Lost

Chapter 3

I nervously make my way to the back table where Zach is sitting. I sit down next to him, and he turns his head towards me.

"Hi, I'm Zach." He smiles.

"Um, I know." I stutter.

"You know who I am?" he asks, looking puzzled.

"Who doesn't know you?" I answer.

He shrugs. "I'm not some celebrity. I'm just like everyone else."

"You're not though," I say shyly, ducking my head.

"How so?"

I sigh. "You're captain of the soccer team. Not everyone can say that."

"Well, everyone's good at something," he says. "What about you? What do you like to do?"

I shrug, nothing. I'm pretty boring.

He nudges my arm. "Come on, let me into your mind."

I barely even know this guy, he's too friendly for his own good. The last thing he should want to do is get to know me. l would just bring down his social status.

"You'd lose your mind trying to understand my mind," I say quietly.

He shrugs and gives me a wink. "Maybe I've already lost it."
