What was she doing?
She couldn't do this, she wanted to go back and hide behind the curtain, she wanted to be stood on the sidelines taking money in exchange for tickets and a mint from the complimentary bowl on the side. (Y/n) wanted to be anywhere but stood here where even with the blindfold she could still see and imagine all the eyes that were watching her with intense curiosity. She could feel their burning gazes making blisters form on her skin and she could sense someone close by who was waiting to take her first kiss away from her and keep it like a reward.
(Y/n) never liked anyone watching her or looking at her when she was doing anything. When her father glanced over her shoulder when she was cooking she froze up and waited for him to smile and disappear. When a teacher looked over her shoulder when she was working out a problem or starting her essay she leaned over to block her work and felt like crying until they relented and moved on to watch another student instead.
Sometimes she wanted to be invisible, she wanted to be a ghost who could glide through the world unnoticed and only have a select few people notice her who she wanted to be seen by.
But now the whole school was gathered round the booth she and Lee had come up with, watching in amazement and anticipation as she was about to have her first kiss with a total stranger- not that anyone at school knew this was to be her first kiss.
(Y/n) could feel her heart pounding in her chest like it was going to break free from her ribs and she could feel her lungs shrivelling up like balloons which had been popped and were now sagging and becoming useless in her chest cavity. She wanted to go home, she wanted to go to the arcades with Lee, she wanted to be at her mum's grave, just anywhere else but here so exposed and in the open like this.
Then she felt a pair of hands.
The moment she stumbled out of the curtains and froze up like she had turned to stone, (Y/n) felt a large calloused pair of hands taking her own like a guiding light or a star for the shepherds to follow in the dead of night.
