They Thought

prologue

June
I barely ever saw him laugh, but when I
did it was usually a sunny day. I liked to think it was sunny because of him.

He was like the light seeping through dark gloomy skies. He was the good guy, the guy with a heart of gold. People were oblivious to it since his typical high school jock mask had become thick, but I saw it. I knew what was underneath.

I never really fantasized about me being in his arms as we watched the "scariest movie" that was being shown one night at the cinema. I didn't dream about him either, it was like, he was too good for that. Too good to be stuck in a girls cheesy fantasies.

Call me obsessed but I call it mere admiration. He wasn't like the rest, he didn't get caught up in the normal high school boy shenanigans, he was pure.

I guess it was no secret that it wasn't only admiration, but nothing too close to love. I always remembered the borders between our worlds, the average introvert teenage girl and the popular jock guy. Those worlds barely ever met.

You're probably fawning over the existence of a boy like this, I don't blame you. But soon, both you and I will realise this was only a fantasy and my childish imagination.

Jesse
Her smile was so genuine, so real. It was nothing like the flirtatious smiles I got from practically every girl who passed me. It had meaning, and it never looked forced.

She shined as bright as crystal. She stood out to me and I never realised why. People would think I'm crazy, all these beautiful girls sat at my table everyday but I only had my eyes on one. One who I'd never shared a thing but a glance with.

I thought about her a lot, I wouldn't say fantasies but I debated what would happen in different scenarios. If we were partnered up for a project? If we bumped into each other in the hallways? Everyday it was one thing or the other.

I had set my eyes on her in our sophomore year and tried to find out who she was. It may sound as if I'm a stalker but I was drawn to her, she drew me in. She seemed so fresh, she didn't seem to have the same delusions some other girls had.

I wouldn't call it love at first sight but it definitely was something. If love at first sight was possible, a connection at first sight must be too. It wasn't her looks, it was just her. As different as we were I knew something was there, but did she know it too?

It's crazy, a girl I've never talked to I thought about everyday. I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to be friends or I wanted to be something more. But soon I'd ruin that, I'd ruin it horribly.
