Romantic Love Story
The Day I Noticed
It was raining that day but the air was warm. I love
to get wet in the rain but did not get wet on that day
for some reason unknown to even myself. However, I remembered
seeing him on that day. It was a memory I will never forget.
We did not know each other in a dramatic way like those
seen in movies or romance novels but the way we met was
special and unique in its own way. I was staring at how
the droplets of water magically disappear upon hitting
the floor and leaving the floor wet when I saw him. He
was walking slowly to his third period class as I watched
him.
His hair was completely wet and jet black. It gave me
the urge to pass my fingers through his curly hair. He
was tall at five feet eleven and had broad shoulders that
made him look very athletic. I had never been interested
in guys that looked like him but something changed when
I saw his face. He had a complexion that would attract
you to him, an oval face with a thin roman nose and full
cherry red lips. His eyebrows were thickly arched and
dark, which contrasted with his pale skin. He had perfect
almond shaped eyes that were jade green and had specks
of ocean blue. They made my heart beat faster and cause
my blood to rush through the veins and explode in the
cheeks. He looked my way and turned away as though seeing
nothing important or significant.
"Ashley?"
My friend Dianne called me.
"Are you listening?" She asked.
She had caught me off guard.
"Ugh?" I said, turning to look at her and forgetting
about him.
"Thanks Ashley." She said sarcastically and
we walked to class together.
The next day I saw him again in the morning and there
was still about twenty minutes left before the bell rang
for class.
"Do you know what time it is?" He asked me with
a light husky voice and a British accent that gave my
goose bumps.
"Umm... Yeah." I said looking at my watch, clearly
nervous.
"It’s about 7.05 a.m."
"Thank you." He replied and smiled, displaying
his dimples.
He looked confused after that as his mind seemed to be
debating on whether to go or to stay.
"Do you mind if I wait for the bell with you?"
He asked me.
Blood rushed to my cheeks and I was reminded of how I
hated my light-coloured skin which makes my blushing very
noticeable.
We talked for what seemed like ages as he told me about
his life and I told him about mine. He seemed to laugh
a lot when I talked about myself. My life was quite funny
and dorky while his was classic and elegant. He was seventeen
and I was fifteen. He was a senior and I was a sophomore.
After that, we seemed to have become friends and we would
hang out together during lunch although not everyone though
it was cool for a senior to be seen with a sophomore.
However, that's something I love about him. He didn't
care what others thought.
Months passed and the feelings I had for him grew stronger.
That's when I decided it was time to tell him what I felt.
I couldn't hide it anymore. On April 14th, we went to
the park together and we got onto swings that were side
by side.
"Can I tell you something?" I asked him.
"Sure." He replied.
"What do you do if you like a person? Do you tell
them?"
"Well it depends." He said.
"On what?"
"Well I wouldn't actually know how to answer that
question. I'm still in a dilemma as I am exactly in the
same situation." He said and my heart sank.
It was obvious. I should have known that a senior and
a sophomore would never work out. He probably saw me as
his little sister.
"Oh." was all I could muster up as a reply.
"Can you come with me? I want to show her to you.
She's here." He said.
He held my hand as he got off the swing. It had become
a norm for him to hold my hand, but he would only hold
it as a friend. He walked me halfway across the park and
there they were. There was a group of girls his age laughing
and talking about fashion.
"See the girl with the pink shirt and blond hair?"
He asked me and I nodded.
"That's not her." He said.
As I turned to look at him, he pressed his lips against
mine. I stood there motionless, still in shock. He broke
off and looked at me.
"I apologize, I just..." He began to say something
but I cut him off.
"You like me?" I asked absolutely confused.
"If you don't want me to I won't." he said timidly.
"No! I mean I’m sorry. It's just that I had
never been kissed till now. So I just don't know how to
react." I said and he smiled.
"I guess I can teach you." He said and chuckled
as we tried it one more time and he kissed me and I kissed
him back.
