OMG! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! WEISS SCHNEE, THE ATLESIAN WOMAN FROM THE OTHER DAY, IS IN MY BUSINESS STATISTICS CLASS!
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I should know the name, "Schnee". Have I heard it somewhere before? I'll look it up later.
Anyway, I know it's been awhile since school began, but I found out we were in the same class when she was called up to solve a problem on the board the other day. She's so, so smart. And she made the lesson much easier to understand, even though math comes naturally to me. Weiss has this voice that draws you in, like, when she explains how she gets to a solution, it's hard not to stay focused. At least with me, it was. I'm not sure about my classmates.
Since then, I've been scouting where she sits every class period. Every time I try to find a seat around her, it's usually full around her and I'd go sit in the front like I usually do. But today? Today was different. Today, I was running a little late...No, I didn't stay up too late doing homework I forgot about!...not the point. I ran late to class and found that my usual seat was taken, right? So I was looking around for a seat when I saw (*drum roll*) Weiss sitting alone in the very back of the class. And did yours truly save her from loneliness and a quiet time? Yes, yes she did. And without being the nervous wreck, bonus points!
Truth be told, I was shocked she remembered who I was, much less willing to talk with me. We didn't have a lot of time before class started, but her voice made me unable to talk. When I hear her speak, it feels natural for me to sit and listen. Listen to what? Everything. Every inflection, every pitch changes, every way a word passes her lips. It's incredible how her speaking can silence the room.
When class was in session, she stopped talking, but the way she focused is just as amazing. She wrote down every important information and had her full attention on the lesson. I noticed a cute little quirk she has: when she starts a new action, she tucks stray strands of hair behind her ear, allowing me to see how serious she is about learning.
I must sound creepy. Sound like I'm staring at her all the time. I promise, we are… I don't know what we are. I really want us to be friends, but how do I do that? I wonder if I'm being annoying?
But her voice is alluring and I'm in love with it. If I could, I'd want to hear about her day. I could listen to her speak all day if she wanted.
I've heard she's been coming to the café a lot lately. If I can't get her in class, I can get her during my shifts. Hopefully.
