"Kiva, wait. We—"
"Really, what was I thinking! It's so late." I force a laugh as I hurriedly walk out of the library. "I really should be asleep by now. You know, I have to wake up early tomorrow morning. Because you know, uhm," I force down an amount of nonexistent saliva trying to find the right words to say.
"I uh, I have this uh, this thing tomorrow. Yes. And I have to get up early. I'll see you later." I mumble some words out loud. I don't even know what I'm saying but thank goodness I've reached the door and I can see my room right on the other side.
I can feel him behind me. But I don't want to turn and face him again! Oh, this is so hard.
"Well uhm, I guess this is goodnight then." I say, still facing my room. I close my eyes tight, take a deep breath and as I flip my lashes open again, I turn around to face him one last time tonight.
