Tough Love~ Comparisons

I looked at my real girlfriend, Sarah, in her group. She was tall, like me, with her now short brown hair and her secretive grey eyes. She smiled and gave me a slight wave. She was so…so unconfident with herself all the time. And that sometimes got on my nerves.

I then shift my gaze to Riley, silent for once, as she was taking notes. Her golden blonde hair stood out among the rest of the class, heck perhaps even the school. And her eyes…whenever I look at them I get that one Beatles song in my head…A girl with kaleidescope eyes...They always seemed to have some sort of cheerful gleen in them as they switched between green and blue on a daily basis.

Then, myself. Tall, slightly taller than Sarah, with my curly brown hair. And my eyes? They’re an unusual dark electric blue with the help of my colored contacts. I found myself quite plain now that I thought long and hard about it.

Riley wasn’t plain though. She was…was…indescribable? Is that the right word? I think so.
