Falling For Flames

fearful

I remember it vividly. It all started a little over a year ago. The first day of high school. I had ridden in a car that morning and would be riding the bus that afternoon. I hadn't really met anybody at this point, other than friends I made over the summer, but I wasn't very close to them. I was super scared considering what everyone had always said about freshmen and how bad high school was. My first day on the bus. I didn't think I'd know anyone but there were several people that I had previously went to school with. There was this one guy that happened to catch my eye. I had never seen him before. He sat behind me and was very good-looking. He looked to be about 6 inches taller than me and really skinny. He was probably the most attractive guy I've seen in person. He wore khakis, a dark blue hoodie and vans. I thought he had the most beautiful blue eyes I had laid my eyes upon. We made eye contact for a minute while he was talking to some other unfamiliar boy behind him. He had the most ingenious stare and it captivated me. I wanted to stare into his eyes forever. I decided to look away quickly so I didn't get myself into anything. The bus stopped and he got up. I watched him get off. I know it sounds creepy but something about him intrigued me. I tried to not make it obvious I was staring.  I couldn't look away.
