Seth Tyler Olsen
I still remember the time when
she was only a new student. . .
I was rummaging through my locker
when suddenly,
someone bumped into me.
I turned around,
and found a petite girl standing there.
Her eyes are widened from shock.
Apologizing meekly,
for being clumsy and bumping into me.
But man I'll never forget,
how her voice sounded so smooth.
So rich and soft that I can almost feel it,
beneath my bones.
And in her eyes.
There is something in her eyes
that is simply enchanting,
and captivating to look at.
I suddenly found myself drowning,
lost in an ocean depth.
By just staring on its sea deep,
blue intensity.
I'm not sure how long, I bluntly stared at her.
But when the bell rang,
signaling that the classes are about to start,
I closed my locker-
not quite feeling like myself anymore.
And quickly proceeded
on the room where it all started.
_._.._._.._._
"You must be the new student,
please introduce yourself."
Our physics teacher said.
Upon hearing those uttered words,
it caught my full attention.
I broke my gaze on the window,
and soon found myself face to face
with the girl that I recently bumped into,
earlier that day.
"I'm Crystal Sapphire Emerald Stone."
She began.
And just like that,
whispers and whistles
started to spread like a plague.
But she continued, all the same.
"I came from Riverview high,
you can call me Sapph."
She said in a voice so soft,
just like in our first encounter before.
"Alright, you can sit beside Mr. Olsen.
Seth, kindly raise your hand."
And so did I.
For the second time around,
our eyes meet.
And a blush rose into her cheeks.
She then avert her eyes,
willing it to focus more into something.
To anything but me.
"So, for today,
I'll introduce to you your project."
A collective groans,
sounded through the room.
"And your seatmate, my dear students,
would definitely be your partner."
"So you better be acquainted,
because you've got no choice
but to work on your report,
together with him or her
until the end of this semester."
