Falling in Love
A guy like Nick is not one to glance at any girl and not one to fall in love with one particular girl. The moment he saw Lilian, however, he was instantly struck by the beauty that she possessed. In terms of appearance, Lilian is a rather ordinary girl; she has any characteristic that you can find in any other person. Even though she was born without a birthmark, freckles, or any unusual eye color, she still seems to stand out amongst the crowds for him.
Since he saved her from her abusive ex, Nick kept finding her from every corner of his eyes, at first it would be irritating, and these unknown new feelings. But gradually, he became more and more attracted to her.
Even though he had a girlfriend before, Lilian wasn't like any of his typical girl types, Lilian was too innocent, nice, and calm. The total opposite of his type but here he was in the cafeteria with Dalton joking around, whereas Nick had his eyes on the girl seated far and alone.
He could see the way she was sitting, her long legs crossed and her hair falling on her shoulders, and he could see the way she looks at the scenery, totally innocent and unaware of his presence.
"Dude, you listening?" Dalton was looking at Nick, "I can't believe you're staring at her again, go and talk to her!" Nick had to shake his head to make sure he wasn't dreaming, no one in the cafeteria was staring at her like he was, making him frown at the lack of appreciation she was getting.
"Nah, she doesn't even look like the one to talk with someone like me," Nick mumbles as he moves his attention to his food, glancing at his sister and group of friends that are seated beside him and Dalton but they didn't notice their topic.
"I'm never gonna talk to her. I could never be with someone like that." Nick said as he took a bite of his food, "I just cannot, it's to cliché." Despite Nick's conviction that he will never speak with Lilian, the fact that she was sitting there all alone and not aware of his presence stung him to the core.
Dalton sigh, his been pushing Nick to try and talk with Lilian but the man's too stubborn. They become silent as Nick zone out in his thoughts, Dalton moved his attention to the group beside them, now seeing how Paige had a smirk towards them as she stares between Nick and Lilian.
"What?" Dalton question quietly with a raised eyebrow. "Lilly, huh?" Paige spoke up, moving her attention to Nick and Dalton now, Nick perking his head out at the nickname from Paige. "Fun fact, we're childhood friends and neighbors."
Nick rolls his eyes, "So?"
"So," Paige smiled, "She told me about your heroic act, and how you saved her from her abusive ex." Nick furrowed his eyebrows, "She did?"
"Yeah," Paige nodded as if it was so obvious already, "You should talk with her, she's been bothering herself and how to talk with you." Nick's eyes widen, somewhat blushing that no one caught on, Dalton applauding for his friend as he slaps his back, "Now that's a sign! What's stopping you now?"
Nick looks at Lilian, she was so oblivious to the attention she was getting, just sitting there and enjoying the scenery.
