Josh/Stalking


We became the first official stalkers. It was amazing, the way it happened. It was almost an accident. And you're probably confused. Let me explain. It wasn't our fault, it really wasn't. I mean he started it. Really.

we were sitting at lunch one day, minding our own business when Shawn nudged me.

"What?" I said through a mouthful of fries (yes I remember the fries vividly because they were orange. I know orange, right?).

“That kid is staring at me,” she told me.

“Where?!” I almost shouted as I twisted my head to see. She smacked my head down.

“Shhh. We have to act nonchalance.” She picked up a fry and casually pointed to someone in front of her. I followed her direction and then saw him. HIM. The first thing I noticed was that the was short. Not kind of short, but smaller than MIDGET short. The second was that he had The

HUGEST EYES EVER!

They were big and blue and they were staring right at us.
I immediately dropped my gaze.

“Freaky,” I told her.

“I know.” Shawn answered.

“You know,” I began studying him, “I don't think he's staring at us.”

“Yeah,” Shawn said, “I think he's just thinking.” Yes. It did seem like that. He kind of had a glazed look, and was eating very slowly.

“Let's call him 'Boy With Big Eyes',” I said.

“Okay,” said Shawn because she's cool that way. And from then on we stalked him. He was such an interesting little boy that our curiosity was burning like an oil fire on a wooden house. We followed him at lunch. We stalked him in the morning where we thought he was being bullied. Except we didn't know if he was being bullied or he was just playing around with his friends because he didn't show any expression on his face when he was being bullied/playing around . Since we didn't know, we didn't interfere, but I've been thinking of putting his name in the buddy box.

We obsessed over him. The first time we heard him talk he said “What is he doing?” His voice was high pitched just like Shawn predicted. I was kind of hoping he'd have this low manly voice. But it was nothing compared to the time we learned his name. Because it was a chain reaction of good creative things.
