The Girl With A Broken Smile

The First Step

Like I said, I knew my life was about to change but I wasn't exactly sure how. So I go back to college, hoping I'd be normal, but I wasn't, I was looking at my phone during class...like all the bloody time. I was texting her in between class and she was surprisingly replying to me (she's a nerd by the way).

As usual I walked her back to her hostel after class, we talk about some random things, and we talk about our teachers, how our day was and what we ate for lunch and stuff like that, now her hostel isn't too far away from college, but that walk felt real long, it was pleasing but like I said, not so far away.

We got to her hostel and we stood in front of it and continued to talk, she could have gone in, but she didn't, even as the topics for conversation dwindled, she stood there, she didn't say bye, but she just stood there, I took the hint and put my hands around her, she just crept into the hug like a little child wanting an embrace.

I felt the pulse of a broken heart, a heart that longed for some affection and she was there for maybe like 20 seconds and then she turned a bit to the left and looked up at me...and almost impulsively I kissed her on the cheek. To be honest I was shit scared, not knowing how she'd react but she was fine, she looked at me and smiled. We said our goodbyes and went home and as always we continued texting. But what happened was running through my mind, I took the 1st step and now what do I do..............
