Chapter 2 - Terrance

As me and Kurtis (he had told me his name earlier), walk on the sidewalk to the beach, we chat about our hobbies; skateboarding, and all different kinds of art. I catch myself gazing into his pale blue-green eyes. I couldn't help but acknowledge how beautiful they were. Suddenly, Kurtis is interrupted by a call. "Hey! Kurtis! Over here!" He spun around to greet his friends.

"Who are they?" I lean over to see.

"Oh, they're my friends I was talking about before, remember?"

"Right." I totally didn't remember. I was too distracted by Kurtis' majestic eyes.

I returned home after a fun night of skateboarding on the beach with Kurtis and his friends. I collapse on my bed in exhaustion, and glance over at the mound of trinkets and pretty rocks on my desk, all things I had scavenged from the local beach. I wondered what to do with them, but before I could think of anything, I was interrupted by the chirp of a notification. I fish my phone out of my pocket and realize that the bright screen showcased a text, from who? Kurtis. We had exchanged numbers at the beach, I remembered.

Wanna paint rocks with me tmrw?

OMG yes that sounds so fun!

Ok see u then 🙂

I smile at my phone. I walk over to my pile of trinkets, and pick out the prettiest rocks there. I drop them into my bag and decide to prepare an outfit.

I must have been changing in and out of clothes for hours. I just couldn't decide on an outfit. No shirt, or pair of pants looked good enough. I rumble through my drawers, throwing clothes everywhere, searching for the perfect outfit. I was worried I would overdress, so I ended up settling on a casual unbuttoned striped shirt with a white T-shirt underneath, and a pair of two-toned jeans. I leave the clothes folded on my dresser and collapse back onto my bed. Before I know it, I'm asleep.
