She was standing, silently and with an amused smile on her face, among her friends and a million other people.
Usagi and Rei had wheedled their way to the front of the crowd, fingers tight around the yellow nylon rope as they watched the floats and performers dance by.
Makoto was saying something to her, but she wasn't listening, because she was overcome with an awkward feeling. A sensation, really, like somebody was watching her.
She looked around, casually and hidden beneath the shades of her sunglasses.
And then she caught his eye.
His cheeks reddened, and she smirked, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
He was quite tall, a good head or two above a majority of the people gathered around, and very handsome. She squinted, and her heart skipped a beat as she watched him move through the crowd, bent over to murmur an 'excuse me' to people in the way.
Makoto grabbed her arm and arched an eyebrow.
Minako blushed furiously.
He stopped when he was a meter away, hands deep in the pocket of his jeans and eyes shining a dazzling shade of gray.
She looked over her shoulder for a bit of help, but Makoto and Ami were gone, standing beside Rei and Usagi.
He was closer now, a respectable two feet. "Hi."
Minako blinked and stared at him. He was ruggedly handsome, and she suddenly felt pointedly self-conscious.
Why would he want to talk to her?
"Hi."
She smiled then, and it only grew as he flashed his own dimpled grin back.
She was guessing that she would find out soon.
