What is Mine

Chapter 2

I walked over to her and sat down. I casually look around to think and cough up a conversation.

"It's quite nice out here today, don't you think?" I say.

"Um... I guess?" She said looking up then back down at her book.

"Paper Towns, huh?" I say.

"Yeah, uh... It's a pretty decent book." She said.

"I've never read it. It looks interesting. You should tell me what it's about." I said.

"Well," she said slowly closing the book.

"It's hard to explain, much goes on in it." She said.

She started explaining the story and I got lost in her words, she has such a beautiful voice.

"That sounds great, but you know who else is mysterious?" I say after she explains about Quentin's perspective on Margo.

"Who?" She said.

"You." I say.

"Oh," she says sarcastically laughing.

"There is nothing mysterious about me. I'm basically an open book." She says.

"You can only be an open book to yourself. How could someone like me who started talking to you 5 minutes ago know your story?" I say.

"How would you know I have a story?" She said smirking.

Her smile is beautiful. It's hard to explain it. It just makes you feel like nothing is around you

"Because everyone does. There are good and bad stories, exciting and dull stories, normal and unusual stories. Life has many genres." I say to her.

"You must have lived life quite a lot to know this, well my idea of your story is, your quite intelligent... But you did something to gain your intelligence." She said.

"And you are exactly correct. Hmm... My idea on your story is, you have secrets... But you keep to yourself, you have friends... But no one to trust, you are carried on well by yourself, but you don't realize it." I say.

"See, I'm basically an open book." She said.

"I never said you were an open book, but I didn't say you were completely closed either." I say.

"Well, it was nice talking. Um, more like blowing my mind. Possibly we will run into each other another time?" She said.

"Yeah, hopefully." I say.

"Bye, stranger." She said.

"Oh um, I'm Cameron." I say before she walked away.

"Mollie." She said.
