Who is she?
207 Words
Yuri had never been one to notice people too much. She preferred to stay in her quiet corner, sketching lyrics on the back of her notebooks while the world moved around her. High school was predictable—classes, the hum of chatter, the occasional burst of drama that never truly concerned her.
Until Aicy walked in.
It wasn't like Yuri was waiting for someone to change her life. She didn’t believe in destiny, in moments that shifted the course of fate. But when Aicy stepped into their classroom that morning—confident, bright, effortless—Yuri felt something strange.
Not an immediate attraction. Not some clichéd "love at first sight." No, it was something quieter. Like an unnamed feeling resting in the back of her mind, waiting to be acknowledged.
“Aicy’s the new transfer student,” one of their classmates whispered to her. “She came from the city—apparently super smart, kind of a rebel.”
Yuri didn’t respond. She simply watched as Aicy introduced herself, a lopsided smile on her lips, her tone casual but warm.
And then, for just a second—Aicy's eyes met Yuri’s.
Something flickered.
Aicy smiled.
And Yuri, for reasons she didn’t quite understand, felt her heartbeat stumble.
