Red Butterfly

How It All Began

Jason was watching her, ever since he laid eyes on her.

Jason couldn't believe it : it was love at first sight. He couldn't resist her eyes, her nose, her lips...

She was so beautiful...

He fell in love, hard. He smacked the ground, with a cow shoving his head inside its poo.

That's how hard he fell.

He couldn't stop his mind from thinking about her. He couldn't stop his heart from skipping a few beats every now and then when he saw her. He couldn't stop the stutters of his tongue as he thinks of speaking to her. He couldn't stop the faint blush from appearing on his cheeks as he gets flustered. 

But most importantly...

He couldn't stop from falling in love with her.

Every day, his passion for her grew. Every day, his admiration for her grew. Every day, his love for her grew.

And so, he decided that he had to talk to her, at some point.

Therefore... he did.

Shakily taking baby steps towards her, she was standing there with her few close friends, as they chatted about anything, really.

"U-Uh... Ella...? Do you... Do you have a minute...?" Jason shyly approaches, talking with a lot of difficulty.

Her friends nudged Ella, and they giggled, leaving Jason and Ella alone.

Her bright sea green eyes were perfectly complimenting her nice brown hair, that was falling all over her shoulders. Her brilliant, to-die-for smile was absolutely magnificient. As she spoke, her silky, mesmerizing voice was encasing Jason in a trance, yet he couldn't hear a word she said, as her moving lips captivated his attention.

"Hello?" Ella asks, waving her petite hand in front of Jason's face, snapping him out of his daydream.

"O-Oh! Yea-Yeah?" He answers, obviously surprised.

Ella chuckled, smiling up to Jason's slightly taller figure, and taking in his appearance. He had medium length black hair, and pale honey eyes that fit his personnality perfectly :  his shy and awkward state made her feel refreshed. No guy have ever been this cute, she had thought. Catching herself in her own thoughts, she got slightly flustered, as a barely noticeable pink hue spread over her defined cheekbones.

Jason, being the admiring observer of Ella's, obviously wouldn't miss that tiny little detail, which only made his heart beat faster for the girl in front of him.

Here goes... Jason thinks.

"I... I would like to be your friend, ah, only if you want to tho! I wouldn't want to be unwanted company for you, or bother you, or-or, well, just, be a-"

He was cut off by Ella laughing her heart out.

He was shocked, and didn't know how to react, standing there with a starteld expression as his crush stood in front of her, smiling and laughing, wiping a tear away from her eye.

"Wah, I'm sorry for laughing! It's just that, you're so cute, and I couldn't help myself but to laugh. I hope you can forgive me. Of course I'd like to be your friend! You seem like a sweet guy. I bet nobody can turn down a little puppy like you."

At those words, Jason's face turned completely red, from the neck up until the ears.

"H-Huh?" He stuttered, still confused, but mostly flustered from such an unexpected reaction.

"Ah, please forgive me. I haven't introduced myself correctly, now have I?" Ella smiles, and puts her hand out for him to shake.

"My name is Ella. Ella Filler. What about you?" She offered him a closed eye smile, tilting her head slightly to the left.

"A-A-Ah! I am Jason! Jason Demirez, at your service!" Jason semi-yells out of nervosity, and bows down a solid 90 degree bow, hitting his head against her hand.

Ella giggles, as Jason is sweating and nervously shaking, still in his bowing position.

"Get up, silly boy. Here, shake my hand! We are now officially friends!" Ella smiles happily.

Jason looks up, and hesitantly takes her hand, shaking it gently.

And this, is how it all began.
