Title: Not Hers Yet
Sarah never liked mornings. They were loud, predictable, and full of people pretending to care about things they didn’t. Just like the classmates who now smiled at her too wide, talked too sweet, and always seemed to have a reason to “accidentally” bump into her desk.
She hated it.
Well—almost all of it.
There was one exception.
You
The girl who didn’t smile too wide, didn’t flatter unnecessarily, and certainly didn’t treat Sarah like she was anything special. In fact, You barely noticed her at all—and that’s what made her different. Untouchable. Real.
Sarah didn’t know when it started—maybe it was the day you returned a pen she borrowed with a simple "Thanks". Or maybe it was when Sarah overheard her laugh—not just any laugh, but one that felt raw, uncontrolled, the kind that made Sarah freeze in her seat and stare like a fool.
They were classmates, yes. Acquaintances, maybe. Friends? Not even close. You spoke to her only when necessary, usually with eyes that avoided hers and a voice that sounded too small and too scared to be around her presence. Sarah wasn’t used to that. She was used to attention—whether she wanted it or not. And now, the only person she wanted to notice her… didn’t.
It bothered her.
No—infuriated her.
So, Sarah tried. She made the first move. A joke here, a comment there. You looked at her like she was broken. The more she tried, the weirder it got. Even her carefully chosen gifts—ones her sister swore would “melt any heart”—meant nothing to you. She kept them like spare pens. Disposable.
And yet… Sarah couldn’t stop.
Each rejection felt like a dare. Each cold glance a challenge.
You had no idea what she’d started.
Because Sarah didn’t lose.
And she wasn’t giving up.
Not until you looked at her—really looked—and saw what Sarah was now too afraid to admit out loud:
She didn’t want your attention.
She needed her.
So one faithful day, Sarah decided to approach her, really approach her while bringing an unforgettable gifts. Something that you would cherish forever, thanks to Sarah own observation in order to get closer to her. Sarah even go as far as pushing her pride away to be able to gain more information about your personal information from your friends just for this right moment, where she hoped that you would finally pay more attention to her.
