I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on him...

Of course, one would expect the first time to be at a romantic beach as we locked eyes from a distance on the hot sand, or a park where our dogs collided by accident. Perhaps even at school when we bumped into each other in the crowded halls and there was an instant connection.

However, none of those scenarios came close to how I first saw him. It's far from any of it, really. Something really unexpected that doesn't happen to your typical teenage girl everyday. And to this day and many more to come, I will never forget it.

The first time I saw him was during a robbery.

Well, not exactly a robbery, but him fleeing FROM a robbery caused by himself and some other dude at Forks Mall. I was walking out of the mall's food court with a satisfied smile on my face, happy to have had a good meal. Usually I don't go shopping, and I actually really hate doing so, but in a few days my best friend was going away for a month on vacation and so I was throwing a going away party for her. I carried a bag full of some gifts for her as I walked out, texting to her that I was done at the mall and for her to come pick me up.

As I was texting, I heard some faint yelling and commotion coming from nearby, but I ignored it for the time being, mindlessly walking towards the mall's exit. All of a sudden, there was a loud, booming voice yelling, "GET BACK HERE WITH THAT RIGHT NOW!" It echoed off the walls and reached my ears. My head snapped up towards the area where it came from, and right then, two teenage guys came rushing around the corner. They were both riding on skateboards, riding them really fast down the polished mall floors. They were like a blur, rushing right past me, but I managed to make some small details out.

Both guys were carrying something, clutched to their chests as they rode right by. One guy, who was slightly taller than the other, had what looked like dirty blonde hair tied into a ponytail. He wore a black sweater and black jeans, expensive white jordans on his feet. He kept looking back at the security guards chasing after them, letting out a small laugh when he saw them falling way behind.

When I was done looking at him, my eyes traveled to the other teenager. He was also wearing a black sweater and had on dark blue jeans. Also, he had jordans except they were black and white. His hair was a messy bronze color, and from my spot looked so silky I wanted to stop him for a second and just run my hands through it. He turned towards the guards and bit his lip, speeding up a bit. That's when I was able to see his face.

And my heart skipped a beat when I did.

It seemed as though time stopped as I saw his face. It was a perfect, pale figure with perfect features. A straight nose, lips, and I was able to see a hint of green in his eyes. Emerald green to be exact. It was like someone has carved him into an adonis riding on a skateboard right in front of me.

I didn't have any idea who this guy was, stealing from a store, but I liked him already.

As if things couldn't get any better, his head turned in my direction and that's when our eyes locked. His brooding, emerald green eyes caught my dark brown ones and kept them captive under his stare. It was confirmed that his eyes had to be the most beautiful eyes I ever did see. I felt like I was in heaven that felt like forever, yet in reality it was only about 5 seconds. After that short period of time, he turned his head away and zoomed out of the mall's exit with his friend.

My breath hitched as I wanted to reach out towards where he had just left, wanting to drop everything I had and run as fast as I could to just catch up with him and be able to talk to him and get to know him. I don't know what came over me all of a sudden. All I knew was that I wanted to meet this mysterious guy with the bright, electric green eyes more than anything.

But reality hit, and I knew that I would probably never get to see him ever again.
