I don't even know her

A Story by Latisha AS

Every day I grew more and more obsessed, she was like a drug and I was the stupid teenager who got addicted. Every little thing about her made me fall deeper and deeper in love. She was my muse, she was like a canvas and I was the lovestruck artist who couldn't stop drawing. She was intoxicating, I wanted her more than anything but I was too shy to even say hello.

Weeks went by and I've only embarrassed myself in front of her. The words would completely disappear from my head and I end up stutter like a fool. I've never been so scared in my life but anyone with that much beauty wouldn't want to be seen with me.

Today I saw her in the hallway and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was stunning from head to toe. The way her long brown hair carelessly drifted in the air was jaw-dropping. Her lips were painted my favorite shade of red and her eyes sparkled every time she blinked. She wore a short black tight dress with socks that went all the was up to her thighs and a knitted blue cardigan.

I see her all the time, I feel like I know her but I don't and it's eating me away. I see her at the library lots and I've read books she's read to feel closer to her but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm confused by her, I'm trying to figure out who she is but every time I find out something new the last thing I've found out doesn't make sense.

~~I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. I need to know her. THATS ALL I THINK ABOUT.~~

A couple days have gone by and I haven't seen her once, I'm kinda worried it's like this empty feeling. I miss her but I don't know what to miss, she's all I want and I can't even find the words to tell her.

I bumped into her in the library and finally built up the courage to ask her out. We're going to the bar for some drinks, she told me she drinks a lot but I could never even imagine her with a can of beer. It took me by surprise, she looks so innocent and sweet why would she ever ruin that with alcohol.
