The first time I saw her was a year before she noticed me. She was in my virtual PE. I couldn't see her features really well back then as she always kept her video off. The first time I've ever noticed her was when she unmuted and asked a question. Her voice sounded sweet and innocent, I always liked that in a girl. I quickly tried finding who that was and saw her name was Ari Kumaran. I couldn't see her features clearly when she turned on the camera, but I noticed her room was aesthetically pleasing. She held pictures on the left side of her and her room was swarming with plants and flowers everywhere. It was like a greenhouse, it looked peaceful.
A few more days later during summer, I went to the park nearby our house. Maybe 2 or 3 streets away? I was swinging with my sister on the other swing when I heard that voice, this time it sounded full of life and happiness that I didn't hear before. Before I turned around the girl dashed to the bench with 2 of her other friends, she was laughing and talking to her friends. Without knowing I smiled and continued to look at her. At that moment it felt like I was waiting for this, like I knew it was going to happen. I didn't know why but it also felt like a familiar memory.
She had hazel green eyes, olive-colored skin, slightly beach washed dark brown hair, and an hourglass-shaped body that was slightly rounded. She had defined curves and eyebrows; her eyes were as deep as forest. I felt like I was being taken into those eyes, I looked away. Not because I didn't like her, but because that day I figured she was going to be my biggest mistake. I clearly couldn't handle looking into her eyes. They carried a power that was going to put me under a spell that I wouldn't be able to get out of. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall for anyone, but that promise seemed to not be able to stand against her.
The next day I went to the park again, hoping I'd see her. Just like I'd hoped she came 10 minutes after I came. Some of the people I usually talk to were there, so I just ended up talking to them near the slides. She and her friends started running to the swing and started to talk about something. The only thing I heard was the name "Amon".
I thought she was maybe dating someone already because she looked passionate about the topic, and she also was smiling brightly. I mean why wouldn't a girl like her be taken already I thought. After some more time they moved to the bench in front of the slides, me and friends by then started to play a game. I didn't notice how close she was as I became involved in the game. She was 3 feet and I mean exactly 3 feet away from me. She started making this weird biting her lip and putting her hand under her chin in a checkmark sign to her friend. I smiled again, she looked adorable like a 6-year-old girl, and it made me like her more.
I didn't notice how much I'd fall for her in a span of 3 days, but I fell for her. The problem wasn't exactly falling for her but was for me to control myself, so I won't get hurt again. I needed to get control of myself.
