'There's the life you live and the life you leave behind. But, what you share with someone else, especially someone you love, that's not just how you bury your past, it's how you write your future. Tell your story. That's the secret of immortality, the one true way to live forever.'

You are the wind's interpretor. What does it say?
"Go that way. No that way." Whew...finally got it right.
"Wait, what are you doing? Your classroom isn't in this building." Is that? Oh no.
"Turn around you idiot. Stop staring." She's staring! Why won't she listen to me?
"Stop. Just stop." He's coming this way...why do we have to be inside the school? I need a strong gust of outside air, not the measly heater vent twenty paces away.
"Wait, what did he just say?" I should be listening.
"What is going on here? He is not the one for you. Look at him, he's all wrong. He's bad boy personified. You'll only get into trouble. Big trouble. This isn't the guy you want to write hearts around in your notebook. Or add his last name behind yours. He isn't forever. Why can't you see that?"
Roar..."If I had a foot, I would be stomping it right now, on your left foot. Maybe then I could get your attention."
"Remember when you crushed on Mr. Right in high school? He was good for you. This guy, not so much. Sure, he's cute. Popular. Has big muscles. But that's the end of his good trait list. And all of those things go away with time. Trust me, as your eternal advisor, I've seen the winds of change, and change on this guy isn't going to be good. Find someone else." Sigh.
"Did you just give him your phone number? Oh, you're in for it now. A big heart break, sister. One that will take months to recover from..."
"Oh...Why do the good girls fall for the bad guys. It's not like the movies. You girls can't and shouldn't try to change them. In fact, even if they do make a few good changes for a while, it's temporary. They go back to who they truly are, sooner or later."
What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Come on...think.
Oh, she's going outside. Let's follow her.
Hey, did she see that? That guy just smiled at her. He's kinda cute.
There's another one.
Why can't she see these other options?
Oh, that's right, she's too distracted by Mr. Muscles. I get it...well, I don't, but...
Did someone just brush up against me? "Hey, I'm the one who does the brushing around here. You're going to get a puff of wind up your nose for that one."
Oh my! "Look, it's him! Mr. Right!"
I didn't know you both decided to go to the same college. But, look...there he is.
"Look up! Turn your head! This way! This way!" Fine, I'm sending her a gust. Maybe if she smells him...
He even smells good. Like sweet honey bee nectar. If he isn't heaven sent, I don't know who is.
This is a rare moment. The one time in my life I've wished to be something else. If only she knew how lucky she was.
"He sees you!" She sees him!
"Let me give you a push. There, now go talk to him. No, don't look at your phone to check the time. You have time."
Yes, yes, steady. Keep going.
"There's that winning smile I've been waiting for. Look how he lights up the day. It's like magic, and sunshine, and pink and yellow flowers, and happiness and joy, all wrapped up into a very genuine package. Much better than darkness back there."
He's flirting. She's flirting.
"He just asked you out!"
"Say yes, say yes."
She said yes! High five, wind.
Wow...my work here is done.
Well, for now.
