@lateblccmer liked for a starter.
Lungs burned from the harsh, chilly winter air, and legs screamed for a break. How many times had she ran down this street by now? She couldn’t remember; lost track. However many times it was by now, she needed to take a breather. Finally, she starts to slow down into a walk before finally coming to a stop and leaning against the nearest flat surface she could find. She wiped at her brow as she worked to catch her breath. Maybe she shouldn’t have pushed herself so hard-- it’s what she tells herself each time, but she never stops pushing as far as she can go. Tucking a few stray strands of hair out of her face that had fallen out of her ponytail, she clears her throat, lightly panting as she takes in her surroundings. That’s when she sees her, eyes locking onto the target. Mel couldn’t remember if she’d seen her before or not, though something about her seemed familiar.
Her fingers suddenly itched for her camera, but she fought the urge and finally tore her gaze away from the girl far too late. Maybe if she was lucky the other hadn’t noticed, but per usual, Melanie was willing to bet against that.
