The wind brushed against the terrain of Earth on a good Monday morning where the sun had risen from dawn.Light pierced through the heavy fogs that sat in the sky right towards what seemed like a bus stop.
There stood Zekinai on his first year of high school where he was thrilled to experience a new start;
A New beginning.

Zekinai: "Where did i leave my pen, ugh where is it...Im sure i put it in my pencil case."

Zekinai never expected his first day of high school to go so horribly wrong for him.He was sure he had the right equipments for school. At least that is what he thought.

Whoosh

Anger fused to create a catastrophy blow from the winds towards the sidewalks of the road. Something glistened to Zekinai's eyes in the strong gusts of wind  where he began squinting at the dear sight of what seemed to him to be "heaven".
There, stood a girl with eyes that caused people to drown within them.
It was as if she was the creation of hypnosis.
Zekinai's legs became frail, his eyes met hers, which made him mesmerised by what innocent,beautiful creation she was.

Foosh

His attention had been averted by the sound of the bus stopped infront of them. Zekinai experienced something very weird that ached his heart,yet kept it palpitating furiously.
His entire body became paralysed making him unable to move.
All he could witness was the beauty that faced him as he looked in awe.Although the figure of that girl seemed ordinary,it was completely different for him.
She was not someone he felt neutral around.
As she entered the bus, he stood there rethinking what had just happened.
Who is she?Why am I feeling something different from her?
While the bus drifted away, Zekinai stood there with his attention  being pointed towards his internal thoughts.
As he tried to form another thought he suddenly became conscious of his surroundings.
He quickly checked his phone and turned it on to look at the screen. This time,the only thought he had in mind popped up like an explosion.
He was late for class.

***

Months had passed.
Zekinai looked at her from a distance nearly every time he saw her in school mornings.
From hours to days to weeks and finally months. Yet, he could only look at her from far away, like a lighthouse in the sea.
However, one Tuesday morning, thoughts began to flow from the flower vase within his mind.
He had to speak loudly as he realised what was going on.

Zekinai: "Is this..is this love that I'm experiencing?The one where your heart feels like it flutters?"

As his heart throbbed, his body was filled with fear, making him shake uncontrollably.
He was not ready for what he was going to face.His eyes remained on her, with a sad expression this time.
