The Fateful Encounter

William's P.O.V.

This time I drove to Maya's party alone. This maya chic seems pretty cool. I mean, she throws really sick parties almost every weekend. Again, i was in the kitchen, my head stuck into the heaven of beer bottles inside maya's fridge. The DJ got us falling in love again was on the speakers and I couldn't help, but show my sick moves while, standing on the countertop.

As I twirled around and closed my eyes, smiling, I remembered my sister in a pink tutu performing a beautiful belle dance and making me proud.

Something, more like, someone's head came in the way of my leg which was in the air..."Aah shit!" Yeah, that was me screaming like a little girl when I realised that i was going to fall on my ass. I was waiting for the floor to embrace me when two fragile arms caught me. When i opened my eyes I was surprised to see the nerdie's forest green eyes, from last week, staring back at me.

It was as if I was locked in a trance. Those eyes were the colour of the snowy, moist, green alpine trees. Yeah, I am obsessed with alpine trees. I couldn't wrap my head around how beautiful they were when an electric blue nail coloured finger settled the glasses more properly on a nose and blocked my view.

"So elegantly graceful," she remarked sarcastically. With that, the support of her arms was gone and I landed on the floor.

"Aw. Isn't it nice to see you again in the same place on the same counter-top?! Oh my God! This is fate," I said.

"You are fucked up in the head, you flamingo. My head hurts!"

I tried to stand up and i heard her say, "be careful! I am not going to catch you this time."

"Yeah, please be nice and don't. You only caught me to let me fall." I grinned drunkenly at her. I stood up off the floor just to flop down beside her on that damned counter-top.

"So, how's life?" I asked her.

"Why do you ask?" I saw her flipping through the pages of some TEXT BOOK. Such a nerd.

"Just for the sake of killing boredom," I replied. And all I got in return was a poker-face and then she went back to reading.

I had come out in the backyard where it was extremely peaceful. I could see Jimmy playing beer pong with some jocks near the pool and when he saw me he gestured for me to join them. I was not really in the mood for some human interaction. Specially not with some not-so-human humans so, I shooed him away. I just wanted to drink in peace. I sat on a swing while sipping from my bottle.I love looking at the stars and can even name a few constellations. i began naming and counting them on my finger, but stopped when i heard the swing beside mine rattle. Caroline said there on the swing beside mine in all her nerdie glory. Her long, dark, shiny hair flew behind her as she swung back and forth. 

"It has always fascinated me how people are able to remember the names of like loads of constellations.  i have always failed at it." She said, looking up at the sky with those forest green eyes of hers. 

I never really noticed how beautiful she is. with those dark hair and those eyes. God, those eyes. they look so fascinating. Her eyes were like i don't know, closed books? those books with amazing covers that make you want to just open them and read them and get lost in them. She's intriguing, i came to the conclusion.
