" I can see skies reflected in your eyes…"

Even at a very young age, Justin became more certain about his love for music. When he joined their church choir, they found out that he had a beautiful voice, like deep autumn chimes. His parents and teachers encouraged him to play instruments and to continue singing, he became more confident and his spirits soared higher. He joined many singing groups at school and participated in stage plays and musicals. He found himself becoming popular because of his talent.

It was in one of those school musical activities where he volunteered his talent that he met Janet. She was part of the group that prepared the show materials and props backstage. Justin arrived before their song practice and he saw this brown haired girl in a plaid skirt on her knees painting lovely colorful sceneries for the show. He bended down beside her and told her how pretty her paintings were. She smiled at him, no one among the students at school ever praised her work. She was startled to see that, although she did not know his name, he was one of the popular boys whom she sees singing onstage. She recalls seeing him as being the tall one with the golden hair, he had a kind smile and his blue eyes were so warm, his young voice sincere. He did not make her afraid. So instead of running away, like she may normally do when a stranger approached her, she smiled back and thanked him for the compliment.

He introduced himself as David Justin and told her that he was part of the cast in their summer school musical program (when actually he was really the lead, but he was never one to impress and he didn't want to drive her away). He asked, "What's your name?" She introduced herself very simply as Janet, she really didn't know what else to say, she wished she were not so shy. His smile grew as if hearing her name was delightful. With his smiling blue eyes, he asked her," Can I be your friend? ". Janet was charmed by the way he made her feel special by asking to be her friend, she did not find it hard to reply graciously " Yes David Justin you can be my friend". He seemed so pleased with her reply so she beamed back a smile at him. He saw that she had the loveliest of brown eyes with golden flecks like the skies of late afternoon in autumn. Justin's fascination was broken off when they called him for the rehearsal. He said good-bye and told her he will see her around.

Janet did not see Justin for several days, not that she was looking for him she told herself. She was just about to forget the fair haired boy who introduced himself as David Justin, when she saw him outside their classroom door, leaning on the wall waiting for her after class. When he saw her, his blue eyes lit up and with a bright smile, he greeted her," Hi Janet! I've been looking for you, I saw you in this class…" Janet managed a shy smile, "Hello David Justin, where have you been?" He told her that they have been practicing hard for the summer program these past few days and today was their first free day so he sought her out. He asked Janet if he could walk with her back to their homes. When he asked her where she lived, he learned that she stays at the other side of town where he lived. Janet found that funny and gave him a merry laugh, she asked, "How can we walk home together when you live on the other side of town?" Justin warmly smiled at her and said, "Then we'll walk up to the park, that would be between where the two of us live." Janet smiled back and thought that David Justin was not one to easily give up.

Janet and Justin walked around the park and talked about school, they were both attracted to a place near the lake. Justin asked Janet if she knew how to play skimming stones on the water. She looked up at him with those big brown eyes and told him she did not know the game. Justin smiled and said, "I'll teach you how, you will like it!" He got himself a handful of pebbles and showed Janet how to throw them at the water so that the pebble jumped across the lake. Janet beamed him a lovely smile, he gave her a half handful of the pebbles in her left hand, he placed one pebble on her right palm, enclosed held her hand with his and taught her how to throw. She rippled with merry laughter as she was able to make the pebble bounce across the water. She became good at it too, and they both shared a wonderful time laughing away the remaining hours before each went home. Janet decided she liked this kind fair-haired boy named David Justin, so the next time he asked to go the park with her, she said yes.

From that day forward, when Justin did not have any long rehearsal, he would wait for Janet outside her classroom so they could walk home together. One time, Justin was practicing a song by himself and he found himself thinking of Janet, thinking about her made him happy. He thought about how he always wanted to be with this special brown-haired girl with the lovely brown eyes, he concluded, at a very young age, that he loved her.
