Sarah

Anthony
Life had to move on. It had been two years since my mother passed away in a road accident. Her sudden death almost killed us both too. My father and I loved her so much. We could not live in the same house anymore. To be exact, we could not live in the same city. My father couldn’t concentrate on his work. He owned a chain of hotels. He left everything to his secretary to handle. For 2 years we travelled, at last we settled in Seattle. I had to join new school which was good because I didn’t want anyone to remind me of my mother. In seventh grade, I was the oldest one, at the age of fifteen. It didn’t matter much. I walked to my English class. I took my seat at the corner which was the last two empty seats. Few minutes later, a girl took the seat next to me. She didn’t even turn to look at me. I thought it was polite to greet her. So I started the conversation. “Hi. I’m Anthony” She turned to me and politely said, “Sarah.” The professor walked in and the class started. I couldn’t concentrate at all. I was hypnotized by her natural beauty. The class ended and she just left. I tried to follow her but she never looked at me.
Five years passed, I knew everything about her. Girls would throw themselves at me while she was the one that always avoiding me.
