"Sometimes,
a feeling is so conflicted that it can’t be described with words. It’s the
feeling you get when you’re standing on the 3 meter high jumping board, staring
into the chilly pool water, knowing that everyone else has already jumped one,
two, three times and not understanding why you’re too terrified to take a leap,
even though you’re sure you’d enjoy it if you did. That’s the feeling she got
when he nonchalantly put his hand on her knee during the Thursday history lesson.
She had moved in close to him so that he could share her book, since he had
forgotten his, and his hand placement had left him seemingly so unaffected that
she had wondered if he had just put it there without thinking, because it came
naturally to him. It didn’t seem natural to her, in fact, it seemed so
unnatural that her cheeks turned bright pink, something she tried to hide as he
glanced over to her to watch her reaction – it appeared that he had placed his
hand there on purpose. He smiled confidently and took his hand away and she bit
her tongue as to not accidentally whisper to him to leave it there."
Oh and this isn't about me. If anyone put their hand on my knee in public, you'd know because they'd be missing a hand.
