On That Stairs

On That Stairwell

              I never once thought that something like this could ever happen. My life was a very normal one, most people would say that it's a very boring one, with nothing interesting ever happening. My everyday life as a student was just wake up, get ready for school, attend school, come home, have lunch, bathe, do the homework my school teachers gave, do household chores, exercise, bathe, have dinner with my family, watch television then finally sleep. Everyday this would be my timetable for the day. Nothing ever changed, it was always just this same old boring agenda, as if my life was pre-programmed to be like this. That was until I met her, ever since then, nothing used to be like the way it used to be, everyday was different than before.

             I was a prefect, a student chosen amongst the others to lead the students and to mantain order and discipline of the students. Each prefect was assigned a place in the school where they are to duty there. Any disciplinary cases there are to be handled by the prefect on duty there. My duty place, the place I was assigned to was stair 6. On that day like any other, I was there doing my duty when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I thought it weird as that stairs was one which students rarely came down from due to it being very far from the canteen and the classes. It was a very quiet and lonely place yet there was someone coming down from it. I thought it would be a teacher then I thought that the teacher's room was on the 3rd floor so a teacher wouldn't bother using this stairs at all.

              When my mind was trying to figure out who it was coming down the stairs, a goddess suddenly appeared before me. She walked down the stairs so gracefully, her hair flowing behnind her like black silk, her eyes were small yet beautiful, her blue eyes were visible, her mouth was small yet beautifully pink, her nose was perfect too not high nor pointy just perfect and her specs rested on her just nicley. She was like an angel without wings that descended form the heavens, so elegant and stunning. I stood there paralyzed, mesmerized by the fact that such a person existed in my shool. She stopped in the nmiddle of the stairs and said, " Can I use this stairs?" Her voice was so melodius that I was in dreamland before I know it. I was brought back to reality when she said, "Hello? Can I use this stairs please?" I then noticed that I was standing smakc in the middle of the stairs, blocking her path down. 

            I hurriedly stepped aside and allowed her to pass me by. She then said thank you and continued down the stairs. My eyes followed her until she took the next bend and disappeared. I then snapped back to reality and was shocked to find that I had moved from my duty spot while my eyes followed her. I then returned to my duty spot and stood there, resuming my duty. My head on the other hand was spinning out of control trying to figure out who she was, which class was she from and why did she use this stairs, which was way farther compared to using stair 4 and 5. 

             The questions kept swirling inside my head until recess was over. As usual I had to stay there a while before I'm able to go back to my class. I had hoped that she would use this stairs again to go up bt after a few minutes, I was certain she wouldn't be using this stairs. I then went back to class dissapointed. The next day, I thought to myself that she would not use that stairs bt I was wrong. She came down the stairs at about the same time as yesterday. Again, I was mesmerized by her and repeated the same mistake as yesterday. However, today, I managed to gather up my courage to stop her. I asked her why did she use this stairs when she could sue the other two stairs. She replied that she didn't want to squeeze with the crowd to go down the stairs for reccess. I then also asked her name and which class was she in.

              It seemed like her name was Athenice and that she was in the class next to mine, class 5. I then tried to crack a joke and asked was her name derived from Athena, the greek god. Expecting her to get mad, I was shocked at her reaction. She merely laughed and smiled at me, saying that my joke was funny and creative. She then asked for my name and my class. I then introduced myself. My name was Aaron and I was in the class next to her, class 4. She then reintroduced herself and said that she was a transfer student her, so everything was still new to her. I then told her that if she needed any help she could come ask me. She then said thanks and we parted ways as she wanted to have her reccess. Ever since then, she would always use that stairs down and afther getting her food, she would come to my duty place and we would chat like good friends.
