we had a writing prompt in English today and i wantd 2 post it so here it is:
I first saw him on an ordinary Monday. Tall, muscular, green eyes, and light brown hair just over his eyes. The new kid. The new, FEARED, kid. He was silent and never tried to make friends with anyone. Sarah, Danielle, Claire, Shelby, Kara, Anna, their attempts were met with only silence. Who was I to think that I could get even one word out of him? I still went forward. I’m a loner, I thought, why should he speak to me of all people? But yet, something urged me on. I sat across from him and didn’t speak. Just sitting there in silence. The whole lunch period was spent sitting in silence, but it wasn’t awkward or loud, it was perfect and normal. Something got me to sit across from him the next day and the next and the next. Everyday we sat across from each other in silence. At first everyone stared at me, the loner, and him, the new kid, sitting across from each other in a comfortable silence, but then they stopped staring and went back to ignoring me and began ignoring him too. Silence became my lunch period and amazingly I enjoyed and looked forward to it. I didn’t even know his name, but I couldn’t ask him. Something seemed to draw me to him and I couldn’t pull away. I would study his face while I was eating and wonder what he was thinking. One day he looked at me and said
“What?”That was it, just a simple “What?” It implied so many things, but I could seem to answer. It seemed like his deep voice was echoing through my head, What?, What?, What?… It was like he wondered why I was staring at him. I found that I didn’t have an answer and probably never would. Lunch ended that day in silence and continued in that silence everyday for the next year. Neither of us speaking and that one word spoken echoing between us....
