Chapter 5

Back to Bellinda's Prov:

It wasn't long after I started skating that it felt like someone was following me. So, I sped up, hoping to get away. But that didn't work. I didn't want to turn back to see anyone there. So I slowed down, got off my board, and walked on the side walk. After 5 minutes passed, I looked back, but no one was there. Weird… So I kept walking till I got to Taco Bell. I could see it in the distance. So I got back on my board and skated the rest of the way there. Gosh! It still feels like someone is stalking me! I got to Taco Bell and stopped at the door and did a quick turn. Again, no one was there.

I walked into Taco Bell and ordered a Crunch Wrap Supreme with no cottage cheese. It just doesn't taste good with it. Then I ordered 2 chicken burritos without the sauce in it. Again, I don't like it. While I waited for my order, I got some pop. My food was done. So I grabbed it and when I turned around, I bumped into that kid again. Wtf is up with this guy! I mean, really! Is he stalking me or something!? I glared at him then left to go and sit down at a table.

I was eating my Crunch Wrap Supreme when he came and sat down with me. I stopped eating, putting my food down. I crossed my arms and glared. He just looked at me. "Can I help you?" I asked getting annoyed. He just looked at me and kept eating. I puffed out a breath in annoyance, grabbed my food and put it in a bag. Then grabbed my pop and board and left, eating my Crunch Wrap Supreme on the way.

I was skating around town. I had already finished my food with just one chicken burrito left. I came across a park, so I stopped. I walked around the park a bit, looking at everything. Then I went to the swings, and just sat there for a bit.

Seth's Prov:

She left me sitting there. I wanted to say I was sorry for being such a jerk. I just got nervous around her and either acted mean or stupid. After she went out the door, I got my stuff packed up and skated a bit behind her. Wow do I ever feel like a stalker. She got a little further and then she stopped. I stopped right where I was. She started to walk somewhere. I got a little closer and say her walk around the park. Then she went to the swings and just sat there. I got up enough courage and started to walk over to her. All I want to do it get to know her.

Back to Bellinda's Prov:

I sat at the swing. I still feel like I'm being followed! I am really starting to hate this place! I had to leave my all my friend's and I'll probably never see them again. My grandparents who I loved very much. I loved it in Florida, and now I'm here, in crappy New York, getting followed and yelled at by that boy. Ugh! I just want to leave.

I sat up straight and still. I heard a twig break. I turned around and seen that it was him. What does he want now!? I glare at him and turn back around. I get up and grab my bag and skateboard, about to leave. Then I turn around and he's standing right there. "What do you want now!? Are you stalking me or something?! Just leave me alone! It's bad enough that you live next to me!" I yelled. He looked hurt. Ugh! I put my skateboard and bag back down and sit on the swing. "Ok, let's hear it. What are you doing following me? What is it you have to say?"

He just stands there, looking at me. He is getting really annoying. "Well? If you have nothing to say, then I'm leaving." I start to get up and get my stuff. I stand there waiting. Nothing, still. "See ya." I say. I start to walk away and just as I'm almost to the road I hear…"Wait! Don't go, please!" Ah, he speaks. I turn around and sit on the grass, setting my stuff next to me. I pat the area in front of me and he sits down.

"Well, what is it?" I ask. "I...I'm sorry…" He whispers. "Come again? You need to speak up." "I said I am sorry." He says louder. "Is that it? Is that all you have to say? You have been following me around all day since I flipped you off and all you have to say is that you're sorry?" Well, if that's all he has to say, then I'm leaving. I start to get up but- "No, wait! I have more to say…" So I sit back down and wait for him to speak.

After about 5 minutes, he finally says something. "I'm sorry for being a jerk before. I just got really nervous and I either say something mean or nothing at all. I felt like a total ass after the first time we met. Then the second time, I felt like an idiot because I didn't say anything or help you with your cds'. Then you flipped me off and I felt bad and I just wanted to apologize and get to know you better."

Wow, so that's what he had to say. "Oh. Well um, it's getting late, I should go." Just as he started to say something, I interrupted and said, "But you can walk me home. And we can hangout tomorrow if you want. Seeing how you want to get to know me better." He smiled and said, "That sounds good to me. Shall we go then?" He asked. I nodded and got my stuff.

It was 7 by the time I got home. We talked a bit about why I moved out here and how long he has been here. He told me his name is Seth and I told him mine. We actually walked the whole way back home. And we were quite a bit away from the house. We also stopped at Taco Bell again and got some food. We stopped in front of my house and we said goodnight. Then he went to his house and I went to mine. My mom wanted to know about my day, so I told her all about it. Then I went up stairs to my room and got ready for bed. I made sure that my balcony door was locked and I seen Seth, waved, then I went to bed and fell into a peaceful sleep.
