My first short story!
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.
The most foolish man in the world was happy. He was young, free, and he’d just met the most beautiful girl in the world, or so he thought. Supermodels were thought highly of, but not by the most foolish man in the world, he thought they were all too plasticky, snooty, and generally full of themselves. What good does looking pretty do if theres no depth to a character? Noo, the most foolish man in the world liked real people, with real beauty, easily visible inside as well as out.
They had sat next to one another on a bus, randomly struck up a conversation, he had made her laugh, and with that slightest of smiles he’d caused, he was lost. All he could think about was her, how wonderful she looked, how amazing the sound of her laughter was, and how lucky he would be to have her.
A happy co-incidence, the most foolish man in the world also happened to be the luckiest man in the world, according to himself, as no matter how foolishly he behaved, everything still seemed to work itself out. So, after much suffering in silence, the foolish man tried his luck, and asked the most beautiful girl in the world if she wouldn’t date him.
Praise be! To his surprise and joy, she agreed, and pretty soon after, they were inseperable.
Could it last? The most foolish man in the world believed it would, so imagine his dismay when the most beautiful girl in the world moved many miles away, to a town far from anywhere the foolish man could reach. The fool was devastated, but they stayed together, or tried to anyways, but it is hard when you can only see each other one week in ten. Even so, the foolish man was happy, as nothing could shake his faith in his love.
One day, the most beautiful girl in the world was out walking, when she stumbled and fell. She was helped up by a man of about her age, who invited her to join him for a drink. She agreed, flattered by the attention, and went along. While they drank, he paid her compliments, and made her laugh, and pretty soon she’d forgotten all about the foolish foolish man who loved her, many miles away.
The most foolish man in the world was devastated, even more devastated than he’d been when she moved away, but he was determined that he wouldn’t lose her forever. He tried to stay friends with her, and it worked for a long time that way, only seeing each other once or twice in a year, but he was always wishing that she would realise her mistake, and come back to the man who loved her most.
Out of lonliness, the foolish man agreed to date another pretty girl, she asked him out, and he was so amazed that he agreed on the spot. He could make her laugh and smile, and she could make him laugh and smile too, and they imagined that together they could be happy. It worked for a while, until the fool realised that the most beautiful girl in the world lived close by again, and he could see her more often. He kept trying to be friends with the most beautiful girl in the world, but anytime he saw her he was plunged into a dark part of his mind where nothing could ever be reconciled.
He realised that compared to her, noone in the world was worth being around, even though she’d broken his heart when she left him years before. He split up with his girlfriend, and told the most beautiful girl in the world how he felt.
What a fool he was!
He left a loving relationship, so that he could pursue someone he’d loved a decade before, and of course, he was turned down, for the most beautiful girl in the world was disinterested. “Stop living in the past” she told him.
For the next several years, the most foolish man in the world was confused. He’d followed his heart, bared his soul, opened himself up to being hurt, and that’s just what had happened. He started to resent the fact that the most beautiful girl in the world wouldn’t give him a chance, as she thought she knew him, for he had changed a lot since the days of his youthful innocence, when they had been so happy before. She didn’t know him, how could she know she wasn’t interested in him? It had been a decade, more, and they’d both changed. All he wanted was the chance to get to know her again, but it was not to be.
The most foolish man in the world stewed for days, weeks, months, eventually years had passed, and the foolish man hated how lonely he had become. He blocked the most beautiful girl from his thoughts, pretended that he’d never met her, told himself that she wasn’t real, and that the time he’d spent with her in his youth had been nothing but a wonderful dream.
It was only once he had managed to do this that he found some semblance of happiness, though he’d been so hurt that he couldn’t bear to allow anyone close to him, for fear the same would happen to him again.
One day, whilst wandering in the park, late at night, looking at the stars, he accidentally stepped onto someones leg, causing them to cry out in pain. He looked down, apologizing profusely, and sat down to make sure she was alright. Soon they were chatting like old friends, she was smiling and laughing, and all thoughts of the foolish man’s clumsiness were forgotten.
Within a few moments, she was the most beautiful girl in the world……
