Her smile....

As he walked down the path, he saw her walking towards him. A smile crept across his face. There she was, his mysterious girl!!! As the sunlight bounced off her face, he remembered what he thought off when he first saw her. An angel on earth! She had an air of mystery about her which attracted him more. There had always been this spark between them which told him that she was curious about him too. Since the first day he had met her, this unspoken bond between them had developed. They avoided each others gaze. But they both knew that they were looking when they throught the other wasn't. As she slowly walked towards him, edging closer every moment, as her face became clearer, he felt himself smile even more. She was constantly glanced down and sideways, but he knew that she had seen him. They had never spoken or even looked eye to eye. But they both knew, there was something underneath the underneath. She seemed so pure.. So innocent. If only she smiled, she would look like an angel. If only she smiled…

She saw him walking towards her from a distance. She knew he was looking at her. She had felt his gaze on him earlier. He looked at her with kindness and passion in his eyes. He always had a smile on his face. Since the first day she saw him, to this moment now where she looked at him through the corner of her eyes, he was smiling. As she tried to avoid his gaze, she kept looking at him though the corner of her eyes, and there he was, smiling. She looked at the ground wondering what made the boy smile every time she saw him. Since the first day, she was always curious about him. But something held her back. She wanted him to make the first move. She knew there was this spark between them. Something she could not understand but it was still something she never felt before. But maybe she wasn’t good enough for him? Maybe he already has a girlfriend? Maybe she was too shy for him? As he came closer, she shifted her gaze on the ground. But just before that she saw him smiling towards her. She remembered the first day she saw him and she remembered his smile. It made her happy, just to see him, just to see his face, just so she can see that smile.

And in that brief moment where she passed him, he saw for the first time, a faint smile on her lips….
