I Noticed

by TheRealityOfFantasy

I wrote this a long time ago and just found it, so I figured I'd post just for kicks. I know it's nothing good, I just thought it was funny to come across some of my old writing. One of Kadic's students begins to notice the girl with the pink hair. I'm leaving whoever he or she is up to your imagination. Enjoy this little fic from twelve year old me

Do you know who I am, Aelita? I don't think you do; though I sit near you in a few classes you don't acknowledge me or seem to notice me.

But I notice you.

I noticed when you first walked into our History class a few weeks ago. Well, then again I think everyone did. I mean with your bright pink hair you sort of stand out in a crowd. In a good way.

I noticed the nervous edge in your voice when the teacher asked you to introduce yourself. Your hands here shaking against your legs and you were biting your lip. I know the feeling- I'm not a big fan of public speaking either, which is why I'm only saying all of this in my head.

I noticed when Odd was teaching you how to skateboard in the parking lot. That fall looked really painful and I wasn't surprised when the cast on your wrist the next day was pink. I wish I had a chance to sign it. Or the nerve to ask.

I noticed when you were called down to Mr. Delmas' office last week and came back with tears in your eyes. You didn't look sad, though. You looked scared. I saw Ulrich and Odd talked to you and you looked alright after awhile. I'm glad you have such good friends to look after you.

I noticed when you skipped English on Wednesday, and I know you weren't sick. This may sound a bit weird but I watched you walk into the woods alone that day. In my defense I was looking outside because I was bored with class and I just happened to see you. I'm not a stalker, I swear. But anyways, what were you doing in the woods? I heard that there's a creepy old house somewhere back there that no one dares enter. I hope that isn't where you go; that place could cave at any moment.

I noticed when you were walking across campus yesterday. There wasn't anyone else around and you were singing to yourself. I didn't recognize the song, but your voice is breathtaking.

I also notice the way you look at Jeremie Belpois, and the way he looks at you. There's obviously something there and I don't want to interfere.

So I notice.

But never act.
