I See the Light
It hit him like a soccer ball to the face. Specifically, she was the one who kicked it in the first place. It was a strong too, he lost his balance and fell on his back. He could hear everyone's stunned silence, but a few seconds after that, someone snorted and everybody else just started laughing. But out of everyone's laughter, he could always find hers.
For some reason, he didn't move at all. He was just lying there, staring up at the clear blue sky, only focusing on the sound of her voice amongst everyone.
He could hear the sound of running feet towards him, and everyone arrived beside him, still chortling, but asking him if he was alright. He still wasn't answering, and was still looking up the sky.
Then, she came. He could hear her light chuckles, still in euphoria from his injury that she caused. But he found himself not caring. He just wanted to hear her laugh a little longer.
"Are you okay?" she leaned down on him, sounding sincere and genuine for his wellbeing, but she was still smiling. The sun on her back was casting a small glow around her, almost like a halo. Her hair was in a disarray from their practice and her chest rose up and down, probably from all her running and laughing.
She looked beautiful, and suddenly he realized something that took his breath away.
He couldn't explain it, but it's almost like everything changed. The world seemed more colorful, brighter, happier. He was suddenly aware of her hand that was resting on his arm in the gentlest way possible. He could feel the heat she was emanating and he just wanted to stay close to her as much as possible. He felt like that if she spoke again, he could hear all the nuances and shifts of her voice. His world around her changed, and it was amazing.
He was in love with her, he realized as he watched her knit her eyebrows in confusion, still asking him if he was okay.
"I-I'm fine," he answered breathlessly. She still didn't look convinced, but she shrugged it off and smiled.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Well, why didn't you just say so," she giggled, bopping his nose with her finger. "Come on. Everyone's waiting."
She stood up and offered her hand, which he took and hoisted himself up. He didn't want to let go, liking the way their hand fit perfectly. But unfortunately they had to separate.
She patted his shoulder, telling him that she'll meet him on the field.
He could only watch as she jogged back, his breath hitching and his heart beating steadily.
Everything looked different, now that he sees her.
