Beautiful Human Being


Chapter 1


    He was only 17. He was a good boy when he was at school, but this also
led to him being walked over by the other students. He's always honest,
couldn't stand lying, not even to strangers. He doesn't stand out much, no
one really noticed him. Not being the tallest person in the school at 5'
6", nor over weight for his height and age, he just blended into the
background very easily. He's not pale but he's not tanned either, his skin
would remain the same color every season of the year. He had very dark
brown hair that wasn't long but covered his ears and forehead. His eyes
were a stunning true blue and would definitely catch your attention if you
made eye contact with him. His name is James.

    It's early December and James was out shopping at the counties largest
shopping center, buying Christmas presents for his family with money earned
from a weekend job at his local food store. He was queuing in an electrical
store, buying an MP3 player from his sister.
    After he brought it, he turned round to make his way out the store, but
just as he turned round he made eye contact with the most beautiful person
he had ever seen in his life.

    Time seemed to stand still as James stared at the boy who was stood
behind him. The boy had jet black hair, a little longer than James'. He was
slightly taller too and dressed in black. He had pale smooth skin, dark
brown eyes and a innocent look to him.

    Even though James felt as if time stood still while he stared at the
boy, time continued to tick away. After staring at the boy for about 3
seconds, the boy's innocent look turn to an almost angry glare as he
snapped, "What you staring at!?".

    James broke the stare, feeling slightly embarrassed and shy. He didn't
want to walk away with no response nor did he want to lie. James just
replied with "A beautiful human being." and walked away looking as if he
was going to burst into tears with his head bowed.

    The boy was shocked with the response from James and didn't know how to
react. He thought for a moment, then dropped his basket of items he was
queuing to buy and ran out the store after James. He stepped outside the
door, stopped and looked round for James. Being this close to Christmas,
the shopping center was the busiest it had ever been. The boy stood on top
of a bench near by and looked around for James. He saw him about 10 meters
away, got down off the bench and started to push through the crowds.

    The boy got close, grabbed James' hand. James turned round shocked to
see it was the beautiful boy. The boy looked at him with a small and almost
shouted in the crowded, noisy place, "Come with me!". With that, the boy
pulled James' hand and James followed through the crowd to a door. They got
out side and the door shut behind them. The boy continued to pull James a
little more down the path, then he stopped, let go, turned to James. They
both stood there awkwardly for a few seconds. James tried to put on a small
smile and said jokingly, "Was it something I said?"

    "Yes!" the boy replied immediately. "Say what you said in the store
again."

    "I don't want to."

    "Yes you do. What was it you called me?"

    "It wasn't anything bad. I don't want to say it again."

    "Did you, or did you not call me a beautiful human being?"

    James stood there, keeping himself quite.

    "Well!" the boy snapped at James again. James showed a subtle scared
look and the boy calmed. "Sorry, I... I didn't mean to shout at you. It's
just I've never had anyone say anything nice to me. People usually just
give me dirty looks or shout abuse at me."

    "I've never had anyone shout abuse at me, but at school no one seems to
respect me." James said looking down at his feet, feeling slightly
uncomfortable opening up to the unknown boy.

    The boy reached out his right arm with an open hand as he said, "I'm
Dan."

    James looked up at the boy, looked into his big brown eyes, reached out
and grabbed his hand and said, "I'm James."

    They shook hands and soon let go.

    Dan looked at the time on his phone, "Look, I've got a load of shopping
to do today", he said. "What you doing tomorrow? I mean, if you want to,
did you want to grab a coffee or something? I don't mind, your choice if
you want to meet up again."

    James just continued to look at him as a smile a smile showed on his
face, "Sure, say around one o'clock?"

    A smile soon showed on Dan's face, "Yeah that'll be cool." he said in
his most relaxed tone of voice yet.

    They said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, James carried on
down the path as he had finished his shopping, and Dan went back through
the door into the shopping center to continue his shopping.

    James was happy for the rest of the day and excited about the following
day. He may actually have a friend, or someone who could be more than just
a friend.
