Crystal Blue Gaze

Chapter 5

Erik

As I lean on a tree hidden from view I can see she still looks the same as the day we first met. Beautiful and awkward at the same time. Her cheeks are slightly flushed as she walks down the corridor to the Great Hall for breakfast. I can see the light pouring in from the glass windows as the sun rises. It looks like she if the first up as she yawns and tries to wipe the sleep from her eyes. I wonder what she will say when she finds out? Will she be happy to see me again? I hope she has not forgotten about me as I have thought about her and how we first met for a long time recently. I am not sure why though I went years without thinking about her. But now I have a feeling that she will need me and that this is where I need to be. I feel her life is about to change. I am not sure why or where this feeling came from and I cannot ignore it, lord knows how I have tried to. As I look at her now though I cannot help but go back to the first day we met.

I walk outside and see this small blonde girl looking bewildered, overwhelmed and lost. She must be new and does not know anyone. She looks too afraid to approach anyone and walks over to sit underneath the cherry tree. I decide to go over and see if she is alright as she looks incredibly lonely. I sit down opposite this fragile looking blonde girl and stretch my hand out towards her and say

"Hi"

The girl just sits there staring at me with her mouth hanging open. Now I am starting to worry that I have something on my face as she continues to just stare at me. I take a deep breath, smile and try again.

"Hi"

"Your eyes are so pretty" She suddenly blurts out. A few seconds pass and then she says "Ooops, did I just say that out loud?" and begins to blush.

That was the first time we ever met and our first conversation we had was about my eyes the exact words she used were 'crystal blue eyes'. As I look at her now it is hard to believe she is the same fragile girl.

I guess it is time to see how much she has changed and to change history itself.
