When you are walking down the street, you normally expect to get to your destination alone without any one butting into your thoughts. I did not think it was going to happen either but I have to be the only one in the space of time to be joined by a really random, really hot bloke.

In theory, I am meant to be going to see my best friend. My male best friend and in theory I loved him but I think by the end of the conversation I started falling deep like with this really random guy. It was one of the main streets in town and I guess I was about half way down through in to town and I was in my own little world. Thinking about really random things... fine I was thinking of Jacob.

I normally I dont people falling into stride with me in fact people stay away from me. Jacob is my one and only perfect friend and even thought I want more out of him I think stay friends would be better. Anyway, I am walking down the street and then another pair of feet comes into my vision. I frown at them and glance without moving my head at the person who is walking next to me.

I nearly chocked. The person I saw was just perfect. More perfect then Jacob his hair was dark and short cut. It was long enough to run you hand through it. His eyes, his eye were a mix of grey and green. They looked clouded but god they looked perfect.

I saw he had a slight five o’clock shadow and it made him even better. I looked away and kept walking. At first, I thought that maybe he was just walking next to me in the same direction but no he had to talk to me didn’t he. Well actually, he commented.

“I bet if you walked up straight and proud people might talk to you or guy might look at you” I rose my eye-brows. Not at him. I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. I needed to get over him talking to me first. I carried on walking and he sighed.

“Talk to me please” I asked. I looked at him this time. He smiled at me and I just looked forward again. “Oh come on. You can’t be like that round Jacob.” my ears perked.

“What do you know about Jacob?” I asked. He shrugged.

“A bit of this and a bit of that. Look just talk to me a second. Spend some time with me please. You aren’t going anywhere right?” He said to me. I shrugged. “A no then. Good. Come with me.” I ignored him and walked a little faster. “Oh come on talk to me” I stopped and looked at him glaring as I did.

“No I dont talk to strangers.” He smiled and held his hand out.

“Alex. Nice to meet you. I like walking down past rivers and looking at the stars. I like interesting people and I love to read. I pick unpopular girls for my girlfriends and I think you are hot.” I blinked at him and he grinned at me.

I stalked off but he caught my hand. “Look, please I have a spare hour and you have a spare half hour till you meet your friend, just spend some time with me. I really am not that bad.” I thought about it.

“Look I dont know who you are or what you want and I dont care really. I dont know you and yes maybe it would be nice to hang out but...I like someone else. “

“Jacob” he asked I nodded

“Yeah. Look keeping him around is important to me. He is all I have and-“

“Let me be your friend. I won’t hurt and hey school would be fun” I frowned and turned to look at him.

“What do you mean school would be fun?” I asked. He smiled and tucked a lose piece of hair behind my ear.

“We go to the same school and are in the same lessons” I nodded. I didn’t remember him. I never really took any notice but surely, I would have notice suck beauty in my lessons.

“I dont think so”

“I think so. Look you go to War community high school. You take four lessons. Chemistry, Physics, English language, and maths. You sit at the back of all you lesson and you hardly talk. Chemistry you are most relaxed and happy and the rest you are silent. Your grades are perfect even though you find it difficult to keep them like that. Your teacher and Mr Holtzer for physics Mr Walmsly for chemistry Mrs. Rooney for English and you have two teachers for maths. Mrs Allen whom you hate and Mrs. Farewell.”I blinked.

“If you know so much then what is my name. I mean I could fucking call you a stalker if I needed to.” He smiled and stepped closer to me.

“Your name my lovely lady is Morgan Ronaldson.” I blinked again. This had to be wrong. He was like a mini stalker. Never in my life had I had some one know so much about me when I knew nothing of them. It was as if he were another me, an inner me, which I knew nothing of.

“Thank you. Actually I like the sound of us being friends but Alex I am sorry. My heart belongs to Jacob.” Something inside me twisted. This felt wrong this is horrible. My breathing became irregular and my chest hurt a lot.

“One for sorrow.” Alex said. I looked at him and cocked my head tot eh side. I didn’t trust myself to speak. “I saw a Magpie this morning. The saying goes one for sorrow two for joy.” I nodded understanding.

“I am very sorry. I didn’t mean for you to get hurt. Meet me at the gates on Monday” he nodded and waved. I walked off hurting more then I had hurt before. The pain was unbearable and when I reached the spot, where I needed to meet Jacob I collapsed and blacked out.

It was true one Magpie is for sorrow. This day is very sorrowful.
