All this talk and no action?
Well, after browsing through the first HS thread, I decided to give a teaser of an old drabble I made.
Out of all my old ones. This and the diary ones remain my favorite.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was the best time of day, and the best time of the week. It was a Friday, and it was after school, which means, time for the weekend. Two whole days of no homework, sleeping in, and just flat out having fun. After all, thats what kids do. One girl was seen skipping on her merry way home from school, after doing her after school studies, the girl wore a white skirt that went down to her knees, and wearing a really big burgundy sweater with a white scarf around her neck, humming as she skipped along the road, this happy-go-lucky, carefree, seeming girl was known as May. After skipping for a while she came across a park that was really close to her house, she noticed how the sun was lazily setting over the hill beyond the park, May just watched in awe, despite living here all her life, she had never seen anything this beautiful. May decided to sit near a big tree and just admire the scene for some time.
Not too far from where May was sitting, there were a group of young boys playing a game of baseball. A friendly after school game between classmates. One boy began walking up to the home plate (which was a backpack) getting ready to bat, all the boys on the opposing team saw this boy and knew that this was bad, for this boy was a good hitter and could hit far, really far, "GUYS, GET BACK, BRENDAN IS BATTING!" Yelled the pitcher.
Brendan wore navy blue pants along with a bright red short-sleeve shirt with a black long sleeve under shirt and he sported a black cap that covered his white hair. He began to take some practice swings as he slowy got into his batting stance. several kids on his team sitting on the side started yelling out to him "C'MON BRENDAN, YOU CAN DO IT!"
"YEA HIT IT OUT OF THIS WORLD, AND DON'T GET OUT, WE ALREADY HAVE TWO SO IF YOU DO, WE LOSE, AND I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM OUR LUNCH MONEY FOR THE NEXT WEEK!!" Yelled the next boy. There was silence, as the pitcher carefully watched the catchers hand signs as to what pitch to throw, then finally, the pitch.
*CLINK*
The sound of a ball getting hit by a metal bat was heard all by all of the boys playing as the ball flew up high in the air and deep into the outfield "DAMNIT!" was all the pitcher could say as he threw his glove on the ground, all the other kids were cheering for Brendan, as he ran around the feild that was made by the kids. As the players in the outfield ran for the ball, they noticed that it was heading toward a big tree and they noticed May sitting near it admiring a small batch of flowers.
"HEY, LOOKOUT!" was all they could say to her
May looked up to see the boys running toward her yelling something and pointing into the air, but she couldn't make out what they were saying "I wonder what they are talking abo......" she couldn't finish as she looked up in the air and saw a ball flying toward her and then....
*CLUNK*
The ball had hit her right on her forehead, knocking her out instantly. Before reaching home plate, Brendan saw this as well as the other boys and quickly ran over there to see what had happened to the girl. They all gathered around her, looking at her as if she was a dead body, especially Brendan, after all, it was him who did this.
"Is she dead?" One of the boys asked
"No she's not dead, she's still breathing, stupid." Answered back one of the boys
"What do we do?" Asked one of the boys worryingly "should we wake her up?"
"Yea, lets do that." Agreed one of the boys. So they tried to shake her into waking up, but no dice "It's not working."
"I know, I remember on T.V they did this thing called CPR, to wake up people." said one boy, "It's where you blow air into the other persons mouth until they wake up, and if it's on T.V, it HAS to work!"
All the boys looked at each other, what other choice did they have? They were scared of going to an adult for fear that they would tell their parents and then they'd get in trouble "But I don't want cooties!" yelled one boy
"You won't get cooties, because Brendan is going to do it." said one boy
"ME!?" said Brendan looking scared "Why me?"
"Because you were the one who hit her with the ball, so you gotta do it." Replied the boy
"..........I guess.........." said Brendan, he had no choice, he got down on his knees and got closer to her face, then he noticed something, she was cute. Maybe this wasn't going to be all that bad after all. Their faces were only inches apart, Brendan's face began to blush as his face got closer and closer to May's, Brendan's heart started to beat faster, 'would this be considered as a kiss?' He thought, and then the predictable had happened. May had opened her eyes.
"AHHHHHHH!!!" May screamed
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Brendan yelled as he fell backward and May trying to crawl away but she was surrounded by the boys so she had nowhere to go.
"wha,... Whats going on!?" May asked in a panic. "why are you all here and why does my head hurt, AND WHY DID YOU TRY TO KISS ME!?" May demanded
Brendan sat up and started to explain, "Calm down, I wasn't trying to kiss you, I was trying to save you, I was trying to do CPR because a ball hit you on the head and you wouldn't wake up." He finished hoping that she would believe him.
"Why did you hit me with a ball?" Asked May feeling her forehead to find a rather large lump.
"It was an accident, the ball flew up in the air and you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Said one of the boys.
"Oh, ow, my head, it hurts." said May, tears started to come down her face. Then Brendan had an idea, he ran back to his backpack, and pulled out his lunch box, and opened it and pulled out a small ice package that was used to keep his lunch cool and came back.
"Here, my dad says that it you put something cold on a bump, it's supposed to go down, or make it feel better, one of the two." He said as he applied the pack to her forehead.
".....Thank you" Said May, noticing the boy who had just helped her, she thought he was cute, real cute, and nice and caring seeing that he was helping her feel better, she then put her hand on Brendan's to apply pressure to the pack. They locked eyes for the first time and sparks started to fly, for they both blushed at the mere sight of each other "Um..I never did get your name."
"Oh, my name is Brendan." Brendan replied "Here, i'll walk you home" He offered his hand to May's so that she could get up, she accepted it while still blushing.
As they started to walk off, one of the boys ran up to Brendan "Hey Brendan."
"What?" Brendan asked as he saw the boy tap him on shoulder with his glove that held a baseball.
"you're out."
