Cowardice
“Hey Wonton! What’s with the long face huh?” mushroom she is, popping out from nowhere.
She nudged him on his sides not hearing a word.
“yeah? So I’m invisible now.. great. I’ve always wanted a super power.” She said with sarcasm. She’s about to walk out from him when suddenly he grabbed her by her hand. Maybe he pulled her too strong that her chest is touching his and faces centimetres apart.
She couldn’t utter a word. She’s dumbstruck.
He couldn’t move a muscle. He froze.
“This is awkward.” they chorused. She shook her senses and went back to reality.
”Well yeah.”. Immediately both awkwardly took a step backwards.
*insert crickets here ;)*
“we’re running late for class.” Dead air is slowly eating them when he spoke. She didn’t flinch still dumbfounded. Earth to Tiffany. No choice, he is dragging her heading to their room.
Both chasing their breaths when they reached the place. All eyes on them. They don’t know why.
Take two…..
Both chasing their breaths, hands locked to each other when they reached the place. All eyes on them. Now they know why.
They pulled out simultaneously from each other's hold.
“That’s not what you think.” They both defended.
Again.
Awkward.
