A Story by AutumnRhaine

Standing in this crowded room full of partying people there's girls dancing, boys playing games, and then there's me… my friend brought me with but she has other friends that she's here with. She ran off and left me here alone. I got myself a drink and stood in the corner by myself. I feel the feeling you feel when someone is staring at you, so i look around to see you staring at me, with those bright blue eyes and your long curly brown hair. You smile when you see me look back at you. I get chills up my spine and i look away. I love that smile. We have only talked a few times in our classes, I didn't even know you knew who i was. I glance back your way to see if you were still looking, and you were! Why out of this house full of hundreds of kids did you choose to see me. I look around to see if maybe you were looking at someone else but there was no one around me for you to be looking at. I look back at you and you shake your head at me as if to tell me i'm the one you have your eyes on. You start to walk towards me and i get butterflies in my stomach, why are you coming over here. You stand in front of me and don't say a word, you just smile. My heart beats a million beats per second as i can smell your cologne. Its as if time has stopped, like everything is frozen. You smile at me again, and say the first word. “Hi.” that's all you say. I just stand there and smile as if you just gave me an amazing prize. “Hey.” that's all i could come up with, “hey.” and it's as if time just restarted, everyone came back and the music played loud as can be again. You take my hand and lead me outside where it is quiet. “ why were you standing there all alone?” you ask. “My friend left me for other friends and i had nothing else to do”. I say. “Why were you staring at me?” You laugh “because you were all alone, such a beautiful girl standing by herself kinda sticks out don't you think?” Beautiful! Did he, the most popular guy in school just call me beautiful? My heart is beating so fast now, after hearing that. I think to myself who put him up to this, who made him do this just for laughs. You wave your hand in front of my face, and i come back to reality. “You okay?” you say. I look at you and say “ did someone put you up to this?” you laugh and say “who would put me up to this?” I smile. He's really talking to me because he wants too.
