It was only one day that changed my view of life and death completely. School had ended and I came out of the train doors to go home. A sunset emerged behind some houses that were a couple of blocks away from my house. It felt almost as if I was walking beneath a battle of the colors that fought to keep their place in the sky. I wasn't in a rush, so I had time to notice these beautiful details.
While walking down the street, I saw Charlotte who was a girl that was in some of my classes. I was not surprised to see her friends with her, since she was known to be a "social magnet." She was also envied by most of the girls in my school because she was extremely popular. However, I liked her for other reasons though. Charlotte had been in my classes since kindergarten, yet she never noticed me and sometimes I even wondered if she even knew my name.
Charlotte was a different person when she wasn't at school. She always tended to her grandmother who in exchange told her everything so she could answer what Charlotte could never figure out. She wasn't oblivion like she was most of time in school and showed her generous side at home.
Meanwhile at school, she was a well-known sweetheart who tried to fit in with everyone else even though I knew she never could. I've seen boys from my freshman class approach her almost every day with variations of flowers or heart shaped boxes of chocolate.
When she blushed, it was as if the most sincere rose with a plush pink laid its petals on her blissful cheeks. Out of everyone, including her closest friends, I was the only one who knew her secret. Charlotte couldn't be completely satisfied with flowers or chocolate.
She wanted someone out of the impossible to tell her something unpredictable, besides the fact that she was told that was beautiful in a million different ways. I wanted to be that someone. The one who would sweep her off her feet and take her somewhere faraway from our small, little town called "Rosewood." I just haven't found the perfect words to say yet, and I'm still unsure if she'd feel the same way as I do about her.
Charlotte doesn't know that she's only one who can ignite my fiery emotions and the person she's been searching for her whole life, sits right behind her in science class.
