your eyes scanned through the classroom, searching for a specific person. dark brown hair had caught your attention. although many girls boasted dark brown hair, this girl was special. she had a way of lighting up every room she stepped foot in. her smile was contagious, and seemingly flawless, it could even be described as a remedy for a bad day.

the girl that possessed this enticing smile was none other than the one and only danielle marsh. she was an outstanding student, president of the surfing club, and was on the student council. her academic achievements were only the beginning of it all. she also possessed an extremely alluring visual. yet not even that could compare to her bewitching personality.

you liked to say that she had the personality of an angel, always putting others before herself, helping no matter the situation. she was humorous and had an outstanding moral compass. she was always kind and understanding. even the dullest students enjoyed her presence. you had observed all of this first hand, due to being seated behind her almost every school year.

you had never been too fond of school, yet you found yourself yearning to return every single time just to see her again. danielle had that effect on people. you did your best to avoid getting sick, although it could be considered mildly irrational and odd, you did your best to ensure perfect attendance. you woke up everyday, dragged yourself out of bed, and went to school, hoping to see her smile once again. it had become some sort of routine for you.

although you had been in the same class for almost six years, you had never spoken to one another. you kept to yourself and disappeared for most of your free period, while danielle remained with her friend group. you didn't want to force the interaction, fearing that it would feel awkward and leave a bad impression. so you waited and waited, hoping that every day would be the day you talked to her. yet that day never seemed to come.

the days had turned into weeks, and weeks into months, then before you knew it, it had been years. you had slightly given up hope, yet you still enjoyed her smile. you had chosen to just observe her from a distance, waiting for the moment to come.

when school let out for summer, your world seemed to turn into an old black and white tv. your life continued, but it was rarely fun. you occasionally ran into her while exploring new cafés and shops. those moments became your fleeting happiness.

the sound of chalk moving along the blackboard filled the room. the class room was silent aside from the random creaking of the wooden chairs. you looked down at you watch, which read 1:27, and sighed, allowing your head to fall onto your now crossed arms. you moved your pencil along the lined paper and scribbled a few words. a small pain forming on your middle finger from holding the pencil too tight.

you let go of the pencil and looked up only to find danielle marsh staring at you. your eyes widened slowly before your body moved on its own. your head quickly looked down, your eyes shifting direction rapidly. a well manicured hand could be seen sliding a small paper onto your notebook. your eyes stared at the paper and you began to become curious.

you lifted your head slowly and reached to grab the paper. opening the neatly folded piece of paper, you saw a question.

‘did you understand the lesson?’

you grabbed your pencil and answered the question. lightly tapping on your desk, you caught danielle’s attention and sliding the paper towards her. she grabbed the paper and read your response. she quickly wrote something down and placed it back on your table. she had written another question down.

‘can you explain it to me after school?’

you hastily wrote down a simple ‘yes’ and returned the paper.

danielle turned and smiled at you. your face warmed up, your heart beat accelerated. you smiled back, your eyes turning into small crescents.

for the rest of the class you were in a state of euphoria, your dopamine levels seemed to have reached an all-time high. a small smile remained on your face. the rest of the class seemed to go by so slowly. you glanced up at the clock every few seconds, wondering if time had slowed down. you began to grow impatient, your leg bouncing up and down rapidly.

73 long and dreadful minutes had finally passed. now you only had one class left before you would meet up with danielle. you grabbed your stuff and put them in your bag. you looked up from your bag to see danielle.

“can we meet in the gym?” she asked. “i have volleyball practice today.”

“uh, yeah sure.” you said, mentally checking your schedule. “for how long do you have practice..?”

“not too long, just about half and hour.” she said, tugging on her bag’s strap.

“ok, i’ll see you there then.” you said, grabbing your bag and hastily walking out of the classroom.

after another 80 minutes, classes had finally concluded. you made your way to the gym and walked at a quick pace. you opened the gym door and there she was. danielle spotted you and showed you were to sit and place your things. you set your things down on the bleachers and took out your phone.

you checked the time and saw it read 4:10, you looked back up and saw the team begin their drills. your lack of knowledge on the sport was finally revealing itself. you continued observing, noticing small details about danielle that you had never seemed to notice. the small frown on her brow when she couldn't receive the ball, the way she shook her head lightly when she began to become frustrated. the way she tapped the tip of her foot on the floor before the game began interested you.

you continued that for the next half hour. when the buzzer sounded, danielle grabbed a water bottle and jogged over to you.

“what’d you think?” she said, promptly taking a quick sip of water.

“it's cool,” you started. “looks a bit tiring though.”

“it is tiring,” she paused briefly, presumably to catch her breath. “but it’s really fun.”

“seems fun..” you mumbled. “should we get started?” you asked, looking at your watch.

“oh yeah, of course.” she said, smiling at you. “i’ll go get my notebook.” danielle ran down the bleachers and disappeared into the locker room. she came back shortly, her notebook and pencil in hand.

“so you have to add 273 to the degrees celsius to get kelvin..?” danielle repeated, although it seemed more like a question.

“yeah, and to get celsius from kelvin, you have to subtract 273.” you explained. “if you need more help you can ask me whenever.”

“i’ll make sure to do that.” she said, warmly smiling at you. “how are you going to get home..?”

“oh, i’m going to walk.” you said, putting your stuff away in your bag.

