When he came into the library, I panicked. I was afraid that if he saw me, he would come over and say hi and I was petrified that I wouldn’t be able to hide my feelings from him. He was the most popular guy on campus and I was—well, the girl least likely to attract someone like him.
“Hi.”
“Hi,”
“May I join you?”
“Yes.”
He sat down and stared at me so hard that I wanted to cover my face. “Are you busy Saturday night?”
“No.”
“How about dinner and a movie?”
Stunned, I nodded.
He grinned.

May be she underestimated herself and a low self esteem. May be he had seen quality in her, that she was not aware of. May be his concept of beauty was not skin deep.

You’re right, Abhijit. She didn’t think that he would want to date her but it turns out that he sees a quality in her that attracts him.

True, whatever you wish for, comes true. I like the feeling of butterflies in her stomach this story provokes.

A lovely story with a happy ending, Adele. It’s hard to tell sometimes what attracts one person to another. We can’t always guess the outcome. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

Thanks, Suzanne 🙂 What you said is so true. What might attract one person might not attract another. And we can’t always make assumptions when it comes to the heart.
