All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

I looked in her beautiful and soft green eyes, which seemed to drown me in them. Her oh-so gentle and fragile figure urged me to take her in my arms. I was snapped out of my trance when she again said. "Hello, Sir? Are you okay?" She asked. It caused a smile to crawl up on my lips. "Y-yeah, I-I'm fine." I mentally cursed myself for stuttering. "So, what would you like?" She asked, and "You" slipped from my mouth immediately. That moment I was silently praying that the earth would open and swallow me. Her eyes widened for a moment then a hard expression mustered on her face. It was looking really stunning on her. "Excuse me?" She said a bit rudely. "You are excused," I said, without thinking and gave her a smirk. She blinked a few times then gave me a rather hard look. "Do you even want to buy anything? If not then get out." She said angrily, which made her look more beautiful. God, what is happening to me? Can a person even fall in love with someone at first sight? This deeply?
