| A Missed Angel |
| written by Brandi |
| I know I'll never forget the first moment I saw a true angel walking. His name was Justin Timberlake. He was truly an angel with golden brown curly hair. When the sun shined its rays down on him, his hair glowed like a golden halo had appeared. His smile was beautiful, with those perfect pouty pink lips. His eyes were electric blue that gave you a shock everytime you looked at them. I loved the way they twinkled when he laughed and his laugh itself was musical. It wasn't his physical beauty that got my attention. Well it got my attention, but it was his invisible beauty that astounded me. He cared for his friends and other people. He would listen to anyone's problems and try to help anyway he could. He would never leave you hanging. He was always there if you needed him. His sense of humor could put even the devil in a good mood. He always made everyone feel better when they were down. He wouldn't stop until that person has cracked a smile and let out a chuckle. He was admired and respected by everyone. With all there is to be conceited about, he was extremely humble. He was also every girl's dream. I don't blame them cause he was my dream also. Just one tiny problem. I'm a guy. He would never feel the same about me as I do him. So I never confronted him about it. I was too scared of rejection. So I just relished all the times he was near me and talked to me. We were in high school and had chemistry together. So I would wait for him by his locker and we would always walk to class together. That was my favorite time of the day, when it was just us. He was always my partner in lab and we would be sitting so close I could hardly stand it. Then one day, I couldn't believe my luck. I got to eat lunch with him all by myself. I was in heaven. He was spending all his time with me. I felt so special, like I was on top of the world. At home I would lye in bed and think to myself, "If only I could have someone like Justin Timberlake. I wouldn't dream of looking at another male if I had him." But I knew that someone this special and wonderful had to be dating someone I couldn't even compare to. I just knew I didn't stand a ghost of a chance. Then graduation came. I finally had to say goodbye to my all time crush. I never got rid of the feelings I held for him. It was supposed to be a happy moment, but having to leave him brought it all down. A year later, I saw his best friend at the local mall. We got together and caught up on some old times while having lunch. I finally got up the nerve to ask him about Justin. With a lump in my throat I began. "So how's Justin doing?" I asked. "Well he got over you," was his reply. "What are you talking about?" I asked confused. "It was really cruel of you to lead him on like that. You were always walking him to class and making him think you were interested. Remember the time you had lunch with him? He ended up staying by the phone for the entire weekend. He was sure you were going to call and ask him out." I couldn't believe what he told me. I was so afraid of rejection, I never bothered to let him know how I felt. If I had asked him out, what was the worst he could've done? He would say no and I wouldn't have a date. I don't know why I didn't ask cause well I didn't have a date with him anyhow by not asking. What makes it worse is that I probably could have! THE END |
