                         Flashback

Lara was walking home, when this guy passed by, and wow this guy smells nice. He had a nice perfume on. she couldn't see his face,but then on another occasion,she got to see his face. "wow this guy is really handsome" she said to herself. With his nice haircut and cute smile .his eyes were dark,and round .he had a long face too .He had a really nice physique. Broad shoulders,deep voice,and he was just perfect, she thought. Just then he smirked. "Oh my goodness"Lara said out loud .she didn't even realise,when she did so .she felt  so embarrassed she had to hurry home .she kept thinking about this guy. He was all in her head.she could feel the butterflies in her belly,when ever she saw him .This was a feeling she  couldn't explain.

Coming back from Church that evening, she met this guy. She didn't even realise when she started smiling" hi,I'm Michael "he said, with his arm stretched out,for a handshake............a snap Of his finger,brought Lara back to reality .she didn't even realise she was lost in thought. She had already began to imagine crazy scenes in her Head . she felt like the whole world around her was muted,and all she could see was his bright dark eyes" uhm ....uhm......yea uhm Lara,Lara is the name" she  said,snapping and waking up from her day dream .just then, she realised his outstretched arm,and reached out to him for a handshake .his hand was so soft,she didn't wanna let go. Immediately, she casted her gaze on the floor as she couldn't look him directly in the face .she was really shy, as she has never been in such a situation.

Lara couldn't tell if Michael said any other thing,but the last thing she could hear before he went away,was "see you around" .she watched him walk Majestically like a gentleman,while she went on her way,smiling. She couldn't even stop smiling. She got home beaming with smiles as everything around her,seemed to revolve around Michael. Finally,this guy talked to her.

She would steal glances at him,whenever she passed,and saw him with his friends, and she would immediately turn or look away,before he r
ealises................she was busy contemplating,or rather soliloquizing, when her mum walked in on her. Lucky enough, mum didn't hear anything ."could it be that I have a crush on Michael?" She thought aloud.
    Coming online that evening on her social media app she saw a message, from an unknown contact "hi its Michael, I hope you do remember me?" The message read .Lara was so happy and anxious at the same time,she couldn't explain how she felt,but she was really happy .her crush texted her. "Wooooow"Michael was very hilarious,and he knew exactly how to keep the conversation going as he said the right things at the right time .they stayed up really late that night,talking about random stuffs .she was really enjoying the whole conversation, as she wished it didn't end .his vibes was on a whole different level.

They finally bade each other goodbye for the day,and went off to sleep, with Michael in her head......could she even get him out of her head?she couldn't help it
