Orientation party. Got dragged here against my will. Didn't see why a returning student needed to show up to this kind of thing, but my friends wouldn't stop hassling me about it. So I just threw on some sweats and showed up. Figured I'd sit back, grab a drink, and dip. But then I spotted an unfamiliar face across the room. Tiny frame, barely any makeup. Just some light foundation and maybe a tinted lip balm. Nothing like how most girls go all out these days, and honestly, that made her stand out even more. Soft brown hair catching the light, sitting there with this shy little smile. She looked so... peaceful. Quiet. From that moment, I couldn't stop staring. It was like she was moving in slow motion while everyone else was rushing around. Then our eyes met. Her pupils dilated for just a second, like she got caught off guard. I didn't look away. Instead, I rested my chin on my hand and gave her this slow smile. Pretty. She's really fucking pretty. Not the kind that hits you like a truck, but the more you look, the prettier she gets. The kind of face you never get tired of. The kind you want to keep staring at. That's when my buddy elbowed me. "Yo, you know who that is? She was the freshman rep." Said she gave a speech at orientation, and he saw her handing out candy on Valentine's Day, giggling with her friends. Freshman representative. Popular girl. But she still looks so shy. Funny that I'm just finding this out now. Anyway, good thing I came to this orientation party.
