#forthgrade

At first, he is just one of my classmate and one of the guys. Not special nor outstanding but suddenly, he look amazing under the gentle ray of sunlight that came from the nearest window from where i am sitting.

This happened when i am in the forth grade. I don’t remember when is it that i started to look at him like he is someone special but i know that I had fallen in love for the first time. He is dreamy when he plays like a professional on the court. The ray from the sun shine only on him like a spotlight when he is competing on the court. The ball obeys him and never leaves his side until he reach his goal from the opposite side.

His smile can completely melt me even if the air is moist in the room. I always want to approach him but a girl in love is shy for the first time so i did not give myself that chance so, i usually look him afar for where i am sitting until one faithful day the chance came for me. 

He is arranged to sit beside me. He was told to ‘speak to the ones beside you and interview that person’. We talk and laugh. This felt like an eternity. I could spent my whole day talking with him like we are the only person in the classroom. I love his deep and cheeky voice. This makes him sound more like a playful boy than look like a playboy. Though chance came, i still can’t get to tell him that i like him. (sad.)

Then, the next day, chance #2 follow and we were ended up staring deeply at each other. (how? Why?) That’s because he is interested at my TEETH! This was what happened on that day.

Way before that incident, i was called to the dentist for replacing the old filling to a new filling. Then i went back to class after the dentist appointment. I was smiling when he suddenly stand in front of me and ask, “Hey, did you put braces?” while he is smiling and waiting for my answer, I was froze to the ground cause this was the first time he speak to me with distance between our faces was so close that our eyes met. After i regain my conscious i answered that it was just new fillings for my teeth. He sigh and smile to me. He says that he is interested in braces but afraid of the pain and consequences having braces. (well, now he already took off his braces.)
