selfish

Charles was a very charming guy, had everything a dream guy is: the money, the looks, the personality. He is your typically role model too, football player, straight-A student; but there was something very weird about him. He never had a girlfriend. Sure, he had lots of friends, always roling with the crowd, but was never seen at parties or doing 'bad' stuff. Of course, i wouldn't know anything about this but from rumors. I was never in the crowd. I was rejected from our teen society, but it's ok, i liked it that way.

It was one day when i was at the local movie theater, by myself, when i saw him, but decided to ignore him.
I went to the concesion stand to get myself some popcorn; i was walking back to hwere the movie was playing, when i stumbled on something, dropping my popcorn.
"Oh shit!" I decided to leave it there and started to walk again, when a hand took hold of my wrist and gently pulled me back. I started to think on an argument.
I closed my eyes and started to talk, "look, I'm sorry, i didn't mean to drop all the buttery popcorn on the carpet, but it was an accident, so now if you let go of my hand i'll gladly forget about this."
"But i don't want you to forget" a smooth male voice said. I opened my eyes and saw a pair of deep brown eyes staring right at me. His eyes were so deep that i could feel it looking into me. I have never looked at him like this.
"what?" i managed to say, though i don't know how.
"You stumbled into me and dropped your popcorn, and i thought you would like some more, and i will gladly buy it for you." he looked at my hand, still being held by his. He released his grip, and said, "oh im sorry, i'm being too forward." his eyes glinted in the dim light of the lobby and he looked even more gorgeous than i thought he could look.
He smiled and stritched open his hand, "I'm Charles, or charlie for you" and he winked.
"Holy shit, You are flirting with me"
He chuckled, "is it working?"
"i thought you were gay."
He looked taken aback by this comment. "Why would you think that?"
I bit my lip, "well, is just that i never looked you with anybody before, so i thought you were trying to put yourself together to get out of the closet any moment. And you know what they say."
He looked annoyed and said, "i dont know what they say, tell me"
"adorable guys like you are taken, or they are gay, or they are fictional characters"
His expression changed between annoyed, to confused, until lastly he blushed.
"oh. thanks"
The atmosphere changed to awkward until i decided i wanted to go back to my movie.
"look, thanks for the offer, but i gotta go."
"Sure, i never got your name though"
I turned around, while walkin backwards, and said "Jazzmine"

While i was watching the movie, i couldn't help but think about his eyes, and the way he looked at me. Why would he be flirting with plain ol' jazzy? Marizza would be his perfect match, not me.
I couldn''t pay attention to the movie, so i decided to leave.
It was still early, so i decided to hit the bookstore. I got a coffee from the coffee bar and went into the book hunt. I didn't find anything that could entertain my coffee-induced hyperness.
I went home, back to the shell of my life, ready to go through another day of my so called life.
