      SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

      Her name was Samantha, but she just went by Sam. She had long, smooth dark hair that came to just above the middle of her back. Her hair matched perfectly against her pale skin, and striking ice blue eyes. I would only get a glimpse of her eyes every so often, because she would rarely look up from her notebook. And when she would look up, she had almost a timid look in her eyes.

      How could eyes so beautiful look so scared?

      I couldn't figure it out until I heard the comment that was made when I was told to go sit by her in biology class. In his eyes, it was a joke, made to make him and his friends laugh. However, in her eyes, it was a form of abuse that she was forced to suffer through.

      Why? Why would someone make such a remark about such a beautiful girl? I know that this is high school, and I know how cruel kids can be, but I just still cannot understand. I don't really think there is a way to make me understand such a thing.

      She was kind, too. Her small but generous smile would dance onto her lips and it nearly caused my heart to skip a beat. She was just so beautiful.

      I had only spoken a 'hello' to her when I knew that I was going to have to try and figure her out. How could I not? She was a mystery. A closed off, guarded mystery that I was going to have to figure out.

      I also had the sudden urge to protect Sam. It seemed to me that she needed it. I needed to help her break out of her shell. Instead of timidly looking up from her books I wanted her to laugh loudly and beautifully. Instead of sitting hunched in a corner, I wanted her to dance wildly and without rules. I wanted her to be the best version of herself. She is so young, she has so much to offer and give, and I feel as though I would be doing Sam and the world a disservice if I didn't do so.

      I don't really know what this is. Maybe its a form of love at first sight, or maybe its just destiny and fate. I don't know, but I am going to find out.
