We started talking after that.
At first, it was small things.
"Do you always sit alone?""Do you always talk this much?"
She laughed easily.I didn't.
But slowly, that changed.
We walked home together.Shared snacks.Watched the sky turn orange in silence.
I avoided touching her.
Because every time I did… I saw more.
More of us.
Holding hands.Studying together.Laughing like we had always known each other.
It felt like fate.
Like something beautiful waiting to happen.
