The Moment 17Dec2011

Dan sat in the room for the school newspaper, the only light came in through a nearby window. It was around 4:30 in the afternoon, not too late but late enough that the rest of newspaper staff had left. He and Sophia were the only two left. Sophia was working on a project, as she had been for over an hour now. Dan sat next to her, pretending he had nothing better to do but help her. In actuality he had so much to do, but nothing was more important to him than to simply be in here with her, help her, and wish things were different. His phone chirped, letting him know it was time to go. Dan rose and turned towards the door, he lay a hand on Sophia's shoulder and said "It's been nice but I have to go, let me know how the project goes." He took his hand off, and had only opened the door a few inches before he heard her voice. "Wait..." she said. He turned towards her after closing the door and said nothing, neither did Sophia. They locked eyes for a moment that seemed much longer than it was, and Sophia leaned towards him with her head slightly tilted. Dan held her, and met her in the middle. They kissed, they kissed until Dan's phone chirped a second time. Then Dan said I have to go, opened the door, and proceeded to walk down the hallway. The world and time becoming nothing but a blur.
