charlotte had met elijah during the early weeks of fall when he had dropped the books he was carrying. he had muttered "i'm sorry" exactly fifteen times before looking her in the eyes. (she repeatedly told him that it was her fault, not his. but still, he apologized.) when their eyes finally met she couldn't help but notice how brown his eyes were. they sorta reminded her of the leaves. and for elijah, he couldn't help but notice how green charlotte's eyes were.
charlotte had opened her mouth to introduce herself but the brown eyed boy, had muttered another "i'm sorry." and left charlotte standing alone.
a/n: short story bc i love those. and lower case intended.
