This choice: Someone suddenly taps you on the shoulder. • Go Back... author: UnderHerToes
Someone suddenly taps you on the shoulder. "Boo!" a familiar voice shouts, then an unmistakable giggle while you undergo alarmed spasms, losing your grip on the transposer. "Did I spook ya!?" the girl asks, her smile almost audible. She pokes you in the side, trying to wake you up from your blank stare. From the corner of your right eye, you see the transposer in the grass, and in the corner of your left eye you see your friend waving. A difficult decision, but here on the side of the building, no harm should come of leaving it unguarded for a moment.
"Hey, Kourtney," you spin to greet her. She stands proudly at shoulder height with stack of books clutched against breast and fanny pack slouched on broad hip. Her little smile lights the morning more than the sun overhead. "You sure did scare me," you laugh nervously at this long time friend who has admitted to a crush on you more than once. An interesting dilemma developing in your perspiring mind.
Her lips lift in wider glee, eyes flaunting their glowing ambience, "Good!" Heavily, but not obnoxiously, painted eyelids flutter in gentle breeze, flashing signals of rich green to you. "So what are you doing over here, all by yourself? You're just askin' to be sneaked up on!" Her cute laugh a memorable signature.
You smile and sway on your heels. You look over your shoulder quickly, pretending to be looking in the crowds for someone, while the device waits your return. "Oh, I was just," you pause, a fear swelling in your stomach, "oh, nothing. I'm just walking around before class." You nod awkwardly to end your unconvincing words.
Kourtney's lips sink, "Oh, 'cause I thought I saw you with something over here. You were holding something." Her eyes interrogate you silently, almost telling you to show her the mystery item you found. It's a strong urge which you fluctuate between resisting and embracing. "What was it you had?"
