Almond-Colored Hair
A Story by Anna Hopkins
She must mean something.
I first saw her in the girls' bathroom. We passed casually by each other, but as she closed the stall door, I could tell that somehow she was still watching me.
I saw her next at school. I'd arrived outside my classroom and she was standing there. She has almond-colored hair and dazzling blue eyes. As I neared her, I felt like I could see sunlight glittering on her, even through the roof. I could've sworn that the smell of tulips and daffodils had replaced the scent of carpet and sweat. Her eyes, there was something strange, something unique about them, something magical.
It was not until later when I saw her outside my classroom again. She spoke no words. I looked into her eyes, gazing at them. I could see a girl. A girl with frazzled brown hair and brown eyes. I don't know what she did, but half of her class had considered her a hero, while the other half considered her a villain.
I took a step back, breaking eye contact with the girl. I looked around nervously, finally figuring out why this strange frazzled girl had done, whatever she did.
She'd been hypnotized. That was the almond-haired girl's secret, hypnotism.
I lost track of my ideas when the girl from my vision emerged from my classroom. In a fleeting moment I turned and fled from shock.
It was not until later when I saw the almond-haired girl again. She stopped me in the park and whispered something in my ear. I will never remember exactly what she said. All I know is that it had to do with death, and the afterlife...
