She sat in the shadow of a tree, near the river. Everyday she was here. From early morning till late evening. And nobody except her knew why. Sometimes she had a book with herself but didn't read it. Just looked in the pages trying to understand what actually is life and why it's so different in books.

Today she just watched river with empty eyes. Today was one of those days, when she was feeling worthless. She knew that nobody cares about her and that life can be really cruel to her. But what she didn't knew is that there was a boy who always was sitting on a bench and looking at her trying to fight the desire to come near her and destroy the peaceful atmosphere that she had around herself.

He came here only for that girl, who slowly was changing his life, even if he didn't know her. Little things that she done somehow stayed in his memory. Like the way she scrunched her nose when she would realise that the day would end soon and it was time to go home. He liked when her eyes, which reminded him chocolate, looked at things with so much mystery. The freckles on her pale face made her even more beautiful. Ashton didn't know anyone who could be this beautiful and hold so much mystery. He liked people with a story and he knew she definately had one. 

Ashton was just a normal boy with a few friends who helped him through rough times. But what he needed the most was to feel the happiness again. He needed someone who could help him with that, who he could love with all his heart and be the better person that he is. And deep down he was thinking that this mistery girl could help him.
