As usual, I'm jogging around the park in the morning .The sky seem clear and blue. There is a cool fresh smell of flower came across me. Then I stop by my Uncle Minh's Bakery for some donuts with a cup of hot milk, it's my favorite meal after doing exercise every morning . When I get back to my dorm I notice it is now 6:20 A.M, still have enough time to change clothes and get ready for school . This is my third year in High School. My beloved class located next to the "phoenix tree", the type of tree that have beauty red flowers bloom in every summer. I'm sharing my dorm with two of my best friend, Anh and Mi. They are repairing books and supplies for school. We are really close and we treat each other like sisters. They both already had a boyfriend and I am the only that's still single. Every holiday or special ocassion like Valentine and Christmas, they would go out for a date and have a block of presents. I always choose to stay at home and all i have is just a pen with notebook to study. 

 I get to my class like every day. But today there is something special. My teacher introduced to us a new transfer student, he has an ideal height, black eyebrows and black eyes that seems really friendly. He was assign to sit next to me. Class start. I was nervous and feel kinda awkward. Then out of nowhere i tear out a piece of paper, write something on it and pass it next to him.

"Hi. Guess we would be partner for a while. I'm Huong."

He look at me with a smile and start to write down his answer.His handwriting is beautiful. 

"Hi! I'm Tuan. Nice to meet you, Huong. That's a beautiful name"

My face turn red and I whisper with a smile:

"Thanks."

Two periods quickly passed, I got carried out side of class by two of my best friend and they ask:

" How did you two get along so well?" "What did you guys talk about that was fun?" "I saw you were happy when look at him." "It the first time you ever start a conversation with a guy, Huong!"

 "Don't tell me you like him."

I immediately look inside, saw the girls surround Tuan. I feel somehow uncomfortable not knowing is it because i got so much questions to answer or something else. 

--------------------------------------

Tonight is somehow longer. I could not sleep. I keep thinking about Tuan and about my feeling. This is the first tine I ever feel happy when talk to and be around a guy. Maybe it just because he is so good looking and nice, a lot of people like him too. With me he is just a friend. Yes! he is just a friend. I must stop worry and go to sleep. Too tired.

--------------------------------------

Another day at school just like always. But i could not understand why i feel so tired that i couldn't get to eat donuts like everyday. Maybe because i didn't get much sleep yesterday. As soon as i get to class, i start to put my face down on my desk and sleep. After a while, there is a calm voice, try to reach me. Then i can feel someone shake my shoulder slowly, calling out my name:

 "Huong, Are you okay?"

I try to open my eye and realize it was Tuan, the new transfer student that sit next to me. He so nice and kind. His voice is so soft and gentle. I feel like listen to his voice actually make me feel a lot better. I try my best to reply:

"I'm tired."

Tuan slowly put his right hand on his forehead and his other hand on mine. I can see the worry start to appear on his face. I somehow find it funny so I give him a smile.

"Hold that smile until you are better. Let go to the nurse." Tuan said to me as he pick me up but I refuse

"It's okay. Don't worry." I said back.

"How is this okay. Your head is burning hot. Let me help you get to the nurse's office."

I can feel Tuan's kindness and thoughtful toward me. Tuan bring soup to and he stay there to keep me company and then leave to let me rest. I want to stay with him longer, I'm actually feel peaceful and safe when have Tuan around. And then I fianlly realize that... i had love Tuan. 

So this is what people called "love at the first sight" .
