A gift to my heart

His name is Michael, Michael Lawson ,It wasn't any special of a name to anybody else but to me "Michael" was a word that brought butterflies in my stomach and happiness to my heart.

when he walks in the room everything plays in slow motion from his hair swooshing with the wind, the cool breeze passing by as if he were in a movie, his eyes glimmering and his smile, his smile that lit up the whole room.

I think I'm in love!

Let me sum things up for you. I'm Lydia Johnson, My mom is Spanish and my Stepdad is European (My real dad died after I was born).

I go to Creefield High, and I'm 16 years old. At school I'm basically a nobody, I don't think anyone knows my name or that I exist because I'm quiet and avoid attention.

My best friends name is Sasha Rose we've been friends since 5th grade. She suddenly got popular in 8th grade when Justin Crawley, one of the school's hottest guys in the school, asked her out, we stayed besties but she doesn't hang out with me as much as we used to anymore because she got new friends.

I have 2 other friends Nick, and Jessie, Nick is tall, curly hair and he plays the violin but mainly because he's parents force him too, he also enjoys video games and don't tell anyone I told you but he's secretly crushing on Jessie.

Jessie is Japanese foreign exchange student that came in 7th grade, she barely knew how to speak English in first year so I offered to teach her and we became really close since then.

But back to where lt started, Michael. Everyone at school was talking about the new boy that was transferring into our school. His first day is today and when he finally arrived we were all blown away, okay maybe just me. I didn't believe in love but with Michael it was love at first sight.

Everyone thought he was basic and moved on with their lives like the love of my life didn't just walk through the school gates to diagnose me with love fever.

I ran to Sasha and I'm not really supposed to be talking to her at school but this was important I had to tell her about my new crush,when all of a sudden…

I bumped into a guy who was tall, he smelt like coconut shampoo and he's hair was black.

I lifted my head slowly to find myself staring right into Michael's eyes.

My face turned beet red immediately, "Hey, I'm sorry about that" I said

"No problem" Michael said with prettiest smile I've ever seen in my life. My knees instantly went weak

I introduced myself to cut the tension

"I'm Lydia, Lydia Johnson" I said offering my hand for a handshake

"Michael Lawson" He grabbed my hand and we shook hands while holding intense eye contact

His hands were warm and soft.

The bell rang,

The butterflies in my stomach were impeccably energetic today.

I let go of he's hand and waved goodbye as we parted ways.

The whole history class I banged my head against the table as thoughts ran through my mind

' what if I didn't make a good impression'

'Did my breathe stink'

'what if I was making to much eye contact'

'did I hold hid hand for too long'

I completely ignored all my surroundings as these thoughts flushed my mind "Lydia?" I felt a hand wave in front of my face

"Lydia, can you repeat what I just said" My history teacher emphasized.

"Uhhh.. " I stared at the board trying to make something up that made sense.

My history teacher giggled and told me to get my head out of the clouds.

She knows that I'm usually 3 steps ahead and focus in class so she didn't punish me.

Before I knew it the day was over.

As I was headed home on the bus, there were no seats open. I looked and pushed through to find the only seat left on the bus, In disbelief I look who is sitting next to the open seat... Michael? I didn't believe in fate but this couldn't have been a coincidence...
