Freshmen's week finally came. There was just one last thing I needed to do, bring the invitation to the student council office. That should be easy enough.
I knocked on the student council office and slowly entered the room.
"Hello I'm Gray from College of Architecture. I'm just here to give you the invitation for the freshmen's night event." I handed the lady seated nearest the door the envelope. Her name is Emily, the student council secretary. I've met her a few times. I like her. She was very nice and accommodating. She has a short, brown hair with highlights. Her face is very pretty and always has a smile.
"Thanks Gray! We'll see you on the night" she said and I took that as a sign that I could leave.
Before I could turn around, I felt someone tap my shoulders. It was a guy. We locked eyes for a second and I immediately looked at the floor. He stared at me. It was piercing and I felt like I would melt at any minute. Being the anxious, self conscious person that I am, I found that very uncomfortable. What's wrong? Why is he staring at me? Is something wrong? I attempted to steal a glance at his face, trying to see if he was still staring at me. He was. I noticed that he was smiling. It felt like we were like that forever and I cannot begin to explain how incredibly nerve wrecking it was for me.
"Uy Oz!!" I heard Emily say. He smiled to her.
"I'm Ozi." He said to me.
"Hi. I'm Gray." I said hesitantly. "...Nice meeting you."
He smiled bigger. "We've actually met."
I looked at him straight on the face this time. He did look familiar. Where do I know him from? Was it from my high school? Or art club? Was he from my college too? But he's wearing a commerce uniform. It hit me.
"Oh!" Escaped from my lips. "You're from Commerce?"
"Yes. Yes I am. We actually met in front of our building too. But you probably didn't notice me. You didn't even look at me. Just hit me and ran off" He's teasing me.
"That was you? I'm so sorry. I was in a hurry to..."
"Hurry to go to the meeting, I know. It's okay."
I didn't reply.
We stayed silent. I thought that was it. I thought the conversation was over. I tried walk pass him towards the door but he didn't move or make way.
"Ummm..." I looked to Emily and said to "well thanks Emily." I looked at Oz or Ozi, whatever his name is. "Nice meeting you." I left.
