I hope your attention spans can get fast this first line. I'd appreciate it.
If you want something or someone then go for it. Otherwise you'll probably regret it. Gather around the fire children, I have a story to tell you, a story of love and of a fool who didn't pursue his hearts desire.
I first met her in art class, that fiery red hair caught my attention. She had a smile like no other and a boisterous personality that could not be ignored. Her booming laughs would often ring out across the class, more felt rather than heard. Our desks were arranged in such a way that, each “block” seated four people. My block was situated next to hers, opposites however.
As the weeks past I found myself growing very fond of someone I had yet to meet. Perhaps I’d be best to tell you a little about myself. I’m a shy kid; I’ve been this way ever since I can remember. It most likely stems from the fact that I began stuttering when I was 6 years of age. Being social was only done so when the situation called for it. Otherwise I normally kept to myself or to those close to me.
With that in mind you will see why approaching her was out of the question. I sat back and admired in silence. Art class was often eventful, fun, and a break from all the days’ number crunching and constant writing. In the first month of classes only a few words has passed between us, most often relative in context to the days work or current proceedings.
I went about wit the attitude that you couldn’t get all you wanted in life. The problem was it went against everything I’d been thought and my upbringing which often involved sayings of “never say never” and “don’t give up until you try”. So I thought ‘what have I got to lose?’ Worst that could happen w-w-would be me m-m-making a fool out of myself stuttering and making the next few months of the semester awfully awkward once she rejected me.
To be continued later, if you are interested. keep in mind this is a real story :p
