Creative Writing: River's POV
River’s POV After what felt like an eternity of searching, I finally found her resting against a tree, music blaring so loud that she didn’t notice me walk up or sit next to her. I sat there for a minute, waiting for her to take notice, and when no recognition had come forth, I tapped her shoulder gently. She ignored it completely, so I did it again. This time, a head full of dark hair and charcoal eyes whipped up so fast that I heard a crack. She stared at me bewildered, a conglomeration of expressions adorning her exhausted features.
“What the hell?” she blurted out, her voice raised.

“Please come back,” I whispered, half hoping she would hear me. The figure continued walking away until she was completely gone, and I once again faded into the background. Did that actually just happen?
River’s
POV Well, my last attempt failed miserably, but I’m not giving up unless she tells me that she hates me or something, but I highly doubt that was what happened. I think that she was just really unsure of what to do because she hasn’t talked to anyone her age for a while from what I can tell. Social anxiety disorder maybe?
