Are You The One For Me? (2)

ERIC'S POV:

I thought that when I came to this school, it would be full of cute girls, but none of them are the right one for me. But, this school is cooler than my last one. I had already made some friends. I never expected myself to be in the honor's class, I mean I knew I was smart, I just didn't think I was this smart. I was at lunch right now and was talking to some of my new friends. Their names were Dylan, Sam, and Dave. They were all pretty cool and really smart, but so was everyone in that class.

"This school sure is big." I said, looking around.

My eyes fell upon a girl, she was sitting by herself; I assumed her class had probably gone to get lunch. My class had already got lunch, we were the first to get it. My eyes were stuck on the girl. She was wearing a black t-shirt and gray skinny jeans, with some converses. Dylan noticed me staring at something, but the others didn't.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

"That girl. Who is she?" I asked him.

He looked where I was looking and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Oh, her."

"Do you know her?" I turned my head towards him.

"Yeah."

"How?"

"She was in my class in fifth grade. She's kinda quiet, she doesn't talk much." he explained.

"Oh." I looked back at her.

She looked so pretty, then I realized something.

"Does she have a boyfriend?" I asked.

"No, I don't think so. Why?"

"She's pretty, wonder why she's not taken."

I noticed the girl was looking this way, I think she noticed that I was staring at her, but who wouldn't?

"You seriously like her?"

She looked away, when Dylan saw her looking over at our table.

"Yeah. I'm a go talk to her." I decided.

"Good luck."

The girl was now looking down and playing with her fingers as I walked up to her.

"Hi." I said.

She looked up.

"Hi." she responded.

She looked even prettier up close. She had really long black hair and brown eyes like mine, only hers were darker. She also had tan skin. I smiled at her.

"My name's Eric. What's yours?" I smiled at her.

"Um, Callista." she said.

"That's a nice name."

"Thanks. I've never seen you before."

"Oh, I just moved here a couple of days ago."

"Oh."

We both stayed silent. I just stood there like an idiot, smiling at her. I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"So, um, can I ask you something?" I asked, looking into her eyes.

"Uh, sure." she said.

"Since I'm sorta new, I was wonderin', would you like to be my friend?"

"Uh, sure."

"Great! I'll, um, see ya 'round, then." I was so happy.

"Yeah."

I left, smiling at her. I walked back to my table and I seriously couldn't stop grinning. I was just so happy.

"So, what'd she say?" Dylan asked.

"Oh, nothing really," I told him. "I just asked her to be my friend and she said sure."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"You're acting like such a girl." Dylan teased.

"I can't help it."

I looked back at Callista and she was talking to her friend. She looked at me through the corners of her eyes, I smiled at her and she smiled back.

Well, I liked how you turn the story to Eric's point of view, readers ALWAYS like that in a story. but...omg! you don't have to repeat the convo! >.< maybe you can tell it from his point of view but it's never a good thing to have a reader sitting there really over the same thing. you could have summarized it in this chapter by him then have him go talk to Dylan again. >.< great job on his thoughts, but you should ever repeat a dialogue! :P *helpful critizim!!!!* hehe
