I was studying in the college
library before class. My feet were rested on a coffee table surrounded with a
couple chairs, one that I had claimed, and a couch. I had my laptop open on my
lap and I was entranced in my work until I noticed someone sitting across from
me.
A girl whom I’ve never seen before
sat down and opened her binder to study. She sat passively and to me she seemed
lonely. As soon as I noticed her I had trouble paying attention to my work. I
glanced at her, probably more than would be socially appropriate, but it was
hard not to. I didn’t know if she even acknowledged me but she was absolutely
gorgeous! The most attractive girl I’ve ever seen.
Her eyes were light blue, her hair
as dark as it could be and she sat innocently while I struggled to build enough
confidence to try and start a conversation with her. I couldn’t find the words
to say and I didn’t want to look intrusive so I just continued reading,
thinking about what I should do. The clock was ticking and I had fifteen
minutes before my next class and time was running out.
I took out my notebook and wrote my
name and number. I thought that maybe if I gave it to her before leaving she
might call me back, or if she didn’t at least I tried. My mind wandered with
what to say. I thought that maybe if I said, ‘Excuse me. I have never done this
before but you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen,’ and gave her the
piece of paper before leaving it might seem flattering to her. That was the
idea I was going to do.
I packed up my things, except for
the piece of paper I wanted to give her and walked up to her. I was about to
say something when I lost all words. My heart was pounding and I couldn’t do
it. I put the piece of paper into my pocket and walked to class never saying a
word.
