Class was over for the day. Before heading home, Jessie stopped by the mall to buy stuffs in the bookstore for his school project. The bookstore was on the 2nd level so he took the escalator. The air was thin and cool as it passes by Jessie's arms, seemingly embracing him. He took a mid-deep breath. He was in no rush, so as he stepped onto the escalator, he was just looking around, subconsciously listening to the piano playing on the speakers all around. There were people in front and behind him, as they all ascend to the 2nd floor. Just parallel to where he stood was the way to get back to the 1st level. He looked ahead, and just as he looked up, something caught his eye. Descending down the other escalator was this girl the word 'beautiful' would be an understatement. Her hair was straight, had a shade of light brown. Her bangs was covering one of her eyebrows. She was in uniform, apparently from the same school with Jessie. Everything now seemed to go slow, the music was now a little louder. Jessie's attention was still locked on this schoolmate. As they come closer, Jessie's heart was all over his chest, he felt it warm and exploding in every beat. He was catching his breath now. He never felt anything like this. He was nervous, happy, in awe, confused and wanting at the same time. Her face was clearer now. Her eyes were tiny but very expressive. Her lips were that of an angel. Her skin was fairly white and definitely will be a pleasure to touch. She was glowing. She was holding her books to her chest. When they were just a breath away, their eyes collided. She let go of a sweet smile. Jessie looked down in awkward, now breathing deeper. He felt warm all over his arms. He stepped out of the escalator and hurriedly looked back. Looking at her back, the way she walks and carry herself, you could tell she's an absolute head turner. Jessie wasn't sure of what he felt that moment. Was it love at first sight? Or just infatuation deceiving him? He has no answers. Yet.
After buying the things he needed he drove back home, listening to mellow tunes. All the way home and even as he lay his head to bed, that mental picture he took of an angel at the mall was never off his mind. "I saw an angel today..." He thought to himself.
