Her or Him

Lily

*Ring!*     *Ring!*

As the bell rang everyone became silent as they watched a girl walk in.

She was new to the school.She had purple and blue hair with light blue eyes that would stare back at you directly in the eyes.The teacher came over and announced that she was going to be in their class from now on.He sat down as he motioned for her to introduce herself to her classmates.

"My name is Lily.I'm 17 and I love to draw."

As she sat down,whispers came from all around her.She heard them all but thought nothing of it.

As she was leaving school she noticed that there was a boy staring at her.When he noticed that she had saw him,he waved at her and smiled.

*Badump badump*

She waved back and also smiled but quickly ran away.When she got to her new apartment she quickly made dinner from the groceries she had bought from a store nearby.She quickly finished eating and took a shower.When she got out,she searched through her backpack until she had found what she was looking for...A cat she had hidden in her backpack.She lifted it out and noticed that it was very skinny.She found some cat food for it and watched it devour it hungrily.After it was full and clean,she put the cat on her bed and tucked it in.It was a small light brown kitten that was abandoned by its mother.She decided that she would keep her and named her S'more.

The next day she left it a bowl of water and food and left the house.As she locked her door,she heard a door open to her left.She turned and saw the boy from yesterday.He noticed her too and smiled."Wanna walk to school together?"He asked."Sure,I guess"She replied.He was taller than her by a couple feet and had slightly dark blonde hair and blue eyes."Oh I forgot to mention,I'm Ben."He told her with another grin."I'm Lily."She told him back.She smiled and soon they were talking to each other about their hobbies and what kind of things they liked.When they got to school Ben was overwhelmed by his friends and hurriedly said bye.She waved and walked towards her classroom.

As the months went by,she made more and more friends and became best friends with Ben.They would hang out and talk about their day and play with S'more.One day as they were hanging out at her house,she heard someone calling her on her phone.She excused herself and answered.

"HAVE YOU FINISHED YET?!??!"

"No."She replied

"This was to be a in and out mission for you"

"It is...It's just taking longer than expected."

"Well hurry it up or we'll have to send in Travis to help."

"NO!!That guy is such an idiot he'll just make it worse!"

"Well than just hurry up,if you don't finish in a week than he'll be coming in to finish the job"

"Okay!Bye!"

She ended the call and walked back into the living room where Ben looked worried.

"Sorry my parents can be over protective sometimes."She told him as an apology.

"It's fine."

Soon Ben went back home and she collapsed onto her couch.'Oh man not Travis!!That guy is so annoying!I can't do it in a week!Uhhh I guess I have no choice but to wait.'

A week later,she heard a knock on her door."Alright,alright!I'm coming!"She replied racing to the door.There stood a black-haired guy with bright blue eyes.

'Travis'She thought to herself.She sighed and walked to school with him ignoring everything he said all the way.When he walked into the same class as her,she spun around."Are you following me?Don't you have class too?"She said angrily."I have all the same classes as you and I live next door to you."He said back,clearly annoyed that she hadn't listened to him tell her earlier about the arrangements.She sighed again and walked in.As she drudged through each class she had to listen to Travis telling the answer to every question the teachers asked.After school Ben walked towards her as she sat on a bench having to listen to Travis talk about himself and all the girls who asked him out today."Sup."Said Ben."Hey,Ben!This is my other friend Travis.He's new and is really smart!"She told him."Hey,man."Said Travis.The two shook hands and talked about baseball and other sports.She noticed that Travis had sent her a text message and trailed behind them,reading his message.

'Is this the one?'he had asked.

'Yes,'She replied back.

She put away her phone and slowly walked away from them,hoping to get some peace and quiet for once.As she walked for a bit,she reached a park and sat down at a bench,listening to some music.

Suddenly,someone came up behind her and dragged her behind a tree.

"Hello again"said the stranger.She had learned some martial arts as a kid and kicked as hard as she could at his groin.He groaned and loosened his grip,which Lily took to her advantage.She spun around and pinned him to the tree.She then remembered that the stranger said they had met.She lifted his head and gasped.
