"Did you know miss Ada, that you have the prettiest hair?"

Our hands were interlocked swinging softly as we

Walked through the hallways filled with teenagers talking about sex and the math tests that they failed.

It didn't feel as blaring,
  The curious eyes that stared at the odd pair that was me and him,

   With my cocoa skin
        And his fair skin
that looked so different against mine.

But Because of the the way he squeezed my hand or rubbed his thumb along the back of it, it didn't feel
    So
       Odd.

"Really?"

His head turned down towards me and locks of his copper hair fell on his face,

"It's so soft and pretty
    And it always smell like lilies. And
Lilies are my favorite."

This made me giggle In a way that masked the blush that rose in my cheeks but didn't quite show through my    Dark   Hued  cheeks.

"I love your voice,"

I said in dizzy moment.

"It's sounds like familiar distant moments that you forget you had stored away and all the sweet things you could imagine,"

I paused looking at my shoes for a moment before regaining my thoughts,

"Your going to be someone someday, I know it."

We continued walking as her suede ankle boots clicked against the tiled floors and the sound of students whirling by became quieter and quieter.

So i leaned my head against his shoulder as he
    Brought
          His
               Arm around my shoulder pulling me in close.

"That's the plan, sweetheart."

And by the way his voice became quieter i knew he didn't believe any word that came out of my mouth which made me frown

    But
        Then i felt him swoop me up in his arms and run down the hallway to the exit where everyone was at the end of the day,

And that made me laugh so
   Hard that my eyes squeezed shut,
       And my stomach hurt.

It all felt like a nostalgic sweet moment that was happening so slowly so I could savor every drop,
    That bubbly
        Buzzing
              Feeling.

So I let him swoop me away as I thought about seeing his name on the big screens and

   My only wish at that
       moment
           Was that he would remember
     Me
  As the girl who's hair smelled like lilies.
