He was the boy that no one noticed. He was quiet, bland to the naked eye, a total wallflower who sat on the sidelines and lacked in eye contact with those around him though he had the type of eyes that made you feel like you could drown. He tried his best to blend into the background, but what he didn't know was that he was the only one that caught my eye. He was the most intriguing person I had ever laid eyes on even though he couldn't see me. He couldn't see anything.

There was a boy that likes a girl. He always took notice of her even when she wasn't aware of his presence. With his nerdy appearance and his black-rimmed eyeglasses, he thought it was improbable that he could have a chance with her. He was just a nobody. Always afraid of taking chances, fearing of stumbling in the midst of his words, and his confidence shrinking. Even the thought of her, he has the butterflies growing in his stomach. With just one look at her and he was already in trouble. All he needed would just be that little push to overcome his shyness and taking a step forward. -- #1 on #highschoollove #2 on #loveatfirstsight #122 on #firstlove #14 in #shortstory Thank you!
