Chapter 1
Man, I wish I brought a jacket I thought to myself.
It’s so cold and it’s raining so hard maybe I can call an Uber?
I check my phone in a desperate attempt to try and catch an Uber, but my bank statement says otherwise.
Well, it seems as if I’m going to be walking home today....in the pouring rain.
Why does this always happen to me? Almost as soon as I said that my neighbor Mark approached me. Want a ride? he asked.
I wanted to decline but I figured I was not in a position to anyway, how bad can this be I thought to myself, he’s just my neighbor being nice after all.
His car was a black sedan with the numbers of a birthday on the side. I found it shocking that that’s what my exact birthday is I thought. I wonder if his birthday was on the same day as mine!
Hey Mark, is your birthday on March 12th, 2007, by any chance?
He had a confused look on his face before confirming my sudden accusation.
Yes, actually how’d you know? Well, some people call me psychic, so I just guessed.
On our way home we talked and laughed and got to know each other a bit.
where was he all my life? I thought to myself I just noticed how his face he had been looking away most of the time.
We made eye contact for a minute, and as I stared into his ocean-blue eyes something went off in my head. this is going to be my best friend from now on. I wanted to know so much more about him. I remember we used to know each other at some point.
All i remember is he was cute. The harder I try to think, i come to remember I ran away and we were never the same. I was so happy back then, I wonder what caused me to want to run away from the place i felt the safest at. Now i sleep alone with no friends. I hoped everything would change if we became aqquainted again. I wondered if he remembered me. Although. I hope he dosen't
Can't wait to see how their relationship develops and what other surprises the story holds.
Hiii! What a compelling read :) I like this so far, it is fun and enjoyable and you have a very light narrative which is easy to follow^^ maybe if I can give just a little tinyyy bit of advice, your dialogue will be better with this "" sign, so it will differentiate between narrative and dialogue. but so far you have done a great job! I enjoy it 😄
Their relationship holds some mystery and suspense which will indeed be unfolded in the next chapters! every single line holds within it a meaning and carefully needed to be read so that puzzles don't go missed. Great work 👏
