Short Story 1: Candy

She always had candies with her. Whenever she's with someone, she'll whip out her box of colourful Sticky candies and offer them. She's who everyone will turn to when they need to satisfy their sweet tooth. I never gotten the chance to talk to her. When she first came to my school, she's this bubbly ball of fun, wearing the most funky and colorful dress. It looks horrendous on others but it suits her personality well. Since the first day, finding friends never seems to be a problem to her since she quickly attracted many people's attention just by her looks alone. I seem to be in a total opposite world compared to her. 
Today I saw her sitting alone by the benches listening to her ipod while chewing on jelly beans. Plucking up the courage i've been building up for months, i decided to take a shot and approach her. She looked up from her ipod, smiling at me and i felt my whole world coming to a stop.
"Hi, you're Randall right? I'm Candice". I nodded, surprised that she even knew my name. She held out a hand and i tentatively took it. The surge of electricity that shot through my arms the moment her skin touched mine was so addictive, like the candy that she always offers.
Like the idiot I was, all i did after shaking her hands was to sit next to her and kept quiet. We watched the field of students in front of us, soaking up the sun that so rarely surfaces. I heard the clanking of a hard object against metal and turned towards her. She held out a box of jelly beans, "Want one?". I took a few and popped them into my mouth, feeling the mixture of berries on my tongue.
"You always have candies around you. Do you love them?" I asked, curiously. She looks a bit shocked at my question but answered me.
"Not really".
"Then why?".
Her beautiful blue eyes met me and the sun choose that time to shine down on her, creating an illusion that made her eyes sparkle. She smiled sheepishly, "Can you keep this a secret?". I swallowed as she leaned in closer and winked, "To tell you the truth, it's my secret bait".
"A bait?"
"Yup, a bait for making friends like you. It's hard to fit in here so i thought, Who would reject a nice candy?"
I laughed, this is the girl that I thought had no problem making friends. We would get along well from now on, I just knew it. I hoped we would stay like this forever.


***My attempt to write a short story. Sorry it's doesn't really make any sense, I've been out of practice lately. But still, this just randomly came up in my mind so i wrote it***
