Plague of My Heart (28/10/06)

This was my first story on fictionpress.net

Written on: 28/10/06

I looked across the room. There she was, the everlasting pillar of energy. I studied her every feature. Her large, mystifying eyes were the highlight. They could break down the shallow, weak-minded defense of any man and reach into his heart.

And there was the nose. In contrast to her eyes, her nose was small, but contemplated well with the upper regions of her face.

If that alone weren't enough, i spotted her mouth. Like thin slices of peach, they shone even in the darkest of days. One would want to kiss her lips, and never let go.

In my eyes, she was perfect. Lively and bubbly, she was that star. The star that never failed to brighten my day, even if the things she did had nothing to do with me. She was my angel. Just looking at her could make me smile.

And i laughed at myself. She hardly sees me as part of her life. Mixed feelings of anguish and love constantly plague my heart, each wanting to eliminate each other. I could just hate her, erase her from my world. But anguish, was always vanquished when she turned and looked. Even for a split second, it would seem to me as an eternity.

“Kaisan Minadowa!” the evil, frogged faced beast called from the white board. “Stop dreaming and name me the first five American Presidents... without looking at your book”.

Like a volcano arising from its sleep, i could feel the anger rising. What a dirty trick! I wanted to lift my book and throw it at the beast.

Then, she looked over.

I was stunned momentarily. The class was suddenly empty except for the both of us. Now, she was getting closer, even though neither of us were moving. Closer and closer, until her lips stroked my cheek. I turned and look into her eyes. Those eyes. I leaned forward...

“Kaisan! Stop smooching your book! You are full of nonsense! I want you to rewrite the whole history textbook... 5 times”. Everyone turned, and for a moment, I was the dunce.

And then i saw her smile.
