This dream felt unique; her lips held a sense of familiarity, even though she was a stranger. Her beauty was extraordinary, beyond description. An inexplicable feeling lingered that this dream held significance, though its meaning eluded me. Rising from my slumber, I prepared for school, leaving early to ensure punctuality. Along the way, I observed autumn's arrival, as leaves gently descended, adorning the earth with an array of colors. The first day of school for September 2023 had arrived. A pit stop for sustenance led to a chance encounter with a talkative classmate. We exchanged pleasantries and settled near the school, awaiting instructions.We were moved to a new room and nicer but without our old memories. I sat with my friend Alex on the same table and then it was time to introduce ourselves It was my turn, but something happened.... One of the students who was late suddenly appeared and I looked at her and i was speechless .It was the same girl that was in my dream It's like I've known her since I was a child, but this is the first time I've seen her live.After her apology to our teacher, she sat on the opposite row and introduced herself as each of us had done. Her name was May Everything went perfectly, they told us which books we need for the first term of the 11th grade. On my way home, I noticed a newly made sweet shop and decided to eat there. There was an abundance of sweet things, cakes, sweet sticks, rolls, muffins and others. I decided to settle on a donut with chocolate bars. The woman who served me was quite nice to me and wished me bon appetit. I came home my father was talking on the phone as always I went to my room to draw while listening to music.A month has passed since that day and everything was normal, or so I thought. When I woke up, I went to take a bath and noticed a wound on my leg, not knowing where it came from. My father had already left for work, but it was a day off for me. I sat down to read a book when I heard my phone ring. It was Christopher and he was very happy to call me out.I got ready, got my bike out and started. We met at the park and were glad to see each other. This was my older brother. He is 24 with a good job and has a girlfriend who is thinking about proposing to her soon. We went to eat something at the pastry shop I found a month ago. He ordered a cheesecake and I got some sweet sticks. I noticed that the new classmate was sitting at one of the last tables. She looked sad and worried. He left about 5 minutes after we arrived and I wondered why that was, but I didn't think much of it.While we were eating with my brother he was talking to me about whether I would like to go out with him and his friends to the movies next week. I agreed without even knowing what the film would be. We got up from the tables and said goodbye. I was walking home and saw May . She had fallen on the ground and was crying. It started to rain and I couldn't just watch her sitting defenseless and I reached out to her and covered her with my umbrella so she wouldn't get wet again. I stopped under a shelter and gave her my top so that she wouldn't walk with her stained clothes and I asked her what happened that she had fallen.She told me that her former classmates and classmates from the previous school bullied her and just after the pastry shop she ran into them. They pushed her into the mud and laughed at her. She cried huge tears and sat there hopelessly as the rain poured down. I tried to calm her down by offering to buy her something to drink and send her to her home so she wouldn't run into them again. We walked for a few minutes until we reached her apartment. She thanked me but said it in such a way that she didn't need to and didn't want anyone to see her like that. I started to say that she could tell me if there were any more problems, but before I could finish, she closed the door loudly. I assumed that she would be embarrassed and a little angry.I got home took a shower and my dad asked me why I was so late since my brother had come home earlier. I told him and he nodded and we sat down to eat dinner. It was lonely without mom. She passed away 3 years ago but there was still a void in our family.....

School started I noticed that May was gone and I wondered why. Our chemistry teacher asked if anyone knew anything about it but no one knew anything. I decided after school to go to them and find out what happened. I thought that I should get something so as not to go empty-handed and I decided to stop by the new pastry shop. It was closed for some reason so I got some chocolate and water from the neighborhood store.I knocked on the door and heard the voice of an older woman (35-40 years old). She opened the door for me and it turned out that it was exactly the woman from the pastry shop. And I guessed it was her mother. She asked me what I came for and I told her I was worried about May because she hadn't come to school. She smiled and said she was glad someone was worried about her because she had a hard time making friends. She greeted me and told me that by some miracle she managed to get home in time and only got away with a cold. If she had stayed longer outside in this rain, there would have been serious consequences, that's what the doctor told me.Her mother apologized profusely for not introducing herself and said her name was Diana and she was glad to meet you. Then I introduced myself and said; And I'm Tommy and I'm glad to meet you! ; I also told everything that happened between me and May and light tears started falling from her eyes. She hugged me and thanked me from the bottom of her heart. He then offered me something to drink while I waited for May to wake up and I asked for some tea as I was a bit cold. Some time passed and she woke up and came to us in the kitchen. Mother said :this is Tommy the boy who helped you yesterday! I looked at the face and noticed the gentle and brown eyes reminding me of a mountain and gentle air. And her skin was as white as soft and beautiful snow in a warm winter. Her lips were also as beautiful and tender as in my dream. Mother told her to sit while she went to get something to treat the three of them. She sat next to me. And I decided to ask her how she was feeling and if she was better. She replied that she was feeling better and thanked me again and was sorry for closing the door in my face like that. I also replied that I had no problem.I got curious and asked why exactly her parents chose the name May. She answered with joy and happiness that her name symbolizes spring of Greek origin. She added that her parents also fell in love in the month of March, just as spring begins.I was amazed by her statement. I had the feeling that I fell in love with her even more, even if I didn't know her very well. Her mother came back with rolls and we ate. They sent me away after that. We also gave each other phone numbers to keep in touch. On the way home I thought about her, her eyes, her hair, but mostly her lips and what a beautiful girl she really is. The fragrance was like a blooming rose and her hands were as tender as the wings of a mother sparrow......I have truly fallen in love, I thought to myself....

4 days until Halloween and I still don't know what to dress up as. I thought about being an astronaut or a butler, but I couldn't choose. May and I started going out and communicating a lot more often. I realized that she is quite a smart girl, funny and at the same time as beautiful as no other. She said she would help me with my Halloween costume and that made me happy. We had P.E the last class and played volleyball. It was girls against boys. I was a reserve along with Alex. I couldn't take my eyes off May. The precision that she performed, the jumps themselves were unique, and the dunks were at the same time so strong but so gentle as if a stone makes a glove in the lake.I told Alex that May invited me over to help me choose a design for my costume. He naturally laughed and hinted that it would be more than that. I blushed for a moment and told him that nothing like that would happen. As May and I walked home she offered to get me something to drink to return the gesture. We got to their place and started looking through costume magazines. There were many unique costumes, I stopped to be a butler. She told me to wait while she got a needle and thread to add the details to the costume..........

He's so handsome without even trying. I didn't know I'd ever like someone again but I feel like Tommy is different. The way he treats me and the looks he gives me is unique. But I still can't tell him anything. What if he doesn't like me back. Then it will be quite strange to talk to each other then. Anyway, I have to find the needle and thread now. So I found the thread now the needle. Aww, I think I found the needle, but I guess I cut myself...

I asked May what happened to make her scream and she said she cut herself looking for the needle. I was very sorry that she had to look for it instead of me ,so I offered to help her put a patch on it. I happened to have patches in my bag. I took one and told May to come to the tap so we could wash it off.

While looking at her hand and at the same time touching it I feel... As he holds my hand I feel...

Tommy/May: that my heart beats like never before!

I put the patch on and we started working on the costume and it turned out pretty well. We agreed that the costume would stay with her and I will pick it up when Halloween came. We said goodbye and I drove home. The thought of how gentle her hand was and could not leave my head.....

I hope Tommy is okay and I haven't alarmed him with that needle scratch on my finger. But in my opinion, it was a unique feeling for him to hold my hand. I don't think I can get this beautiful memory out of my head......
