smile for me ♥ Chapter Two ♥ "It's okay," the incredible voice chuckled. Ally looked up, half expecting to see some gorgeous - beyond - belief movie star. "Hi," Ally said softly. The boy standing in front of her was much, much better than a movie star. "Hey," he said, grinning widely. Ally's heart momentarily stopped beating. Her mind ran over all the little details that completed him. He was tall, at least compared to Alissa's height of 5'2. He was maybe around 5'8, if not taller. His hair was dark brown, soft and messy. Her hands longed to touch it. His eyes were a darker brown, and as she looked into them her breath caught. To her, it would have been humanly impossible to have more beautiful eyes. They were perfect, crinkled up as he smiled, dancing and sparkling. Suddenly, they weren't dancing, but they became hard and worried. "Hello?" he waved his hands in front of her, "Are you okay?" "What?" Ally jumped back, surprised by the pair of hands so close to her face. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," he said, his eyes still slightly worried. "Oh. No, its okay," Ally was at a loss for words. Was he really talking to her or was she just imagining it? He couldn't really be worried about her.. "You okay?" he repeated. "Yeah, I'm sorry," Ally didn't know what she was sorry for but it seemed right to say. "Um," the gorgeous stranger didn't seem to know either, "No problem. I'm Ryan, by the way." Ally shook his outstretched hand, then answered, "I'm Alissa. Ally." He smiled, and once again Ally forgot where she was. "Nice name. Are you new here?" "Thanks. And yeah," Ally smiled, what she hoped was a warm smile. He smiled back, and Ally felt annoyed for a second that she couldn't stun him, the way he could stun her. "Thats cool. It's really nice here, once you get used to how small the town is. Where'd you move from?" Ryan asked curiously. "Orlando," Ally answered quicky, feeling slightly anxious. She didn't particularly like talking about her past, no matter how recent it was. He looked a little taken aback by how quickly Ally answered, but continued their conversation nontheless. "You moved from Florida to Oregon? Why?" Alissa's face crumpled, and she immediately tried to replace it with a passive expression. This was the question she had been dreading. Her usual answer was a half-truth, no one outside of herself and her mother knew. But she still didn't want to visit those memories. Ryan noticed her sudden change of mood, and quickly said, "No - I mean, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I didn't kn-" But Ally interupted him, "No, its okay. My parents got divorced. Thats all." Ryan, however, didn't fall for it. And for some reason, Ally didn't mind, but she felt grateful. In the two minutes they had met, she felt more comfortable around him then anyone she had ever met. She was almost glad that he saw through her facade. "Ally, are you okay?" He asked, his voice colored with concern. "Yeah, fine," she tried to make her voice as believable as possible, but quite possibly, failed. "Really, what's wrong?" Ryan asked gently. Ally's heart soared, then fell. Here, standing in front of her was a boy who actually cared, and she couldn't tell him the truth. "Nothing, Ryan, really. I'm just overly sensitive," Ally finished with a smile. "Really?" he asked, doubtfully. "Really," Ally reassured him. "Promise?" he asked. Ally simply nodded, not wanting to venture down a road of broken promises. "Hey, so when does the bus get here then?" Ally's voice was carefully casual as she changed the subject, not even bothering with subtlety. "Five more minutes, I think," Ryan answered, an eyebrow raised. "What!? But I got a letter saying that 'the bus comes at 7:25' and I had to be at the bus stop at '7:20 sharp'. It's got to be almost 7:40 by now," Ally said, almost angrily. She would never mind a few extra minutes with Ryan, who luckily was the only other person at this stop, but Ally did not appreciate 'false advertising', for lack of a better phrase. Ryan laughed, a heavenly sound,"Yeah right. We're lucky if she gets here by 7:45!" Ally laughed for a moment, thinking. "But then why are you here so early?" Ryan stopped laughing, and a short silence fell between them before he smiled and hastily said, "I've got a little brother. Damn annoying. I don't mind being away from him." Ally nodded, clearly not believing him, but since he let her problem drop eventually, she gave him the same freedom. After a minute or so, the big yellow school bus could finally be seen coming down the road, toward them. Ryan flashed her a smile, the sparkle was back in his eyes. "Sit by me?" he said, hopeful. The question ran through Alissa's head at least ten times before she understood. She grinned, her heart beating rapidly. * authors note * so what did you think? sorry if it bored you. i tried (: i'm duckysayssmle, by the way, but this is my newly made story account:) Comments & Faves are seriously appreciated :) Iloveyoubeautiful ♥
