"As I lay on my hospital bed , my parents were sobbing like their world just flipped upside down and I couldn't understand why"-Atlas
Hi my name is Atlas and here's what actually happened.
I was a poor, broke guy for haim town.I barely managed to get into college by a scholarship and my familyconditions were also not great......perhaps it was byod's grace I managed to get admission in this collage. “Sweety, go to sleep. It’s late. Isn’t tomorrow your first day of college?” my mom said."Got it, let me finish this portrait firthi
"Ok but don't forget to wash your hand when you're done"
The next day
(Alarm ringing for the 7th time)
“Ummmmm" (Stretching)
"What time is it?
"As I went to check my phoneMy jaw dropped"Whattt it's 8 already! And my college starts at 8:15"
As I jump off my bed and I slipped on the paintbrush that I threw on the floor last night and spilled water color right on my head
"Cheezz, I've never been in such dumb situation in my entire lifeeee!"
"As my mom prepared my breakfast , I was filling my college registration form
"Uhh mom, can u tell me how old I am... I just can't remember" I s
"What?? You're 23!" After a long pause
"Mom, I know that - I was testing if you really know you're only son's age" I said playfully
"Ok bye mom I'm leaving"
In college
As I walked through the campus, I stood in awe by the view—green mountains and magnificent trees everywhere.
"Hmmmm!!......I want to paint this. This might be the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen in my entire life!“
I said in excitementJust I was getting ready to get lost in the beauty of the the nature, a marathon girl bump straight in my head
"Ummmmm, what in the world!" I said with myy eyes closed
As I open my eyes-
I saw a beautiful girl with spectacles with green eyes.
As I was still lost in her gaze
"Ughh…Please forgive me I didn't mean to do that..... I was in a hurry! " The girl said
"........... It's ok , it's fine... Just watch properly when you're running" I said awkwardly
"Okk... Thank youu.... By the way... My name is Heather"
She said And then we shook hands and she left... I couldn't stop thinking about the scene that Happened today.
After the college, I headed to my home in lightning speed even my mom seemed surprised by my action
"Dear, what made you come home this fast!?"
"Ummmm, nothing just homesick" I slammed my door shut
I sat in my bed, I didn't gave any rest, so I took my paintbrush and began to paint her... I finally finished her painting around 12:30 am..
And for the first time I was satisfied with what I have made
"Haa, even Leonardo Da Vinci would get jealous looking at my painting" I muttered quitely
Then I collapsed on the floor and fall asleep
The next day
During the break, I sat under a tree, sketching the landscape in front of me.
The mountains… the trees… everything felt perfect.
“You’re really good at that.”I flinched.
“What the—?!”I turned around.
It was her.
Heather.
She smiled slightly and leaned closer to look at my sketch.
“You draw like you’ve seen this place a thousand times.”I paused.
“Yeah… I guess I have.”But for some reason…it didn’t feel like I was talking about the landscapes but something else
She looked at my sketchbook again… and her expression changed.“Wait…”
“Why… does this girl look like me?”
My face turned red like a ripe tomato
“Ugh, no.... I mean yes.... Ahh I was just thinking to put a person cause it looked to vague”How on earth could I tell her that I painted her like a psycho for 7 straight hours!!
“Oh that's so nice!! “Her eyes and face lit up with genuine interest.
And suddenly my heart started to go on a rollercoaster ride without my permission.
“Dang it” I muttered quietly
“Umm….something happened? "She asked
“Nothing..... “I quickly turned my glace at the mountains Because I could no longer control my breath
To be honest I felt like a fish outside water gasping for air. .... But.... When I looked at her
I froze
Her faceShe look like a fairy tale princess who just came out from a painting.
As the soft breeze softly brushed her hair across her face
(College bell ringing)
“oh it's already time.. See you tomorrow... Atlas” she said
“….Ok... “ I said
She walked away as I was still lost in her gazeI looked down at my sketchbook.My hands started to tremble.This wasn’t the first time I had drawn her…I just… couldn’t remember when.
