I Will Be Your Guardian Angel
 Chapter One

 So, my name is Amanda. I am 15 and I now live in Maine. It's nice and all. It just isn't L.A. I have red hair and bright green eyes that turn dark and icy when I'm cold. I don't really get it, but I stopped fightig it because my mothers' eyes did the same thing. I'm not the tallest. I'm actually pretty short. When I was 13, my mother passed away. She suffered from cancer. They found it to late and it just spread everywhere. She died two months later. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. All I have left is the locket she gave me and a few pictures of the two of us. I grabbed my phone, northface, and put on my uggs.
"Dad, I'm going for a walk!" I said opening the door.
I glanced back at him and he looked up from his newspaper and over to the clock.
It was 5:30pm. "Okay. Just be home around 7:00 please." He said looking up at me.
"I will." And with that, I grabbed my key and headed out the door. The air was so cold.
I bunched up and started to shiver. When I finally made it down the long driveway, my nose was bright red and my face was ice cold. I turned down the street and continued my walk.
"Hey Amanda!" Someone called. I quickly turned around only to find Brad.
Brad was a good guy. I just wouldn't say we were friends. He is in all my A.P classes and he is really smart. Before you start guessing, he is not a popular guy, he isnt any captain of a team. He is just a classic case of a nice guy. Brad had brown hair, brown eyes, and braces. He was sorta cute I guess. I mean, he had girls after him. But he never really wanted any of them. He just likes them as friends. I used to think he was gay. I got excited about htta cause maybe, I would have a friend who had something people thought was wrong, but didn't matter at all. Turns out, he is straight. He is only gaurded because a girl broke his heart. After a year and 6 months, he found out, she cheated on him for a whole year and 2 months.
"Where you goin'?" He asked looking as cold as I was.
"Just going for a walk. People just being classic beotches again." Brad laughed.
I hate swaring. Brad does'nt think it's normal for someone my age not to sware. He says it's not healthy and that eventually, all this anger will just come out and it won't be a pretty sight.  I laughed back.
"Well, mind if I join you? I have nothing else to do. And..."
he stopped and turned to me with his hands in his pockets.
"I'm a great listener!" he smiled.
I laughed. I could'nt help it. "It's a long story!"I said, unsure if he was able to handle all I had on my mind.
"Well, i have all day, 20 dollars, and, a nice long walk in between here and the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Bring it on!" He did that weird half smile again. But I figured, why not let it out to someone who is reaching out to me. So for the first time in two years, I decided, why not.
I started to talk. I let everything out. It felt pretty good. But I knew that sadly, this would'nt last.
When I had let everything out, I took a deep breath. Brad just looked at me with his big eyes. "Wow!"
Was all he said. I nodded. "I know. a lot." i said.
"Well, the fact that you held all that in, that just  shows me you could be pretty strong."
I laughed. We walked into Dunkin' Donuts laughing slightly.
We got in line. I got a medium hot chocolate with whipped cream and he got a chocolate milk and a doughnut. We sat down at a table in the corner byt the window.
I looked outside and it started to snow. I took a deep breath. I missed the warm.
I looked back at brad. But he was already looking at me. Even after I looked at him, he didn't look away.
So I started to make crazy faces. He laughed then so did I,
We finished our little snak and started to walk back. It was still snowing and I was still cold!
Knowing me, I am not the brightest, so I was'nt watching where I was walking and slid on a ptch of ice. I landed right on my butt. Brad ran to catch up with me, being carefull on the ice. I was laughing so hard. 'Only me.' I thought to myslef. When Brad realised I was laughing, he started to too. He helped me up and i whipped the snow off of my butt. He hugged me and said "I thoguht you were hurt!" I just kep laughing.
Maybe having one more friend would'nt hurt..
