Crushing on someone was a foreign concept to me . I never really liked anybody . I didn't understand what it was like to be attracted to someone until one day . It was my sixteenth birthday . We didn't do anything special . We never did . Not that I was complaining about it because i didn't really have friends unless you count the one's from my school . We weren't close enough to be hanging out at each other's houses . So it was quite an uneventful evening .
After I was done with my homework , I went outside the balcony which was connected to my bedroom . The midsummer heat was scorching and the light breeze during the twilight hour was the perfect remedy . I never really liked the heat . The grey clouds in the darkening sky told about the incoming storm . I still remember how the sky looked exceptionally beautiful that night . As I laid on the cement floor to enjoy the little game of hide and seek played by the moon and the clouds, trying to find the answers to the questions that nobody knew , I heard people scream. The neighbors next door were going at it again . I heard that the man drank a lot and his wife wasn't quite pleased . I haven't really seen them before but my parents are acquainted with them . Just then , a door creaked . I raised my head to see who it was . The sight that greeted me was quite a shock . A girl had come out the door crying . I don't think she noticed me as i was quite hidden on my side of the balcony but even if i had stood up she was way too busy crying to think about her surroundings.
She stood against the railing , her shoulders shaking , her quiet sobs escaping her mouth every now and then . The clouds parted and the moonlight hit her face . I could tell that she was extremely pretty . Her porcelain skin made her doll like features really striking even when her hair was disheveled. As I looked at her , intently , trying to remember where I've seen her before , I felt my heart skip a beat . Strange . I looked at her even more carefully , wondering why that happened , my stomach started to fell weird as well . It was like a huge box fell open , and from that came thousand of butterflies . The butterflies knew how to dance . Finally , after an hour or so , she calmed down and went inside . Seeing how late the time was , i followed suit .
