Chapter 2 - C.2

───⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───

I really couldn't not analyse what was happening,It was 1 week ago that sycamore was cut,since that Julie has not talked to me,I don't care honestly, it's better like this,I wish she just stopped talking to me,but she not only ignored me,but every one and anyone I can name!Julie missed a lot of days at school in this week,but she attended some,handed assignments and wrote exams,she participated in school's science fair presentation,and Mrs.Bentley gave her this stupid chicken project,I bet she is pissed.

✂️―

She doesn't really show up a lot anywhere, I don't see her much or talk to her a lot,but she's never been this hard to find, NEVER! It's when I need to find her the most,when she is nowhere! Why me anyways?! Could have give it to Darla,she is her best friend, she could easily give her these stupid papers,gosh!

I saw Darla in library where they usually do their homework before another lesson,I approached her

-Hey,Darla?Darla??

She raised her head from table 

-Bryce?What is it?

-It's umm, nothing,but do you know where Julie is?

Darla looked at me, surprised ,then squinted her eyes and said

-I am not sure,we haven't talked a lot recently, she's upset,but I saw her in backyard last time,she was talking to someone,but I couldn't recognise him

-Thanks

-It's alright,tell her I am in library if she needs anything,well after talking to you obviously 

she rolled her eyes and went back to studying 

-Hmm

what does she mean she could not recognise him?Who was she talking to?I might not be close with Julie Baker,but she's followed me by my side ANYWHERE,and I am pretty sure we know mostly same people,but with Darla,they are BEST FRIENDS,she obviously knows every other friend of Julie,come on, it's Julie Baker and Darla after all

Who could she be talking to anyways?and male? Is he friend?Or stranger?Julie hasn't recently talked a lot with anyone,is she talking to him with her intention,or his?Is he someone from our school?Is he older or younger???Who is he anyways??

I walked with more pace in my legs as I was lost in thoughts of who he could be

It's not like oI care,but if I realise who he is,it might become easier for me to find missing Miss!

Gosh,Julie Baker!

You are the last headache I'd ever want!

Because you are the most painful one I've ever had!

I reached backdoor and quickly opened it with my right hand, taking the papers from right to left hand,I went to backyard,and there was the missing Miss.

She was wearing a skirt today.

It was sunny day,it was not cold,but she was wearing an orange jacket on her yellow one-piece jacket.

Her hair was in twin braids,the sun shined beautifully on it, because her hair was red and brown,or some kind of color I could not name,but it was pretty,it was the prettiest hair color I'd ever seen!

I tripped over something 

It was football ball kids were playing in yard

it was lunch time,so obviously it longer interval than other ones,and I already wasted most of it!

Ugh!

I kicked the ball back at students 

what was I thinking about anyways?

Julie Baker? Having the prettiest hair ?No way,Julie Baker is the Julie Baker,and she has ugliest,messist hair ever!

There she was, talking to someone,he was tall,and he looked older than us,she was holding a box in her hands,it had open head,but I couldn't see properly,I couldn't see or listen what she was holding or laughing about,I hope,she would stay with it,but I didn't know that I also hoped,that smile would stay dedicated to me,at that time I didn't know that yet.

I reached Julie Baker,and someone else,when I reached them,I finally knew what she was holding,a box full of chicken eggs, where did she get them from?At school?

I was 9-12 feet away from her when I heard her giggle 

Was this the right time to approach?

she seems busy

....

Busy doing what? Flirting?With SOME one!

I'd bet anyone in the world she met him if not less than,more than four days ago!

I walked to her

What will I say to her?How am I supposed to talk to her

come on,Bryce, It's not like you are just randomly walking up to her,Mrs.Bentley asked you to hand her these stupid papers!

I stood beside her, and looked at her,I was about to utter a word,I was about to!

Damn it Bryce Loski

What even is wrong with me today?!?

I stood to her,next to her side,she turned around and the smile disappeared,it was not there anymore when she was now looking at me,the smile I longed for the only week in my life,the smile that was on her lips just a second ago,a smile that happy giggle formed,that giggle,that this Mr.Eggs caused!He really is an egg!What is he doing here?With her?What does he want?Who even is he?! 

She looked at me with her bright greyish-brown eyes, anything this girl did, anything this girl had, anything this girl said, anything this girl thought, never had a color,a specific color, anything had to be colorful, not just one, she didn't get satisfied with it she gave more than one, one specific color,and I noticed that just now.

I think I like Jul-

-Bryce??Hey,snap out of it

She,snapped two fingers near my face.

It was she,SHE snapped me out of thoughts of HER!

-Bryce!

-Oh,umm so yeah?

-What do you mean yeah,what is it?You just came?You are the one who came here?What do you want?

-Me?what do you mean me-? Yes, that's right,I came here! With my own feet!So what's your problem ? Can't I stand here!? It's not like you two own this place or something!

I snapped out when I saw her roll her eyes at me,SHE rolled HER eyes at ME!Why me?Why not this ugly looking duck goose Hi-would-you-like-to-eat-some-eggs-for-a-month-straight looking guy!?

Instead she laughs with him,not AT him!

-I guess!

She looked at the tall Mr.egg,and turned around 

WHY DID SHE TURN AROUND??

IS SHE LEAVING!?

I didn't mean to tell her to leave!

I absolutely forgot about the papers!

-Wait!Julie!I am here because-

She turned her body 45° around,and shined her bright but yet dark, greyish-brown eyes at me!

They looked fabulous,I could look into them forever,and after forever.

and then.....she was hit by a ball

I didn't realise what happened,I was still thinking about her eyes when they closed as ball hit her from behind,and boom!

The box fell! But who cared about the eggs,all that mattered was that now,in front of me, unconscious Julie Baker was lying,I let the papers go,and didn't care where they would go,the breeze,which was hard enough to move Julie's messy strings,that had fallen from her messy braids,was not hard enough to move the papers,who just got wet and glued by broken eggs.

---🎀---

When working on project Mrs.Bentley gave me,I had to buy some...chickens...and I BEGGED my mother to leave them, and after hours of doing so,I succeed!

And not just that,with how successful my project was in Mrs.Bentley's eyes,she asked me to do something else.

And William Browns turned out to be my sudden hero,and here I was, taking box full of chicken eggs  away from guy I just met,just four days ago!

✂️―

Is this Bryce Loski standing next to me?

After a week,this was the first time we were standing face to face to each other,and Bryce,who would not stutter a second to say something,to come up with something that would get him away from me,was now stuttering like a newborn baby trying to speak

I snapped a finger at his face, confused ,I asked

-Bryce??Hey,snap out of it

He looked at me like I just gave him a whole new name

-Bryce!

-Oh,umm so yeah?

What's wrong with him???

-What do you mean yeah,what is it?You just came?You are the one who came here?What do you want?

-Me?what do you mean me-? Yes, that's right,I came here! With my own feet!So what's your problem ? Can't I stand here!? It's not like you two own this place or something

 

I rolled my eyes at him,and turned around 

-I guess!

while the box was still in my hands,me and William turned around to leave

What's wrong with Bryce Loski today?!

He is so weird

It was almost time I was moving on from him,and I still know,that there still is a feeling that grew over five years 

And then I heard a voice 

I turned around to him,and then everything went black

Nope, that's what they say in books I've read and films I've watched 

But nothing ever went black for me

I fell,and felt eggs breaking on me

I also heard Bryce's gasp

Last thing I saw was blonde Bryce, looking down at me with dark blue eyes, wearing light green checkered shirt,and grey sweater like jacket,that was open atbhis chest,which revealed his shirt 

and the colors mixing was the last thing I saw.
