She
was bored and it was very obvious. Her mind wondered got tired and sat
down to rest while her eyes took over. Not thinking about anything in
particular her eyes moved from row to row, face to face. What was she
looking for? Or rather who?
She
smiled to herself. She knew who she was looking for but sadly she still
hadn’t found him. It had been awhile she saw him. Did he know she
stalked him? Was it that obvious? In a way
she had made it a little obvious. She smiled again. It would be good if
he had noticed, that meant he would know who she was. But that also
meant he would avoid her if she creeped him out. Did she creep him out?
Does she make him uncomfortable? Had she done something disturbing? Had
she stared at him too long? Or had she smiled at him too long? She
wasn’t even sure if she liked him liked him, she just loved seeing his
face. Watching him smile, think, laugh, frown, bored, happy, excited,
mischievous... His different facial expressions each one very distinct
from the other. His face was like a movie, a mixture of romance, comedy
and mystery that keeps you guessing, smiling and wobbly. And then his
eyes....
She
sighed....that love hungry, love starved sigh. Her heart beating faster
now, she remembered the day he said hi to her friend and the smile he
had on, with those cute dimples on
each cheek begging her to come peck them. She didn’t get to talk to him
but she was satisfied being just near him.
Or could it be that he was sick?
‘Oh
no!!’ she thought to herself. He couldn’t be, he was a strong boy, and
he wouldn’t allow himself to be sick. But then again he looked so
fragile so he could be. ‘That would be so sad’ she whispered to herself.
Her mind was exhausted....
She
put her head down to rest a little bit. Listening to all the chattering
around her and then she heard his name being called out and her heart
skipped. This wouldn’t be the first time, she had been watching him for
three years now. Three long years and yet her heart still
froze when she heard his name. She knew all his hangout spots, all his
friends both male and female. She knew when he ate, what he likes to
eat, drink. She knew his favourite thing to do, games, movies and songs
he loved listening to and also his favourite blogs and websites. She had
spent three years getting to know everything about him but had never
said ‘hi’. Once he looked in her direction but that was it. All she had
ever wanted was to say hi to him even if she didn’t have a conversation
with him, she just wanted that smile followed by the ‘hi’. She raised
her head and sighted a group at a distance laughing, she noticed a boy
and girl sitting really close to each other talking to the rest of the
people in front of them. She smiled. ‘Would she ever have that with
him?’ she asked herself ‘the opportunity to sit by his side like it was
normal’. She took in a deep breath taking in his perfume and her heart
skipped again. Someone
smelled like him. She put her head down so no one would see her smiling
sheepishly to herself.
Her
eyes were getting heavy now. ‘Wouldn’t this class end already?’ she
thought. Slowly she felt herself dozing, drifting to her happy place
where everything seemed true and all her fantasies were realities. But
she was awoken by a soft tap on her shoulder, she wondered who would
want to talk to her and deprive her of her time to herself. She really
just wanted to rest and day dream and maybe go over what she had read
for her test later on in her head.
She sighed deeply and reluctantly she raised her head.....
....to
be continued.
