She had straight, long, black hair. She was invisible to the rest of the world. She had a name, but nobody knew it.
Keth had been watching her for an awfully long time. He wondered about her. Why was she so quiet and mysterious? What was attracting him to such a person? He never knew what he saw in her, but it was something that made his stomach tie up in knots.
He wanted deeply to talk to her. Keth wasnt sure how to approach such a person.
One day, he had dropped his pen near her desk. The girl noticed, and bent over and picked it up, and even gave him a warm smile.
Later that day, he asked the girl her name,
"My name is Talia." She said, with her beautiful smile.
"I'm Keth." He introduced himself.
"I know who you are." Talia said.
"How?" Keth questioned.
"Lets just say, I've heard about you." She said walking away.
Again, she left Keth wondering. Where has she heard about him? How long has she noticed him?
The next day, Keth met up with Talia again.
"I have been watching you a long time.." Keth confessed.
"I have been watching you too." She smiled as she put her books in her locker.
Ever since then, Keth has felt completely comfortable around her. For a month, they remained very close friends, and one day, Keth got the courage,
"Hey Talia." He said happily as he saw her walk down his block.
"Hey Keth." She replied.
"I was wondering...could we maybe try and go out?" He questioned, his face turnging red. Talia then got down to the floor and kneeled on her knees in the middle of the sidewalk,
"Its about time!" She yelled, raising her hands up. Keth laughed,
"I know, I know.." He said, with an ear to ear grin.
"But I need to warn you..I'm not your ordainary girlfriend. My T-shirt and jeans can replace the cheer leading outfits tbhe girls where. My converse replace those high heels. I may not have the beauty any guys want, but I got beauty inside. I dont go on those stupid diets, I will always and forever eat Mcdonalds..." She rambled, laughing at every few words.
"Well then I guess your my converse wearing, dress hating, McDonalds eating, Cinderella." Keth smiled, and kissed her.
He finally relized what he liked about her all along. Not her akward stage on the outside, but her natural beauty on the inside. With your beauty on the inside, thats all you need. <3
