Until Love Finds Us Again

The first day of school was never supposed to be special. At least,that's what i thought. i walked through the school gates with my bag hanging from one shoulder, trying not to look as nervous as i felt. new classrooms. new classmates. new face. everything felt unfamiliar. i looked down at the piece of paper in my hand. grade 8-room 204. "Great" i whispered "I'm already lost". I turned around, hoping to find someone who could help me. That's when i saw him. He was standing near the stairs, talking with his friends he wasn't doing anything extraordinary. he wasn't trying to get anyone's attention. but somehow, my eyes stayed on him. For a moment, our eyes met. He smiled. And I immediately looked away. Why did my heart suddenly feel so strange? "Are you looking for Room 204?" I froze. It was him. Islowly turned around. "Y- Yeah." He pointed toward the hallway. "it's upstairs.to second door on the left." "oh.Thank you." "No problem." He started walking away,but then stopped. "wait. you're new here,right?" I nodded. "Yeah." He smiled again. "I'm. adrian." I hesitated before answering. "I'm Mia." "Mia", He repeated, as if making sure he remembered it. Then he walked away. I stood there for a few seconds, watching him disappear into the crowd. I didn't know it yet,but that simple conversation will become one of the memories I would hold onto for years. Later that morning, i entered my classroom. I chose a seat near the window and quietly unpacked my things. The teachers enter the few minutes later. "Good morning, everyone.We have a new student joining our class." Everyone looked at me. I felt my cheeks heat up. "Please introduce yourself." I stood. "Hi. I'm mia.i recently transferred here. i hope you can be friends." A few students smiled. Then I hear the familiar voice from the back. "Welcome to the class, mia". I looked over. Adrian. He gave me a small smile. And somehow, my nervousness disappeared. Maybe coming to this school wasn't such a bad idea after all. Ijust didn't know that the person who made my first day better will do some day become the person i'd have the hardest time saying goodbye to. And maybe... Some people aren't meant to stay forever. Maybe they're only maent to leave a mark on your heart- until love finds you again
