Story of You & Me

You (Back to School)

19th of Oct

Dear You,

I was so excited to see you today that I woke up early and had a smile plastered on my face. The Sisters said that I had that 'bounce' in my step that they questioned me about it. Sister Anna (the youngest nun at the age of 23) was teasing me and pointed out that it was a boy. And indeed it was you.

I walked to my locker and sure enough, I saw you down the hall with your best buds. You were laughing at something they said, it lightens up your face and the light behind you cast a halo around you. That made me smile and made my day.

Hyun and I met in the hallway and soon enough we are engaged in a conversation. I didn't notice that you are approaching and the next thing I know we collide with each other.

You steadied me and grab my waist while my face was at your chest and holy cow, you smell divine! A mixture of woody, spicy and musky scent.

I looked up and found you staring at me with a smile on your face and worried eyes.

"Are you okay?" I think I forgot to breathe and I think the time stops. Its as if the background stays still and we are the only one matters at the moment.

"Raegan? Ms. Griffin? Are you okay?" Again I didn't respond, its because I cant. Its as if my vocal chord is gone and my voice vanished in thin air. I smacked my head mentally and focused myself not to be a bigger fool in front of him.

I just nod. Cool right? FYI, I'm cringing right now as I am recalling that moment.

You grab my arms and looked at me from head to foot for inspection and when you noticed that no harm was done and I was just staring at you wide-eyed, you smiled.

Then again, the world is buzzing around us and the time continues. Hyun grabbed my hand and ushered me to our first subject. I looked back at you and sure enough you are looking back at me. Cue to my face to become crimson.

Packets and packets of assignments and projects are in my table while my best friend Hyun is nowhere in sight. She texted me earlier that she has a dentist's appointment so she was excused earlier.

As I was reading my syllabus in Math, you sat right in front of me and we had our short staring contest. You had that curiosity in your eyes, mine was bewilderment. Then you smiled.

"Ms. Griffin, I think everywhere I go, I see you. Are you stalking me?" You lean closer to me as if daring me to answer you negatively but you are wrong.

During our staring contest, I noticed the minute details on your face. You had a small freckles (barely noticeable) in your nose which are so adorable, small mole in your lower left lips and your amazing dark eyes.

"And why will you say that I was stalking you, Mr. Winters?" Was my sassy reply and earned me a smirk from you, clearly you were curious and awed that I don't stutter and make a fool of myself anymore but deep down I was like screaming and fangirling.

We talked for a few minutes but I feel like it was hours. You just asked if I was okay from the accident and from earlier in the hallway and wish me luck at my assignments and projects.

You see, moments like this is like one in a million chance and luckily enough I got to spend it with you. I will treasure these small moments with you until the end. That's for sure.

From,
Me
