The First Glance

It was evening and I had come to meet him. It wasn't easy as I was just 17 and parents wouldn't allow for a single girl to move as she please, so I had to give an excuse that I was going to my friend's home to watch anime with her. Although I had a hard time convincing them, I finally managed to get their consent.

I had a crazy adrenaline rush in my body even before I left home. I was wondering if he felt the same as me or maybe more desperate. I was wondering how he would react when he would first look at me. I was wondering how time would feel like, slipping away like sand in my hand or frozen in front of my eyes? I was so indulged in daydreaming that I couldn't pay any attention to my surroundings- due to which I gave my ankle a good twist that I could barely stand still.

It was about time to leave for my friend's home. She lived at just the next colony so it was easier for me as I could just walk there in no time. She was my weeb girl who would never back off whenever I needed her by my side. She was my potion. She was my only true friend that I made in this life. I'll never forget her.

As I was walking along the footpath, my heart was racing like a horse in racecourse. Every single thought fueled my heart to beat faster and faster than ever. I was conscious of where I was going but I wasn't really paying attention to anything happening or passing by me. I finally managed to reach her house with my twisted ankle.

I called him. He was almost here. I just had to distract myself for a few more minutes. I had to keep myself together. Every second, this time around, felt like slipping sand in my hand; I didn't knew how quickly it passed, it was already half hour at her home now. He finally called. I skipped a beat. And another. She brought me back to reality by shaking me off the chair, yeah. I picked up his call. He told me to start walking straight out of her house and that I'd find him sitting in a white car, waiting for me. And toot. Call ended. My heart skipped another beat.

I brought myself together and took my leave. I started walking as he instructed. I saw not one, not two but three white cars parked side by side. Now I didn't have clairvoyance sight to know in which car he was in. I had to call. I finally called. He picked and blew air into the microphone. Okay. What's next? My reaction? Yeah. He wanted me to have my heart beating up in my throat so that he can have a taste of it. Yeah. Stop. I wanted to squat down and make myself invisible somehow. Although nothing from my wishful thoughts happened.

He continued after a pause. He said he'd bring the car right in front of me and I will have to hop on so that we could go somewhere else. Obviously, I didn't wanted to get caught by my parents at the first meeting with my love.

He came. He did.

I just stopped breathing. I really did. I just hopped in his car. He wasn't the one driving. Now, the first thought was that did he just saw every single reaction of mine while on call with him rather than taking a good look at him.
