She watched out of the corner of her eye as he walked past, holding her breath as his shoulder gently grazed hers. She flinched at the slight touch turning and watching him go; narrowing her eyes at the pang of envy that stabbed her heart at seeing the small pink haired girl whose hand he held securely
