Chapter Five: How We First Met:

I'm sorry for skipping around so much. There's so much to unpack with this relationship. Please bear with me. The story might go in several detours. But I will try to stay on track. Okay, here is how we met.

I was sitting alone on the school roof. I don't know why she came out to find me. I didn't even know that she existed. To say it just happened would be the most accurate way to describe it.

So, there I was. Spiraling into a disappointing future. I didn't care at the time. Why should I? No one believed in me anyway. But then…

“Hello?”

“Huh?” I looked up to see this doe-eyed girl looking down at me.

“Uh… who are you?”

She smiled and giggled. “I knew I would find you here.”

“Why?”

This weird girl sat down next to me. “I missed you.”

Okay… What the hell was this? I thought I had seen her around from somewhere. I wasn't sure why but I had the feeling that I saw her outside of school. My brain couldn't place where at the time.

“Why?” I asked. She didn't answer me. Her smile made me feel uneasy. Who was this girl? What the hell did she want with me?

“Look, I don't know what your game is.”

“Hm?”

“What the hell do you want?”

She giggled at me. That weird girl sat down next to me. I frowned as I started to see where this was heading. Where did she come from? Why was she even here? (I should pop in here and say that I think we've met before. I don't remember where or when at the moment. Maybe it will come to me as I go along. Now back to the story.)

“What are you doing up here?” she asked. I snorted.

“Why do you care?” I asked.

“Because…”

“Because?”

She shrugged at me. I frowned and looked away. I wasn't going to get rid of her, was I? I felt her eyes on me.

“Nothing,” I muttered.

“Nothing?” that girl asked.

“That's what I said. Now why are you up here?”

“I was looking for you.”

“Why?”

“I just wanted to.”

“Why?”

“I don't know.” I pictured her shrugging her shoulders as she said that. We didn't say a word to each other.

“Go away,” I said.

“No,” that girl said. I whipped my head around. She was smiling at me, but she had a serious look in her eyes. To tell you the truth, I started to get nervous for a second. The woman I looked at her, the more confused and worried. I tried to think of what to say, but nothing came to my mind. She reached out and touched me on the forehead. I moved my head back and forth.

“Stop. Stop that,” I said. She drew back her hand. I think there was more to the back and forth. Honestly, I don't remember all of it. It might have been confusing or I was too freaked out. She might have left when the bell rang. Or maybe she hung around a little bit longer.

Either way, she wouldn't let me go.
