Ariel.

getting on my feet again...

(Alarm clock goes off)

*Sigh*

"I REALLY don't want to get up right now."I thought to myself. I slowly get up as if I have serious back problems and put a hand on my head. I then turn to empty the spot on my bed that was full not too long ago.I cringe at the thought of her..that bitch who fucking tore my heart out.

I get out of the bed and go to the bathroom where I start to brush my teeth. As I'm doing so, my mind starts to focus on her again."hmph, even when you're gone you're still fucking with my head."I say. This really sucks....

As I'm getting dressed my phone rings...

"hello"?

"What's up dude, how have you been"? A voice asks.

It's my friend Vincent. I'm actually glad to hear from him. It has been a while.......even though he does live an hour away.

"what's up dude? I'm trying to get back on my feet.....I'm making progress."

Vincent:"you're still hung up on Julia"? He asks. I cringed when I heard her name."dude you've gotta get over her Cy."

"I know , but it's kinda difficult to get over a three year relationship. I mean I wasted the years of my time and money on her and what does she do? She decides to go and cheat on me!"

Vincent:"that's why you should get over her dude."

"Vince.......she sent a picture of herself fucking another dude with the caption 'it's over!' on it."

There was a long awkward pause after that.

Vincent:"...okay I see where you're getting at. Tell you what, come to the coffee shop later so we can talk later, okay"? Vincent runs a coffee shop by the way. I usually go there it has AMAZING coffee.

"okay, I'll come by after work."

Vincent:"great! See you when you get there." he hangs up right after.

As I'm working on new tattoos to draw(I work in a tattoo parlor and I draw what the customers want if they don't pick one of the wall where all of my previous artwork hang)I start to think about what Vincent said. I really do need to get over her, but then again I can't just forgive her for what she did. I try to forget about her for the time being and go right back to work but then realize I completely forgot what I was drawing. "fuck!" I mutter under my breath.

As I start to crumble up the paper, I hear my boss start greetng a customer.

"welcome! feel free to look around to find the tattoo you want. If you don't want one that's on the wall, go to that guy with the beanie so he can draw you one." he says pointing at me. I give him an annoyed look.

"you sound like a Wal-Mart greeter." I say. As I go back to drawing, the person he was taking to comes up to me.

"um, hi....can you draw me a tattoo please?" A feminine voice asks. I look up to see who's talking to me and my eyes widen as I see her. This girl was absolutely beautiful. she has deep blue eyes, smooth skin, a perfect figure, an amazing face, but what caught me off guard the most was her hair. It was pure white. I don't think dyes can do that , so it has to be her natural hair color.

"um.....excuse me?" she asks. I instantly snap out of my trance once I realize I was staring at her hair.

"y-yeah...what do you want me to draw for you"? I ask, slightly embarrassed.

She then proceeds to tell me that she wants me to draw a crescent moon, which doesn't seem hard. I tell her that I'll be done in a few minutes and to wait near the door.

"Okay, I'm done miss." I say ten minutes later. It took longer than expected since I wanted to add more detail to the tattoo for her. She gets up from the chair and comes over to look at the tattoo she's soon to have on her arm.

"It's....amazing!" she says, clearly excited.

I'm glad she likes it. I tried a little more than usua- wait.......why am I trying so hard? Why am I trying to impress a girl I know nothing about? Whatever.....it's not like I like her or anything. I shake off these thoughts and look up to see her staring at me.

"y-yes"? I say nervously.

"you look familiar...." she says, still focused on me. Has she seen me from somewhere before?

"Ah I remember now....", she starts. "you're the guy that's always in the library making flash animations on his laptop at the university!".
I try comprehend what she's saying. We go to the same college?

"now that I think about it, we have the same classes together."she states. We do!? I honestly never noticed a white haired chick in any of my classes.

"I never seen you before..." I say. "well you don't really pay attention to anyone else in the classes." she says, sounding kind of hurt.

"yeah well I'm....kind of an introvert." I say. she gives a puzzled look.

"oh come on, don't be like that. Hey, how about we hang out after you get off of work?" She says.

"s-sorry....I have somewhere to go after work." I say, trying not to be rude. She looks disappointed, but then quickly suggest we hang out tomorrow. I reluctantly agree, but I'm kind of excited. she then asks what my name is.

"my name's Cyrus."
I tell her.she then gives a comforting smile and tells me her name.

"Ariel."

On my way to the coffee shop, I start to realize that she had kind of an accent. A Russian accent. I like it, but you won't hear it unless you pay close attention to the way she speaks. As I stop at a red light, I look into the rear view mirror and see that I have a ridiculous smile on my face. I quickly get rid of it. I shouldn't be so excited to hang out with a girl I just met. A very cute girl......with nice eyes....and face......and hair.........and body. I start to feel the smile come back. "Dammit!" I yell.I'm so stupid.

I make it to the coffee shop and see Vincent waiting for me at the door. when I get out the car, I notice he's giving me a very confused look.

"What's with that goofy smile"? He asks. I'm not even trying to hide it anymore.

"I'm doing what you wanted me to do.......I'm getting on my feet again...."

A/N I hope everyone who reads this enjoy it. This was my very first time ever writing something like this and honestly, all of this was completely improvised, and because of it I now have a massive headache.
