I walked home from school like any other day. The school is in the neighborhood just across the street from my house, so it only takes about five minutes to walk. There was a slight breeze as I turned onto the street that led to my house. When I turned my head to look down the other road which branched off from this one, I noticed a girl walking towards me. She had long, dark brown hair, and wore a gray jacket. She was still a ways off, and had her eyes cast down. I wanted to meet this girl, so I put my backpack down and pretended to adjust the straps while waiting for her to catch up. As I looked up to see where she was at, I found, to my dismay, that she had turned into the lawn of the corner house and entered the white gate that led to the backyard. Staring at the gate she had just disappeared into, I continued walking, wondering why she had entered there and not her front door, or if she had noticed me and this was merely her way of avoiding contact with me. I kept my eyes on the white fence as I walked by her house. After a moment, I could see the top of her head appear and her eyes watching me as I continued. Once I had come to a point where I could no longer see her, I turned my focus back on the road and continued down the street.
Perhaps this is not what the boy was thinking, but I happen to know that the girl's name is Noelle. I've always wanted to be known as that strange/mysterious shy girl.
