Where Was I?
☆☆☆
I wasn't paying attention really. I got so caught up with the game when it happened.
I joined some of the boys playing basketball. Despite being the only girl there, I didn't mind. I had always been known as friendly with everyone especially the boys.
He was there too. He played with us.
It was when I was trying to steal the ball from someone that it happened. I moved forward fast, trying to steal the ball from the one that was currentlyㅡand skillfullyㅡdribbling it. Before I could reach the guy, he came out of nowhere.
And suddenly time stopped ticking. The world stopped moving. I was lost in a moment that felt so long. I didn't realize what was happening around me. I was literally lost at the moment.
The only thing that snapped me out of it was a 'sorry'. When I looked up, he was just looking away from me while his pinky finger untangled itself from mine.
Did we just get our fingers tangled?
Did time literally stop when he touched me?
I couldn't even remember what was happening. One second he was there. And the next he was saying sorry while untangling his finger from mine.
The question is: where was I between those two seconds?
