So much for meeting my friends again.It wasnt the first time they had done this. Our (or rather my) plans were to meet them at the restaurant where we would later go to the mall. Of course, my friends all had boyfriends yet despite their malice, I remained single for most of my school-time.
Checking my watch for the hundredth time, I finally had to resolve. They had left me. I trusted them to accept me as one who just didnt fit in the relationship business, and they LEFT ME. Sighing heavily, I slumped onto a bench and hunched with my chin resting on my palms. Thats when a movement stirred next to me, and I shot an indifferent glance sideways only to receive the same look back from a startling cute guy with sapphire eyes and sharp features.
I had to look at him again, and this time we stared at eachother for what seemed forever. His eyes reflected the helplessness that churned deep inside me, that fated loneliness that can only come from one who has been denied. . . as I had.
A smile.
::Are you waiting for someone?:: he asked, a note of embarrassment on his voice. I felt a pang in my stomach. Him? Talking to me?
::Well,:: I murmered.:: I was.:: He looked away and then back, this time with a slight twinkle in his eye.
My heart leapt. ::Well, as long as were here,:: he said glancing through the windows of the restaurant,:: would you like a coffee?::
This was it, I thought. Nothing could mean anything else than what was happening now. I felt a smile spread helplessly across my face. ::Sure, thatd be nice.:: His eyes brightened, and the combination of deep blue and loose black hair made him all the more irresistible. We both stood up and moved close together as we passed through the doors. ::By the way, my names Micheal.::
