Mutual Feelings

LITHIUM

I felt uneasy but it feels good when Marcus touched my waist. I just stared at his blank eyes. As usual, he has no reaction to what we're doing. He's just waiting for the teacher's command on when we're going to start dancing.

He laughs at his friend's joke. It's so mesmerizing to watch. I even forgot about the dance; that's why he tapped me when the song started to play.

I felt sorry when I sometimes forgot the steps, but Marcus just shrugged it off and told me that it's okay to make mistakes because he also does that; I just didn't notice it. I felt embarrassed when he said that, if Marcus only knew that I didn't notice when he made mistakes is because I don't see his flaws, he would definitely start making faces at how disgusting it was.

When the dance finally ended, I immediately changed my clothes and ran upstairs to our classroom to rest. Our teacher announced that we got 96 in our grades because of that great performance we did.

I simply sat in my chair and thought about that moment as everyone else talked about how fulfilled they were.

I can't believe I'm so close to him with his hands on my waist, his dark eyes, his disheveled hair, and his sweaty hands. I recall everything that happened while we were dancing despite the hazy memories.

I find it hard to believe what just took place. I feel like it's just the two of us the entire time we're dancing. Even though this isn't the first time we've danced together, I finally have the chance to be his partner. I just think that this is the most memorable one since we had a longer conversation compared before. I'll honestly never forget this moment.
