His name was Damon.
Damon Salvatore.
Ever since that day I would bump into him wherever I went.
Were this what people would call fate? Or was it just coincidence? Damon would greet me cheerfully every time he saw me. I smiled back but we never talked.
Sometimes I wondered how Damon could be so happy all the time. I did envy him and wish that I could be so cheerful too.
I stayed back to revise my Biology notes during lunch break today. I was sipping my Diet Coke when I heard Damon humming while coming into the class. He was humming an oldies which sounded familiar but I just couldn't register a name to the song.
He continued to hum while I studied. I should admit that he did not have a great voice but it was not too unpleasant. It was strange that I did not walk away this time. Usually I preferred to be alone when I was studying. Somehow I felt that his company actually made me feel comfortable. It was weird.
"Do you like my singing? I do sing like a professional," Damon said suddenly.
I nearly choked. Then all of a sudden, I burst into laughter. I laughed so hard that I could feel an ache in my tummy.
"What's so funny?" he sounded annoyed.
I could not stop laughing.
"Maybe you are jealous of my singing."
"Oh please! Get lost jerk." I pushed Damon unintentionally on his shoulder.
The next thing I knew was he fell down from his chair and he was on the ground! I was shocked. I didn't want to hurt him. I felt terrible.
"I'm so sorry. Are you alright? I don't mean to push you.." I tried to explain.
Damon stood up quickly and gave me a smile. I knew he was alright and was relieved instantly.
"Friends?" he reached out his hand.
"Yeah, why not?" I replied and shook his hands.
It felt good to know a friend. A new friend.
What do you guys/gals think? Some of you may think this is childish but I think this is the start of something beautiful. I could still remember how much I had enjoyed reading this story of Runaway Soul. Seven Wonders of the World - absolutely beautiful and stunning! How can she write something like this? Yes, it may be a simple and straightforward story but I actually like it:)
