A moment in slow motion

Summer break,
That day, she had club activities in the morning, the second year
high school girl was waking up in the hot summer weather with sweat
sticked pajamas, and screamed
「I’M LATE!!!!!!!!」
She quickly ran down the stairs and grumbled to her mother
「Why didn’t you wake me up?!」
「it’s still summer break, right?」
「I told you I’ve still got club activities!」
After grumbling to her unaffected mother, she hurriedly got ready and
ran towards the bus stop
Today is a clear day with cicada’s noises echoing, with puddles of water
here and there left by yesterday’s rain,
Distracted by the puddles skipping up and down, going down the short
hill to the bus stop, having her attention on her steps there was
something else she didn’t notice, that standing in front of her was a
young boy with a uniform different from her own
BANG
She crashed with her momentum down the slope into the young boy’s
back, The boy was taken aback by the hit but soonly after he turned
around to the her
「Pay attention where you’re going」
Said the boy in a low and clear voice,
Taken aback she began raising her head,
The moment the she raised her head her eyes met his
(Beautiful eyes…….)
That moment in time felt like an eternity, moving slowly and was
disturbed only by the boy himself
「hold it properly」
Said the boy while lifting the her bag that was dropped in the encounter,
and held it out to her
「Thank you very much…」
She said while receiving her bag, the boy pats her a pat on the head and
turns to leave.
(…….!)
At that moment her’s heart throbbed,
her heart felt as if it has been hit,
Without thinking she pulls the back on the boy’s shirt
「What?」
Asked the boy, but she didn’t find the words to say, as a breeze blows
through her hair.
「if there is no problem then I’m going to go, okay?」
(ah...)
She thought as the boy was leaving, all she could do was watch over in
silence as the boy was walking away
After she got on the bus, she layed her hand on her head pondering on
the boy’s hand that patted her head and thought the summer heat
couldn’t reach that place
Sitting in the cool interior of the bus blankly starring through the
window she thought to her herself
(Is this love…..?)
Name unknown, a boy that was only met once with her heart only
growing fonder, the bus continues on forward
