It was starting to get a little chilly outside as the colder days were approaching. We were getting a month long vacation after the end of our exams during the ending week of the month.
It was just a usual day at the school; usual rushed revised lessons of teachers before exams, usual mixture of bored, interested and noisy teenagers in the classroom. Everything was usual ,probably except for my heart. That particular day my heart was beating unusually loudly and rapidly.
The reason was; a handsome boy transferred to our school or let's say our classroom that day. In fact, two boys transferred to our class but I had my eyes only on the one I was interested in. I wouldn't even spare a glance at the other one.
Never in my 15 years old life have I ever had my heart beat like that before. I, Zoey ,felt a tingly and warm sensation in my heart for the first time ever.
Though my name is Zoey I wasn't the joyful or cheerful one. Even among my two other siblings I'm the quietest one. I wasn't much interactive with other kids in class either. I was a quiet and shy kid who wore glasses, the who had little to no presence and limited number of friends. I wasn't a total nerd but I did get in the top 5 positions of the class. I hated small talks and didn't know how to keep the conversation going. I myself would say that I was quite a nerdy looking and boring 15 year old. Despite that I had few friends who were my everything and my saviours during my high school days.
It might be because I was feeling this new feeling I never felt before but I chose to blame the warm winter sun despite the chilly days for making me feel all warm from inside out, for making me blush from the warmth and for making me fall in love with that boy, I blamed and still blame the warmth I felt during that cold day.
They came 2 or 3 weeks before our exams. We all thought what an unusual time it was to transfer school but till this day I don't know the reason they transferred during that unusual time. My stupid teenage ass liked that boy from the moment he entered classroom. He wasn't really tall like the boys in our class but he sure was one of the best looking one I had come across at that time. From the moment he spoke my heart had already skipped hundreds of beats. Such was his voice and his face or such naïve I was to fall for a boy I've seen for the first time. He introduced himself with a bit of a husky voice as Michael. That's right Michael was my first love, the love I would never want to experience again and the boy I never wish to see again.
