Fixed.

As she walked slowly back to her hostel, the corner of her eyes caught glimpse of a familiar figure. Tall, stout, newly introduced to the obese group.. was her friend D playing basketball with faces who were unfamiliar to her eyes. She focused into the group of boys playing basketball, unwilling to believe that D was playing alone with strangers.

As though attracted by a magnetic wave, her eyes fell upon another familiar figure, her friend, J. J was mind-calculating what it's gonna take to net the ball, his posture and stance all set. Yet, he remained motionless for quite a long time. As she started to wonder why, she noticed that while J's body and limbs were all prepared to shoot the ball, his eyes were elsewhere... fixed unto hers. Hard. Charming. Insistent.

A wave of cool breeze suddenly swept upon her. She shuddered and her heart began thumping wild. Her eyes fixed unto J's.

"What do you think you are doing? Lost your senses? Will a pace-maker help?!" She sardonically inquired her heart. "Or better still, defibrillator?! !"

Infatuation, was the silent reply.
She smiled. Well... maybe.
