First Glance

/Intro/ I fell in love with her smile because it was odd- her words were sweet, but she looked strange. Her smile would unwind once she was alone, her eyes narrowed in tiredness, her legs looked weak, her arms almost dropping her books, and her stomach growling out of hunger, but- around others, she played the part of a hero with a smile. She saved many, helped others, defended herself, and took care of everyone, no matter what. She acted one way but was another- everyone saw her as a perfect doll, but I only saw a broken girl giving a smile for everyone because it brightened their days- her smile made them happy, and it made her happy too. He wasn't like regular people; he didn't push me aside- he kept me close. He wanted to hear me, see the real me, and that scared me. He was able to tell the truth, see what others didn't, fight for what he wanted or knew what was right, no matter what I did- he always saw the happiness... why was he ok with being rejected? Why was he ok with pushing me over the finish line? Why was he ok with losing? Why was he ok with anything I said? Why was he ok with me yelling at him? Why was he ok with me? Why did he want me? *First Glance* {|Warning: This story contains tough topics of suicide, abuse, mental illnesses, self-harm, s*xual talk, misleading ideas of romance, lgbtq, alcohol, drugs/overdosing, rape, trauma, etc. If you have a tough time with these topics- please stray away from this book.

Chapter [01]

I stared at the picture of Aanu with her new boy toy- I tsked, putting my phone away as I arrived at my locker. I pulled out the paper I got from the office earlier, turning the lock to the right then left- I tried to pull it open but nothing. I refreshed the code and tried a few more times again until I groaned in frustration.

"WATCH OUT!"

I turn around, seeing a ball come straight at me, and before I could react- a girl steps in front of me and clutches the ball in her arms. "Woah! Watch out there, J!" She barks at the guy as he whines over to her- "Come on, Smiley, you saved the day!" The guy said as she rolled her eyes, smacking the ball against his chest- "I won't be here to save you all the time." She mentions as he nods, "I know." "Now get to class; it's starting soon." She pushes him down the hall and glances at me. "You ok?" I hadn't realized, but I was practically gawking over her. "Yeah, of course! Thank you!" I blurted quickly as she smiled; she seemed a bit confused and touched my collar- giving a big curious smile.

"You're new-"

I nod, "Do you need help with anything?" She asks as I knock on my locker- "Can you help me open my locker?" I felt embarrassed to ask, but she seemed so excited to help. "Can I see your combination- if I'm allowed?" She was so polite that I just put the paper in her palm- she chuckled and proceeded to the locker. "So watch my fingers, ok?" She said as I nodded, she turned the lock and opened my locker. "Hey, thank you-" She closed the locker, "Huh?" I asked as she passed me the paper. "Now, you try. You need to learn to do it yourself, and I just showed you." She explained, and I nodded, trying a few times until I got it right.

"Thank you!" I blushed as she nodded, "No problem- Now I should get going. See you." She turned around, walking down the hall. Quickly I stuffed some things away and followed after her. "Hey, I never got your name."

I blurted out as she noticed me, "Call me, Smiley." She said as I nodded, "You?" She pointed to me, "Call me, Ad." She nodded with a delightful grin, "Alright, Ad." She nodded. "If you ever need help around the school again, just ask for Smiley in the front office." She pointed at the yellow sash on her arm, which was for mentors only- student guides who help others around school. "I'll definitely keep that in mind." I bobbed my head in excitement, "Glad to hear-" She paused, going upstairs. "Adios, Ad. Hope to see you again." She winked as I nodded, "Bye."
