~Alean~

I saw him and I swear my heart skipped a beat I swear. He looked so happy even though it was the first day of school. Like nothing concerned him. I would date him if he asked.

~Christian~

On the first day of school, when I walked into the classroom. This weird girl started to stare at me. I'll admit it, she was pretty but I don't think she would date me.

~Alean~

He bumped into me and I can promise you I have never felt so happy. This shirt is now my lucky shirt!!

~Christian~

I bumped into her today and I felt so bad. She was so happy till we collided. She was smiling and laughing. I hope she can forgive me.

~Alean~

He hasn't spoken to me in so long. I missed when we would talk all the time. It was only after he bumped into me he stopped talking to me. I hate that he stopped.

~Christian~

I love her so much. I hate that I stopped talking to her. I wish that I had the confidence to talk to her.

~Alean~

I wish he would just try and talk to me. I see him all the time laughing and giggling with his friends and all I think about is where I went wrong.

~Christian~

That's it, I'm going to go talk to her.

“Hey Alean. Can I sit here?” “Oh hi Christian, Of course. Come take a seat!””Thanks!” They sat there in awkward silence just eating their food and existing next to each other. Christian mustered up the courage to ask one question he has been dying to get an answer to. “Hey Alean. I'm sorry bumped into you.” Christian managed to mumble out. “Sorry I can't hear you, what did you say?” Alean said, genuinely confused. “I said, I'm sorry bumped into you.” Christian said a little louder. “Oh don't even worry about it. It didn't even hurt.” Alean said with so much warmth in her voice Christian wanted to keep talking to her forever. Who wouldn't? Alean was so welcoming no matter the circumstances. She would always let people in even when she needed them most.

(Three days later Alean in the girls bathroom sitting on the floor crying quietly.)    “Alean are you ok?” One of her “friends” asks. “Oh yeah I’m ok. What's up!”  Alean responded happily. Later the girl spent 10 minutes rambling about all the issues of her life. Alean was always the friend that floated around. Never invited to anything and always stayed home. They only asked her for help when they wanted advice. Her only true friend was a girl named Cynthia. Cynthia always stayed with Alean no matter what happened between them. Alean always had Cynthia and Cynthia always had Alean.

Christian walked home. Head hanging low. No words left to speak. He unlocked the door to his home. Dirty, stinky, disgusting. His dad blacked out, looking like a mess, and smelling worse than their home. Christian instinctively reached for the light switch but knew it would never turn on. Just like all the other appliances in his home. He walked past his dad who was on the couch. The bottles and cans crunching under his feet. His dad jolted awake and grabbed Christans arm pulling him to the ground and the cans crushing under his 50 pound body. Christian was a bony kid. No meat on his bones. He would always ration his food and bring half back to his home and hid it in his room, the only “clean” part of his home.

He woke up from off the ground, his dad hovering over him. “Now why would you do that?” Then he got kicked in the ribs. Christian crawled his way up the stairs hand over his ribs. When he finally reached his room he collapsed on the floor curled up into a little ball to take up as little space as he possibly could. Even though he never took up any space, then he fell asleep. When he woke, he tip toed out his room and home onto the street. Outside the wind blew slightly with the dim glow of the moon on his face, then a shooting star appeared, illuminating the sky. He wished for something he knew would never change.“I wish for a better family”  15 minutes later when he was about to head inside, he saw another one. Bigger, bolder, brighter. “I wish for Alean to love me back”  He went back inside. Not knowing that his dream would later come soon
