books

Once upon a time, there was a girl. She lived as if there was always a book on her head; with poise, and elegance. Nothing really disturbed her much. There were minor struggles here and there- she was only human. In the end though, the book always found its' way back.

One day.. someone came into her life, someone who caused her heart to flutter, and someone who she couldn't help but to take second glances at. He was the total opposite of what her mind thought was perfect, but she couldn't stop these feelings.

When he smiled.. laughed.. her heart skipped more than just one beat, and she found herself unable to breathe properly. When he was down... she worried. When he was happy, she was happy. She found herself waiting for his greeeting, waiting for a glimpse of his face after class, waiting to hear a snippet of his voice from a conversation... waiting for that text that was so special to her...

She had several sleepless nights thinking about him. More and more, she found her book falling. Sometimes she would forget that it wasn't there. She began to slowly change- but it wasn't her choice, being with him made her that way. She was troubled and worried. Very worried.

Soon, her book was long gone, never to be found. She didn't even realize. Without his presence she felt empty.. and lonely. She missed him. She wanted to do things for him, that she'd never want to do for anyone else. She wanted to create special memories with him. She wanted him to feel this way about her.

Again, she was in her bed, thinking about him. Sleep wouldn't come. She pondered... what was it that caused her heart to flutter so, everytime something as small as an image of him entered her mind ? She wondered, what was it that caused red prickles of heat to rise from her face everytime he smiled at her, everytime he talked to her, everytime he complimented her ?

Then. Almost as if a tidal wave had entered her door and engulfed her whole room, it came to her. This... thing, that has transformed her into a clumsy, stuttering, babbling idiot... this thing, that created feelings deep inside of her, that she had never experienced... such a pure and innocent thing that she didn't even know existed... the reason for her drastic change... it was all, Love.