“well then, i’m going to head out.” she said, bowing her head slightly. “thank you for the help, i’ll see you tomorrow.” she smiled and lowered her head once again.

“bye danielle.” you said, waving lightly at her.

you watched as she went down the bleachers and out the doors. you released a breath you didn't know you were holding. your heart was racing and your body temperature was high. you picked up your bag and began to leave the gym.

after what seemed to be fifteen minutes, you had arrived home. you made your way directly to your room. you set your book bag down near your desk and grabbed a sheet of lined paper. pulling your pencil out of its case, you began to document the details of your day. you began from the beginning, explaining a potential injury due to a simple moment of carelessness, all the way to the end, when you helped danielle after school.

finishing your journal entry, you wrote down the date and time and ‘signed off’ for the night. you began to do some simple chores alongside your schoolwork, and then you ate dinner.

when dinner ended, you excused yourself and went to shower and do your nighttime routine. you finished the day by taking some vitamins and then you did your dental hygiene routine and headed to sleep.

(pretend there is a spacer🤥)

your alarm blared loudly, echoing throughout your mildly empty room. you sluggishly moved your hand to turn off the alarm. once the alarm was off, you yawned and began to rub your eyes gently with your hands. you began to sit up and stretched your arms out as if you were trying to grab something. yawning once again, you got up from your bed and finally began your day.

you got dressed, dragging your feet along with every move. finally being pulled out of your tired feeling, you headed to the kitchen and put a slice of bread into the toaster. you moved around quickly, reaching into the fridge to grab some strawberries. you washed the red fruit as you waited for the bread to be done. you sliced the fruit and placed it into a small bowl.

the toaster dinged and the bread shot up. you rapidly grabbed a plate and placed the bread on the plate. you set the plate and the bowl down on the kitchen island and sat down. you took this time to check your social media and notifications you received at night. after around fifteen minutes you finished eating and set the dishes in the sink, opting to wash them when you got back from school. you washed your hands and grabbed your bag, you headed out the door a few moments later.

the walk to school was quiet. the wind blew gently and then sun shone dimly. the sky was a light shade of grey, many clouds could be seen. you enjoyed the light breeze as it grazed your skin. the day seemed to be going perfectly, after all, the shade was always your place.

continuing your walk, you put on your headphones and began listening to some music. scent by oceanfromtheblue started to play. you immersed yourself in the beat and subconsciously began to walk faster. you arrived at school in no time and there stood danielle.

had she been waiting for you? maybe you were hallucinating?

“y/n!” she called out. she motioned for you to come closer.

you approached her and took off your headphones. you hesitantly walked closer to her.

“i wanted to thank you for your help.” she said, grabbing something out of her bag. “my mom made them last night.”

she held a brown paper bag in her hands. you took the bag from her and opened it. inside were cookies, multiple types and of different shapes and sizes.

“thank you.” you said, smiling at her. you pinched yourself discreetly. you were under the belief that you were dreaming. “they smell good, i’ll eat them when i get home.”

you thanked her once again and hid your goodbyes and headed off to your class. once you arrived at your classroom, you sat down and stared out the window.

“did i make a good impression?” you asked yourself, again and again. “maybe we'll be friends in the future.”

many thoughts ran through your mind. your waiting had finally paid off, you had made a good impression, and you had finally become acquaintances.

“i'll wait patiently again.” you thought. then you heard the small patters of the raindrops. it suddenly begun raining. the forecast had predicted sunny days for the rest of the week.

“huh, how odd.” you said, watching the rain fall.

you looked out the window and saw danielle standing in the rain. you leaped from your seat and rushed out, your umbrella in hand. you raced down the school stairs, nearly tripping, and out the main entrance. you opened your umbrella and walked up to her.

“you're going to get sick.” you said, holding the umbrella over her head. “let's go inside, you’ll get cold out here.”

you failed to notice danielle’s teary eyes.

“i’m going home.” she mumbled.

“huh?” you said. “do you not feel well or something..?”

“yeah, i feel sick.” she replied. danielle didn't bother looking up from the ground. her head hung low and she sniffles every once in a while.

“are you ok? do you need medicine or something?” you asked, lowering your face to look at her face.

that's when you took notice of her tear stained cheeks and red eyes.

“what happened?” you asked, you placed your hand on her shoulder.

“he broke up with me.” she said, looking you in the eye. “so suddenly, i thought we were doing fine.”

“it's his loss, i don't know one person that wouldn't like being with you.” you said. “there's a place near here, it's a flower shop and a café.”

you placed you hand on her back and began tracing shapes on her back. you took danielle's hand and let go of the umbrella and began walking off towards the café.

the doorbell chimed as you and danielle entered the place. your hair was dripping water but danielle was smiling. you told her to order whatever she wants and you headed off to the floral shop. you grabbed a daisy. you payed for it and walked back to danielle.

“what'd you get”? you asked her.

“a scone.” she replied.

“ooo, good choice, the scones here are so good.” you said, you handed danielle the daisy. “for you.”

“daisies can mean new beginnings.” you said.

“thank you y/n.” she said.

you two spent a long time at the café. you got to know each other and talked about your passions.

it seems that even in concrete a daisy can bloom. with enough patience and love, it can bloom into something beautiful. it could even change your life, turn something dull into something colorful.
