The lone boy sat at one the wooden bench at the school. Everyone had gone home hours ago except the cleaners and the crows that had taken permanent roost in the school. As the sun crept across the sky with a purposeful slowness, making each hour, every second slow down, to grow definition as the boy sat on the bench and watched the girl in the building across from him, behind glass in a science lab. The girl was what some would considered a nerd, her hair pulled back into a piggy tale that was considered childish in her teen years, yet she kept it to retain the memories of childhood that so many of her peers had thrown away, or so the boy thought as he sat and watched her reading a book probably on some scientific subject, strangely enough she always seemed to have a book, but never the same one when ever he saw her. Sooner than he thought it would be, the sound of the horn from his mother’s car melted through the solid, real silence that surrounded the school, like water through ice. His attention taking away from his observations of that curiosity of a human, his gaze wondered towards his mother’s car as looked to confirm that it was indeed her and greet her with a lazy wave. Taking one last look like usual towards the girl in the window to find that she was not there. Raising an eyebrow in almost feigned yet sincere interest, he got up and went to fetch his bag. Suddenly he froze in mid step, for there in front of him, no longer behind a window was the girl who was the centre of his fascinations, staring at him.

“Why do you stay back so late every day?” she asked, her voice only increasing the boy’s curiosity about her, why did he feel this way?

He said nothing as all he said as he attempted to move past her, a slight blush coming to his plain features.

“A shy one we have do we?” giggling as she said so, appearing pleased to have found this weakness or once again the boy thought.

“I’m not shy, I just don’t have time to talk, my mum is waiting, if you really want to talk, how about we meet tomorrow after school?” he murmured, his heart racing, his vision wobbling a little as water came to his eyes as he strained to remain in control in this unusual situation to him. Seeming taken back in thought the girl looked down and up again, continuing this a few times as if to check if he was still waiting for an answer.

“Okay, sure why not?” she finally said, avoiding his eyes by looking past him, he was unable to find a reason behind this action, then a thought struck him.

“A shy one we have do we?” he said in imitation of her previous remark, causing her to giggle once again and finally look him in the eye, causing him to smile.
”Well I gotta go, see you tomorrow then” he said, waving to her as he turned to run, thinking about the entire encounter.

Getting to the car, he got in, grumbling a greeting, his mind else where as he thought about the meeting today and the one tomorrow, what would happen and why did he feel so light and strangely happy. Placing all these thoughts aside for the moment for her knew the answers would come to him in time, simply allowing himself to fantasize, for how could he know what lay ahead of him, the disappointment, the happiness, the many moments that would break and redefine his life and those that he come in contact with but for now, we bid farewell to this young boy, who cared only for the moment to come as we once again look back to our own lives, good day to you.
