While he was talking to us he hadn’t
really focused on my face, which was good I guess, because it
meant that I blended into the crowd. But when he saw my face,
he stopped dead in his tracks. His jaw dropped, and he shook
his head like he couldn’t believe that I was standing
right there in front of him.
Vicky, who had become strangely hostile since the unknown guy
came up to talk to us, put her hands on her hips and snapped at
him, “Yes, yes, we know, she’s beautiful. Stop
staring, you’re making her
self-conscious.”
He looked at Vicky, then at me again. I couldn’t help but
blush.
“Ch-Charlotte,” he stuttered. “Is that
you?”
I raised my eyebrows a bit when I answered “Do I know
you?”
Of course I didn’t know him; I didn’t know anybody
here except Vicky and Amie. Everybody here was a stranger to
me. But apparently I wasn’t a stranger to some
people.
He seemed hurt by my response. “You don’t recognise
me, do you?”
“No, I’m new here. I don’t know
anyone.” I stared at him. For the life of me I could not
place his face, even though something in the back of my brain
was nagging at me. Did I know this boy? No, of course not. I
lived in the middle of a forest with my father. No one else.
But nothing could excuse the fact that he knew my name.
Maybe he had overheard Amie or Vicky ? I asked
myself. But the nagging wouldn’t go away, and before I
could ask him how he knew my name Vicky linked her arm in mine,
snapping me out of my own little world.
“If you’ll excuse us Dominic, we have to get this
young lady a timetable of her classes.” She announced,
starting to drag me away towards the office.
The boy, Dominic, finally looked away from my face. “Oh,
okay… It was good talking to you Victoria,” he
added sarcastically, before taking one last look at my face and
jogged back over to his group of friends.
“Pfft, what was all that about?” Amie muttered.
“Do you know him Charlie?”
And then it hit me. If Dominic had heard Vicky or Amie saying
my name, they always call me Charlie, not Charlotte. This boy
knew me, and I was going to find out
how.
Heeey everyone!
Biiiit of a boring one ...
Don't like it? Write your own story then. But if you steal
my idea then I'll come to your house in the middle of the
night and cut your foot off.
