Dear You From Me [Short Story]

Dear You From Me.

Dear,
You.

"This wasn't planned. Nothing is ever planned. I walked into that school year ready to be an "A" straight student.

I was suppose to do all my homework, but instead I daydreamed about you.

I was suppose to walk in with full confidence, but instead I walked out with insecurities.

Don't worry I learned a lot, so thank you.

As of right now, my heart is beating, my mind is confused, and I have no idea what to type next!

Let me just tell you how it started.

He walked into my class. I didn't notice him at first, because I only notice those with looks...yeah that's pretty rude I know.

After talking and getting to know him, I started noticing him.

He noticed me too, is what I thought. We would do what any other teenagers would do, flirt, tease, annoy, and help eachother.

Then one day, everything just fell into place. We were in class doing our work, when all of a sudden he whispers my name.

"Betty, here" he said. I turned to him and in his hand he had a pink origami bird.

You have no idea, how much this tiny pink paper made me feel. It made my day.

From that moment on, I made sure to keep myself calm and collected around you. I remember gushing over you to my best friend, she would say "why him?"

I would reply.

"I really don't know" and smile as I held onto the origami in my hand.

I remember you would be so close to me, your skin touching mine as we worked on sheets.

Your jokes that weren't even funny, but made me laugh anyway, and your cute attempts to sound cool.

Well to me, you were perfect. Your flaws were beauty to me, your teeth were pearls, and your personality was treasure.

You would think, "oh okay so she liked him...a lot" yeah I did. I liked him so much I swear, I felt a spark one day.

We both connected that day, you smiled at me. I smiled back and we didn't lost eye contact until you got lost in the crowd of people.

I knew he felt it too. People can feel it, they can.

I liked you so much, I even told my family about you! I don't do that stuff.

Days went on.
You stilled stayed.

Our moments kept going.
My affection kept growing.

You brought the worst of me out, but saw the best of me within. 

You stood for me when I couldn't myself.

I wasn't suppose to like someone.

Out of seven million people in this world.
It had to be you.

I wouldn't change this though, I wouldn't change you. "

From,
Me.
