I was staring right into Dylan Gabriel Walker's hazel green eyes. He was 5,9 and strong built. He had exactly 23 freckles around his nose and on his cheeks and he had big manly hands with a scar on the back of his left hand. I don't know how long i was lost in his eyes but it was long enough to make a permanent copy of his face in the back of my head. "Hey" he finally said. "H..h..ey" i clumsely responded. He had a large grin on his face and i noticed he also had the cutest dimples. Dylan was that guy in every school that every girl wants but only the popular mean girl gets. That popular mean girl at my school was Lianne, Dylan's girlfriend of 5 months. So what was he doing out here in the woods? Has he been following me all day? Why? And most importantly: did he see me wearing only a bra and a pair of jeans? "Did i scare you?" he asked. "Just a little" i answered. "I'm sorry.." He said. "It's okay". Another awkward silence as he turned to walk away. "I said it's okay" i said louder. "yeah i know" he replied with his back to me, still walking away. "Then why are you leaving?" I asked. "Don't you mean why i'm here?" He turned around with his arms open and a half smile on his face. If we were in love this is how i'd want us to hug everytime: i'd run towards him and jump in his arms as he'd catch me like i'm weightless and then we'd gently move our lips towards eachother... Shit. I had been daydreaming and i hadn't realised he walked away. I grabbed my bag and ran towards the exit of the forest. My bike was there but he wasn't. I decided to go back home and started to plan how i would approach him the next day at school. At home i did some research on him on facebook and instagram. He didn't seem like the type to fall for a girl like me. Until i got a friend request from him. My heart stopped and i must've shrieked because Alice came running into my room yelling "WHAT HAPPENED". Since i was unresponsive she came over and took my laptop off my bed. "NOO WAAYYY" she shrieked. She put my laptop down and pulled me off my bed. "YOU GOT A FRIEND REQUEST FROM FREAKING DYLAN WALKER". She waitingly stared at me. "Y..yeah" is all i could manage to let out.
The next day at school during the first break Alice and i were walking towards our other friends at the other side of the cafeteria when i noticed him sitting there. Lianne standing behind him with her hands on her shoulders, talking to the other popular girls. He was just about to take a sip of his gatorade when our eyes met. He held the drink half way in the air as his eyes traced my every step until i sat down and looked away. "What are you smiling about, weirdo?" Asked my friend Jace. I didn't know i was smiling and i couldn't seem to stop. "Are you high?" Asked Alice in serious tone. I looked at her and pulled the straightest face i could. "No." After asking a few more questions and me carefully dodging them, they gave up. That's when i took the courage to turn my head and look into Dylan's direction. He was gone. The whole popular squad was. I was dissapointed and couldn't get the feeling out of my mind. I was acting crazy right? He just followed me after school and send me a friend request on facebook. That doesn't mean anything. I'm just crushing on him like the rest of the girls at school.
After school i went to the woods and immediately took out my sketch book. I sat down and leaned against one of the fallen treetrunks that were part of the walls around the clearing. I took out my phone, put in my earplugs and blasted the volume to my favourite playlist. I started drawing a few random shapes and i just let my mind wander. After a while i saw him walk towards me. I was paralized. Is he coming here everyday now? Did i just lose whatever privacy i had? He came and sat down next to me. I pulled out one earplug and looked at him. He sat so close to me, i automatically started counting his freckles to see if they were all still there. "Butterflies eh? Who are they for?" He asked. "No one in particular" i blushed. I had no idea that's what i drew. "Hmmm sure". He mumbled as he smiled. "So you're stalking me everyday now?" I joked. I don't know where i got the confidence though. "I guess so" he answered. "Why?" I looked him in the eyes to make sure he wouldn't lie. "Something about you really makes me want to know you better". I didn't know how to respond. He said it so seriously that his voice echoed in my head. "It kinda gives me butterflies too" he said as he got up. I didn't want him to leave. But those last few words were just too much. I watched him leave. I GAVE HIM BUTTERFLIES.
