The Silent Love; A Bal Story

2

Ben's POV

I woke up and couldn't stop thinking about Mal. She is amazing and smart and beautiful. I got out of bed and started getting ready for the day. I put on black jeans and a white shirt, with my favorite black converse.

I just hope I have a shot with her. I've never been the luckiest person what it come to love. I know it's too soon to talk about love, but I hope we can be friends.

I brushed my teeth and hair and put on my cologne, I kept it light so it wasn't too much. I walked downstairs and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast before school. I walked down the stairs and I heard my parents talking.

"It was her first day. How could you not like her already?"

"She came to school in a Ferrari. What are her parents thinking letting a sixteen year old drive a car like that."

" Ok, maybe you are jumping to conclusions. Just give her a chance. Ok?"

"She also has purple hair. Another thing that I don't understand how her parents let her do." she sighed.

"Oh I didn't know that, but still you should give her a chance."

I had enough so I walked into the kitchen. They must have felt uncomfortable because they separated. My mom just put food on my plate.

" Here is your breakfast." she kissed my forehead. "You need to eat fast so that I can drive you to school. You know I can't be late"

"Actually mom, I think I'm gonna walk. It's a beautiful morning." I smiled

She looked at me weird, then nodded.

"I guess that's fine. Just don't be late" My dad said and I nodded.

I said goodbye and then started walking. I stopped when I saw a patch of beautiful purple flowers. They reminded me of Mal so I grabbed some of them and tied them together to make a bracelet, something my mom taught me when I was younger.

I kept walking and just enjoying the scenery. I never took much time to look at the trees and flowers. I hope Mal will let me show her around. I would love to show her the lake.

I walked onto campus when I saw Mal. I smiled, she looked beautiful this morning.

"Bonjour belle"(hello beautiful) I told her and then I put on a fake sad look, "I was hoping for a text this morning from you" She looked up from her sketchpad and smiled when she saw me.

"beau matin" (good morning) She smiled. "I didn't know you wanted one." She gave me a subtle wink and started laughing. I soon joined her. She looked so beautiful when she laughed. I saw her stop to stare at a her sketch book.

"Can we just talk for a little?" I asked her

"Oui, monsieur. What do you want to talk about?" She smiles.

"I wanted to know what you're looking at."

"Oh I was drawing something and I don't think it's very good" I smiled at her modesty.

"Can I see?" She showed me and it was a beautiful sketch of the trees with the ocean behind it. "It's beautiful"

"Thank you" She smiled.

"Oh, I made something for you" I pulled the bracelet out of my jacket pocket.

"You did?" I showed it to her and She giggled and then slid the bracelet on. "It's beautiful. Thank you"

"Im glad you like it." I smiled and we just stared into each other's eyes. "Why are you at school so early? It doesn't start for another 20 minutes?"
