Enchanted
Across the street Leena saw a pretty frame hanging at the stationary shop.She could see the frame everyday while crossing Wood street everytime she goes to school.There was this small cafe with giggles and laughter of people, barking dogs with hungry eyes and a spot where Leena could see the entire Wood street getting it's full diversion to different ways.Leena enjoyed using this way.
Like all other day Leena took the road across Middleton street past Winds Street and stopped at the flower shop.She could see the colours flowing everywhere from that corner of the street where the shop " Camellia" stood.And there he was standing across the street.
It was not unknown to Leena that the boy used to be there every morning wearing the uniform of "Scholar's Heritage High" , one of the most reputed school of their time.She knew that he would be there.She knew that this boy stood there only because of her and not for the flowers at Camellia like her.She was curious about his name and identity but she never could assemble the courage to ask him.
Leena took the usual path and went straight to school.On the way she remembered how she bumped into that boy one day on the same alley where they met every time.It was her first encounter.She dropped all the photo copies that she was supposed to submit that day.She lost her favourite Dora key ring that day too.She kept on thinking what made that guy stand there everyday.She had many questions , about his grade, age, and his pupose of standing there.She was kind of used to seeing hm at the Middleton Street.
