Just a little something I wrote, hope you enjoy!

There they sat, on an early August day. Knowing the impact this decision had, they went hand in hand, and took a leap of faith.

He had just met her, on one summer's day in January. Sweaty palms and oily hair, he was introduced to her by a mutual friend. Though not in person (for that was to come later), he was quite intrigued by this girl. No apprehension, or fear; he was comfortable with her, even when he couldn't be comfortable with himself.

She was different, for she had known about him for longer than expected. Always looking at him from a distance, he spoke to her without saying any words. She knew he was different, not like other boys. The boy with unkempt hair, and the untucked shirt, who's brain was filled with thoughts of video games and music.

They didn't know it, but their fates would soon be intertwined.

Later that month, they finally met each other in person at an art gallery. Hitting it off, they soon grew to become closer and closer. A trip to the library, or a game of tekken between the two, where competitiveness was the order of the day, it was never a dull affair between them.

And although events threatened to fracture their friendship, it was ultimately a case of triumph through adversity, where the girl, had managed to work up the courage to speak once more. The boy, knowing he felt the same way, took the opportunity to be something new, to start a life he had previously been afraid of.

And there they sat, on an early August day. Hand in hand, ready to take a leap of faith.
