Sunlight spilled from the window, flooding his notebook with the untainted light of life. Shadows cast from the dreamcatcher that hung protectively from the top of the sill played with his imagination. It spun lazily in circles, widning up the string that held it, then rotated calmly in the opposite direction. Guided by wind and nothing else, he often wondered if the dreamcatcher was either free, or a captive, held in place by a single string that it could not oppose.
And yet, through all of his meager thoughts, the young man could not help but let his gaze pan out over the yard outside the window. His room was in the basement, and his window was level with the grass on the lawn to the side of his house. From here there wasn't much to see, save for the window of the girl next door.
He had looked upon it often, and more than once he had forced himself to look away. It wasn't right, he knew, to look into someone's window. Especially if you didn't know the person who was on the other side. He had seen her so many times over the past few months, but it seemed she had never seen him. He didn't know much of her at all, only that she was possibley the most beautiful creature he had ever looked upon. She didn't seem to be very secretive, as her blinds were rarely drawn, and she didn't seem to be home very often. He didn't know much more than that. He had decided long ago that it was probably for the best. What could a girl like that see in a guy like him?
He looked to the bedside table and observed the time on his digital clock. 2:03pm. She probably wouldn't be home until the early morning. That's what he had guessed, anyway. He was usually fast asleep by then on a Saturday night. He turned his head back to regard her window once more, adjusting the brim of his black baseball cap, turning it backwards, and set his notepad down. Perhaps he should go out today? he thought, though he didn't see the point. He still had no real friends in this small city yet, and didn't feel like trying to make any today. Maybe he should just hop on his computer for a few hours? Yes, he decide, that didn't sound like a bad idea.
Just as he set his notepad down and began dusting off his red t-shirt, a flash of movement caught his eye in her window. She was home afterall, it seemed, and he found himself wondering why. He paused a moment, looked about nervously, as if someone were watching him, then gazed back out to her window.
She was so beautiful, he thought, but he shouldn't be doing this. He nodded to himself determidly, and began to turn away...
