First love (55-er)

2009 March 7

They gathered around, roaring with laughter. She flushed, as the tyre went flat when she mounted the bike. ”Not my fault!!” They guffawed louder. As they wiped their tears, she spotted him. Watching disapprovingly. His thick crop of hair waved above the deepening furrows on his forehead.

She would be in love with him, forever.
