Moment

I found myself stuck inside the clinic with Natsuki. I don't know how to feel. I looked at her, she doesn't look angry nor annoyed, but she doesn't look so happy either.

"You're okay..." the nurse said.

"Just be careful next time okay?"

"Yes... Thank you..."

The nurse smiled at me. I stood up and looked at Natsuki again. She was still staring at me. I suddenly felt uneasy.

"Sorry again..." she said.

I just nodded. I couldn't find any words to say, but I really wanted to say something. I guess words are messed up that time. I moved through the door, she opened it for me. We headed out of the school clinic. I noticed, as we walk on the cold pavements of the school corridor, a group of freshmen are looking at us, especially on Natsuki.

As we walked. No one dared to talk. I found it okay, though I would really appreciate if she starts a conversation or whatever. We walked till we reached the library. I was thinking of saying goodbye to her but the small voice in my head was saying: "What's the use?" so I decided to just turn my back on her. But before I could do that, she said something.

"What's that?" I asked. A smile formed on Natsuki's face.

"I'm Natsuki. I'm a really good basketball player. But what happen today was an exception." she extended her hand.

"I'm Shizuru. Nice to meet you."

"Ok...i'll see you around?" Natsuki said.

I shrugged. "I guess..."


Contrary to what Natsuki said. We didn't see each other around. I guess the reason why she said, "See you around" was because she didn't want to ruin our moment. Oh yes, we had a moment. The moment when she held my hand and when our eyes met. I wondered if she felt something for me.
