Today I woke up like any other day or at least I thought it was. I got myself ready even though I wasn't feeling like going to school, you know, the usual. I arrived and something really weird happened that day as I was walking to take the elevator to the fourth floor where my class is. I heard a group of people talking really loud but I decided to ignore them. My back was turned to them as I was facing the elevator door, waiting for it to open. I finally got in, after 5 minutes of waiting and as I see the door closing I get a glance of this beautiful girl who for coincidence smiled back at me, she was sitting in the group that I was trying to ignore. It was perfectly timed. How did I never noticed her before? She is so beautiful I knew her smile was going to get suck in my head like that random song you hear and you can't stop replaying in your head. I don't know how but I just knew. Her smile was different.

I got out of the elevator and find my way to my class, a philosophy-real-boring-to-death class. I got in and the professor looked at me with certain hate, but none that I mind. I sat in my usual spot, in the back, next to the window. The professor keeps going with the lecture and I am here wondering about this girl. I got her smile stuck in my head. I just kept thinking of her. How comes that I never noticed her before, how? She is beautiful. She got this messy, curl-ish, red hair. She was not like the others, she didn't wear any makeup and still looked fresh and appealing. Yet there is something about her that makes me want to be around her more often and get to know her.I got out of the class and  I started seeing her everywhere, the hallway, the elevator, the stairs and her eyes couldn't stop flirting with mine and I couldn't help it either. But I felt myself being too shy to talk to her. That never happened to me before, I was used to talking to girls and getting everything I wanted but with her was different, she brought up this side of me that I wasn't aware off and we haven't spoken yet. I was decided to continue with my routine and let the perfect moment to approach her to come by itself and so I did. I went to my next three classes and my attention was always out of the room I was only thinking about our next encounter. Not like college wasn't my thing.

    Next thing I know I was walking out of my last class and I felt a strong coalition, I hit somebody. I look up and there she was. The girl from the smile. This time she looked sad like something happened to her, she quickly grabbed everything that was on the floor and everything I had on my hands that were hers and ran away. I couldn't say a word. But I had to chase her down as she ran to the parking lot. As I struggled to breathe I managed myself and yelled at her to stop running. She stopped and looked back at me, she was like 12 feet away from me and I asked her:

-Are you ok?

-I was ok- she replied looking angry

-You are beautiful and I am sorry to say it like this but I had to

-It's funny- She said angrily chuckling

-What's funny?- I asked her astonished.

-You didn't say that back in fifth grade- she said and started to cry of anger- I was the fatty, the ugly and the horrendous chick from the back seat according to you and your friends but yet I found myself falling for you and after all these years you didn't even notice me- she finished and wiped away her tears.

-But today I felt something different; something I have never felt before. You, your eyes I apologize for the past but I really would like to know you better. I can stop thinking of you.

-Yeah I know the feeling, but it is too late..........- she got hit by a car and dropped instantly dead in the same exact moment she finished her sentence.

My guess is that this was not meant to be a happy story at all. I felt sparkles and a thousand butterflies in my stomach just by seeing her once; I went crazy about her. I am feeling horrible, I could rip off my skin and the pain won't go away. It is somehow my fault because at the end of the day you don't know whose life you've been ruining and that karma definitely comes around.
