The rough ball was just centimetres away I sacrificed my body and launched toward, stretching my arms to their longest, yet disappointed to feel the motion of the energetic ball slip straight through my desperate hands.
Thud!
Reality came crashing down at my reckless body and granted me a straight face-plant introduction to my old friend, cold rough surfaced asphalt. For a tick of the clock, I lay still and lifeless, blocking out all the casual calls in a neck game and silencing it to the point where only my own husky breath faintly remained. For a moment it was as if I was lost in my own mind. Sure it was an over dramatic expression, I only missed the the ball ,but we were versing the mixed netball team , so we all wanted to beat them . I heard the empire's call game over. My never ending thoughts were sliced by a excruciating pain in my left knee. I pulled it up awake to reality, yet still on the floor. As I peered down to my stinging knee, I was staring at a river of pure red blood slowly flowing on my effected knee.
" Ow! "
I cried desperate for medical service. Then a friendly hand came to my aid, waiting for me to accept it. As I barely touched the hand, I let my wary eyes trail away to the generous owner of it, expectedly a nurse. But it wasn't a nurse. Not even a medical student. Not even a teacher. Not even someone I knew!
Well I did know him....
It was the new kid.
I unconsciously let my hands drift into his soft patterned palms. He smiles as he flicked the crisps of his brown hair and revealed his small dimples.
"You alright? ", he smiled, slightly winking.
" Umm...yeah I'm fine...ah..thanks", I stutter back.
"Have we met? ", he asked spreading his coolness.
" Umm... I believe not", I said trying to relax and act casual, admittedly I felt cool.
"Let me introduce myself ", he said positioning himself in a bow.
" I am Zaden , Zaden Rimmer at your service", he said still grinning.
" Nice to meet you Zaden, umm.. I'm Madeline ", I said with a surprise smile, reluctant to mention my last name.
Suddenly I heard a faint call of my name in the distance.
" Well it was nice to meet you Zaden", I said hurriedly.
" Pleasure was mine", he said faintly grabbing my hand and bowing his head down to it.
Such a gentleman !
I smile and turn around leaving him, thankful for my fall that lead to a friendly encounter.
"We shall meet again, Madeline !" , he called behind.
I smiled and looked back.
