There was this girl who if you ever paid attention to, she would nearly always be looking out the window. She could spend hours, literally, staring into the sky. Her eyes saw something there that no one else did, and because of this, she was different. It sat her higher and beyond the rest of humanity.
There was no one in her life that she particularly had. She was by herself, and happy. These other people around her, the students in school, the teachers, even her parents, didn't seem to matter. They would all melt away the moment she looked up.
Now, what was in the sky that was so important? Above the hills in the distance, there was a huge streak of white. It stretched across the every hill and kept going into the horizon. Any time of the day, it could be found above those mountains. It didn't move like the sun and the moon. And during the night, it seemed like the stars were being pulled in to this giant streak.
It fascinated her. And because of that, nothing else mattered. Not the school, not the hills, or the rundown town, which she fancied herself by calling "home". None of it.
Now, her age was diffidently that of a teen, but it was blurred between the years of 15 and 18. She walked into her classroom, and it was if that her life had begun. She was just born. Across the room, sat another boy- similar age and school uniform. She looked at him for a moment, and saw he was staring out the window. Wondering what so important, she followed the path of his eyes to see what she always saw- the white streak in the sky.
It took her a while to peel her eyes away from that marvelous decoration of the sky. She returned her eyes to the direction of the boy, who was still staring out the window. In that empty room, the boy, turned his head as if he had just come out a trance, glanced at the ground and quickly realized the girl was in the room. His head moved upward and their eyes met. While tracing her memory, with the setting sun shedding its light everywhere, she could not remember a single time where that had happen. She had met a person.
