Part one of my ebtery of Jdawns contest, hope you like:
Connor
She looked ill again, her eyes usually a dark stormy blue were now a light cloudy grey; like they had been for the last few days. I stood at my locker watching her trudge through the snow that covered the school parking lot through the window. She came through the school doors and hugged me
“Hey Sapphi, how ya feeling?” I asked as she squeezed me half to death.
She instantly let go and rolled her eyes at me “Connor I’m fine…stop asking me, it's just…just that time of month.
I let it go.
Sapphire and I had met two years ago when she joined New hope High. She was my best friend, and not to forget my only best friend. Because no-one wanted to hang out with the boy from the orphanage, plus no one wanted to hang out with the girl who hung out with the boy from the orphanage.
We hung out and talked in the school courtyard while sitting on one of the benches, until the bell for registration went.
The first half of the day went by pretty slowly, Sapphi was in my first classes but when it came to all the others I was alone, and I got lonely when she wasn’t moaning and falling asleep halfway through class.
I was sat in History, when someone busted through the door, I recognized him, it was Peter, the school nerd and teachers' pet.
“ Connor, the teachers need your help…Sapphire’s disappeared.”
I didn’t know why I didn’t burst out crying then.
We must have spent an hour looking for her all round the school until I finally got dismissed from school, the teachers said it was because I knew all of her favorite places so I might be able to track her down.
Sapphire
I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t leave Connor on his own. I’ve been told to take him with me. They’ve said he’s the one, but he can’t be I would know by now.
It was heart wrenching knowing I might never see that messy black and chocolate brown hair, shiny emerald eyes and cute cocky smile again.
Connor
I strolled down the towns main street on the brink of tears, Where is she? I thought, until I went into the coffee shop and saw her…I had to check twice but the dark auburn and plum hair was defiantly hers.
“Sapphire?” I whispered she looked up at me then squeezed me half to death…again.
“What are you up to at all?” I asked. I suddenly saw guilt in her eyes “ Connor, I’m leaving for something.” I couldn’t tell what she was on about, but she was close to tears.
“Connor.. I might be coming back, but all I know is that it's dangerous” then I clicked…she was telling the truth but she wasn’t going to go anywhere without me dangerous or not.
“I’m coming” I insisted “no your not..” she replied. The argument went on for a few minutes.
Sapphire
I was so close to giving in... I couldn’t though, we argued for a few more minutes until he pulled something out of his pocket and placed it in my hand. It was the most gorgeous necklace I had ever seen it was a heart shaped locket with a small sapphire diamond in the centre surrounded by different gems. All different colours. “ I was going to give it to you for your birthday, it was the only thing that my mum left me…open it” I did as he said, small tears making a journey down my cheeks, as I opened I smiled, it was a picture on me and him back to back cut in half, one of us in each frame. I knew he would never let me give it back to him, so I just hugged him and he whispered “Am I coming then” I was still smiling knowing for better for worst he was going to be there for me.
"yes. But you need to know the truth about me"
. We don't learn much about the characters, just that they really care about each other, so I can't really comment much. But hopefully, soon you'll reveal some more about your characters.
