it was the first time i saw her.
she was different than the other girls i had seen before. wearing a khaki miniskirt and a long sleeved shirt, she sure seemed well prepared for such cold weather. meanwhile, my tailored jerkin and undershirt was killing me. i wanted to come off as macho so i never wore more than a simple tee or tank top, unlike the others in school. they all wore big down jackets that made them look like overstuffed dumplings. hmm.
anyway, back to the topic. i saw her yanking off her cape with angst and i fell in love. it was like eros had worked his magic. but she looked- different. inhuman. just, her looks were perfect but i knew she hadn't undergone plastic surgery. at that point, i knew i was not the only one who was gaping at her; i was pretty sure the jocks in my group (chad, justin and ben) were attracted by her too. but what i did know was that i was the first person to walk up to her. it felt weird, especially with the squad looking at me.
"hey, i'm isaac. nice to meet you" i put my hand out awkwardly wanting a handshake. i actually did not expect for her to shake my hand in turn. "hey, i'm alisha, i'm new." alisha. hmm. nice name. she spoke with a weird accent, southern and british together- was she swedish? so i asked her where she came from and she replied with something that sounded kinda like "shangri-la." huh? i hadn't heard of a country called shangri-la before, or perhaps it was because i was too attracted to marells in my geography class to even listen. i'll go home and check that.
me being me, i wanted to be a great help to her (or maybe just spend more time with her) and so i volunteered to show her around. honestly, i think she was a tad bit attracted by me too, as she kept glancing at me and blushing when i grinned back.
honestly, i don't think i've been so at ease around a girl in awhile. and i don't believe that i've liked someone so much.
but already considering alisha is here, i might as well hold on to that strand of hope, to pull me together.
