It was lunch time, in my school you could either eat at school or eat at home, I lived on the same street were my school was located, but I would only eat lunch at home in my in March and July, as we were on February, I was eating lunch at school . I was actually taking a no meat/fish diet as I was vegetarian, so I took my plate and went to the diet queue, when I looked up I saw those beautiful platinum blonde curls inches apart from my face, I looked carefully at each single perfect blonde curl coming from his hair, his hair looked so perfect and fluffy, I wanted to touch it but didn't want to be disrespectful like the other dumb girl in my class who kept squeezing his hair.

He smelled like the sea, fresh old books and cherries. It was a weird but perfect combination, soon I felt the urge to try to talk to him, I started thinking about a good excuse, I thought about asking how long did he usually waited until he got his food. So I started to raise my hand so I could touch his shoulder and his attention, but my arm was shaking badly and I felt my heart beating faster and faster ten minutes passed when he went back to the table and I got my food. I felt like a complete idiot, this had never happened to me before, I had always been shy, but with the years I had learned to control it, even though I still found it hard to keep eye contact while speaking to another person. I felt confused about how I was only acting different when I was around him, even though I still didn't really know him.

When I reached my class's table I sat next to Grace, who was sitting in front of Blaine and Noah. Grace and I started talking about music, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Imagine Dragons,... my taste in music was very odd, I liked rock, blues, country music, pop, contemporary folk music, classical music... I played the piano since I was seven years old, and Grace had started playing the guitar this year, if I didn't play the piano I'd probably play the violin, I just love the peace that they transmit to me. While I was talking I noticed Blaine's light blue/green eyes were paying attention to Max and his annoying childish friends instead of talking to Noah, who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, I started to study his features his big  blue eyes, his soft pink, olive skin, 'o shut he's looking' I thought as I realised he was looking at me, I quickly turned around and felt myself blushing so I tried to hide it with a few coughs, but I could see a huge smug grin on his face.

I finished eating and went to the playground, when I walked up the stairs, I noticed that Noah had one of the stickers that were on the apples in our cafeteria stuck on his adidas dark hoodie. I called him out  but he didn't hear me, so I tapped his shoulder forgetting about my nervousness, my light green eyes met his and my heart stopped, -you have a sticker stuck in your hoodie- I said really fast , he looked confused and then tried to take it off, but his hand didn't reach the sticker, so I put my hand on his back, and took it off -Thanks- he said looking directly into my eyes smiling -your welcome I said my eyes slowly looking away from his, and then I kept walking to reach Grace.
