Love at First Swap.

LAFS : part 1

First sight



So a bus crossed my eyes, all I saw was a girl sitting at the window side looking out, imagining things, searching for answers of unknown questions. She looked downhearted.

"Did I really see what I saw.? Then I need to hurry" I was thinking while started paddling my cycle.

I started following a red school bus for a strange girl, I had no control on myself, my eyes just wanted to have one more sight of hers. I was focussing on just one thing was that bus. I didn't let that bus out of my sight. After 30 minutes of paddling, bus finally stopped. My throat dried up, I could even drink the whole water of the earth that time. It felt like death but also immense happiness to see her one more time. The bus stopped and so was I, but I couldn't stand, I fell down to the ground beside with my bicycle having my eyes on the exit of the bus.

Everyone was getting down, but my eyes were searching for the very person responsible for my very high speed of heartbeat, for breathing like I'm at the highest altitude, even couldn't feel the legs of mine, it became numb after cycling that much. Everyone was but she wasn't getting down.

"Was I following the right bus.?"

"Yes, this is the right bus."

"Are you sure"

"Shut up and focus on the exit, she'll come", I was murmuring to myself as I was perplexed.

"Wait why everything moving slowly.?"

"Look there." I said to myself.

She was on the exit coming down slowly. She looked right of the bus and saw me with so much affection in her eyes, okay just kidding she didn't see me as she didn't know me, she just saw right of the bus while getting down without even noticing me, but I noticed everything in that fraction of second. She had shining cosmic eyes, her both cheeks were pink as petals, hairs were talking with the wind, everything was looking beautiful even my pain felt happiness.

I never thought anyone like her did even exist.

She got down and I stood up. She walked 10 steps further to sit on the bench while everyone else went directly inside the school. She was still searching for answers alone, I didn't know if she could speak.

"What are you doing here" a distant faint voice I heard which I ignored.

"What the hell are we doing here, we should be at our school, why are we even here.?" My friend shouted at me as he came along with me.

" I didn't tell you to follow me" I said with a soft voice while watching the girl sitting on that bench.

She had a flower in her hands now, and I didn't know from where did that come from.

"How can a person look more beautiful than a flower" I asked my friend while being lost in her.

"Which person? What flower?" He asked annoyingly.

"There" I pointed my finger to her.

I started walking near to her while not paying attention to anything in this world except her. As she stood to go, I shouted "stop"

She didn't look back to me but was standing still as she want me to go there to explain why did I tell her to stop. I was getting close to her but I was unable to speak a word after saying stop, I didn't know why I couldn't. Neither I was saying a word nor did she. She wasn't even looking at me, she was still lost somewhere. I thought she really couldn't speak at all. Even I was speechless that time even if I am not an introvert. After a long pause of us, she broke the silence not by saying a word but by sitting and picking out a pen out of her bag. I didn't know why did she do so. She pulled my hand then and started writing on my palm, I had no idea what she was writing because I was staring at her face which was so beautiful from that close, I wish I could live my life that close to her. She then got up and started walking away after writing. I was just looking at the way she was walking, her hair still talking to the wind, i was amazed why the hell wind is blowing just around her why the hell everything blurred except her. I didn't think she is any ordinary girl.

"Where did she go" I asked surprisingly as she vanished.

"She was in front of you, she went while your eyes on her, still asking where did she go!" My friend said annoyingly as we missed our school and the reason was me.

"what did she write on your palm?" he came to me and asked.

"Did she?" I said and looked at my palm.
