel I have a good personality? We just met, not even five minutes ago... Still, when she runs off, I feel bad for her. She's obviously very embarrassed about it, not even waiting for my response...

I go after Marone. Fortunately, she's not difficult to track. She only made it to a bench on the opposite side of the road. She seems very upset, her face in her hands... "Marone? Are you alright?"

I look up at Joshua. He probably thinks I am psycho. Now he will never see anything in me.

"No" I say in a soft voice.

I wish Dera were here. She would be great help in this situation. I also needed to get back to the office. My parents have to be worried right now. Only if he understood how much I like him.

"Do you believe love at first site?"

And now I feel like a freak.

I sit down next to Marone, and she asks me if I believe in love at first sight. Honesty is the best policy here. "No, I don't. I've always believed you need to get to know a person more before you can say you love them. However... I do believe in infatuation at first sight. And something about you intrigues me..."

I blush a bit when he answers. He answered honestly and that just makes him more attractive. I don't know how to respond so I just sit there. I do not know what to do. Any time now my parents will probably make their way into the square and see Joshua sitting by me. I wouldn't care but they might get the wrong idea. Maybe Joshua knows my thoughts just by looking at my face cause I defiantly show it.

"Uhh... I think I have to go now.'

I get up and walk a few feet. I take a look back at Joshua and smile.

If she walks away, and I go after her again, I look like a stalker. Not a good idea. I lean back, watch her leave, and smile back at her as she does so.

He smiled back and that smile made my day. I walk a few more yards when I realized i forgot the supplies. I stood there, hesitating to move. But when I did I was hoping Joshua didn't take them thinking they were his. Wait! Joshua wouldn't have took en those supplies. In fact he probably is bringing them to me now. But I went back anyway just in case they were still there.
