He met her in the morning.

Inadvertently, of course. He sat near her, or really another girl that wouldn't give him the time of day.

Neither party generally payed much attention to the other. It wasn't the time or place; it wasn't the shared mentality. They had to be there.

They spoke. Briefly. Awkwardly. He did most of the speaking anyway. Friends would bring them together, and friends would take them apart. It was a daily routine that no one questioned.

Blossoming mutual attractions appeared. Hers stronger than his but nonetheless mutual.

The connection was impaired until its weak structure eventually gave way.

Months went by until they heard from each other again. She sent him a friendly greeting - a truce, more or less. He didn't know what he was in for.

Before long, the other girl was gone, and talks, serious talks, began to frequent their menial, routine lives. They talked about everything: the dominion they called their school, the distractions they called their classes, the characters they called their friends, the reveries they called their thoughts.

She was completely contrary to what he ever imagined.

No doubt, interest became infatuation. Comments became compliments, and time spent together became dates.

He had caught her, and before he knew it, they were sent tumbling down a spiraling path towards what the heavens make out to be none other than...
