01. a glance

the first day,

the day it all began. 

a wet and windy tuesday

unremarkable, indistinguishable from any other

completely normal, 

just like her. 

but he didn't seem to think so

at least, 

thats what it seemed like 

when he gave her his first gift

a glance. 

it was short

fleeting, cursory, 

but when his eyes met hers

it felt like he saw her 

not the clothes that she wore or the books that she carried

just

her. 

but then he carried on, 

the tide of students drew him away. 

and although she didn't cross paths with him again that day,

he crossed her mind

every minute of it.
