Disappear

Chapter 2.
     
     It was dark the day met Sofia; I remember the clouds hanging low in the sky, obscuring the light of the sun. I had one more final exam for military training that I had to study extra hard for. After this, other than the physical and medical tests of course, I would be completely done with my training, and ready for deployment. It was always my dream to be a soldier. Of course my father's encouragement and slight hints he gave may have sparked my interest to serve for our country.
      I took a break from my "ISS" as we called it. No, not in school suspension, but intense study session. Either way, you were locked up all day with no escape. I invited my friend Joshua to come eat with me to the universty's cafeteria.
    "Hey Jeremy," exclaimed Joshua, "I hope you don't mind but I brought Carissa..." He smiled hopingly.
     "Yeah yeah, whatever." I half heartedly smiled at Carissa.
     "Hey dude," Josh called as the payed for his luch, "speaking of Carissa, why don't you ever bring your girl?"
     Not this again. "Ugh, I already told you, I don't have a girlfriend. I don't need one! I don't want one. I don't enough time for one, anyway."
     "OMG! Let's eat outside!" squealed Carissa, food in hand.
     "Um, have you even looked at the sky? It's like gonna rain any sec..."
     "Woah!" Joshua interrupted. "That sounds like a great idea." he said to Carissa, and eyed me warningly.
     I walked out shaking my head. This is so stupid, I thought. I'm gonna be soaked, my food's gonna be soaked, I'm gonna have to change, that will waste more time, and then I'll never be able to...
     I don't know what it was. Maybe it was something inside me, or maybe it was an angel. But something stopped my complaining, and compelled me to look up. So I did. And there, sitting across the feild, was a girl, about my age, sitting against a tree, vigorously marking up sketchbook that rested in her lap. She was different. Not only because she wasn't wearing a uniform, like every other girl I've seen in the past month has been, but something else. Maybe it was her individuallity, maybeit was her wavy blonde hair, or the pink streak that ran right through it.
     Something made her stand out.
     "Hey, let's sit over there," I suggested, pointing in her direction. Then, as we got closer, she looked up directly at me.
     Just the luster of her green eyes staring through mine seemed to make the sun come out and the clouds disappear.
