Adriana Luna

Day One

She was the last person he expected to see walking towards him that first day of Junior year. It was as if she had walked directly from his imagination and into the rowdy school hallway. Kids were all around them inserting and removing their books from the dull deep green lockers that lined the walls. She didn’t know him, but he had known her his entire life. Seeing her was familiar. The way his heart skipped a beat and he lost all ability to speak was as natural to him as breathing.
