Unexpected Inspirations

Our 1st Meeting

We both knew from the start!

During the first cases of Corona virus, I finished my senior year, and applied for college.

I had my hopes up, my papers done, and an excitement for my brand new life.
.
.
.
Wind going through my hair, warmth touching my skin, walking the streets, I felt freedom. I am finally free to take my decisions, nothing is burdening me, I can make my own choices.
.
.
.
After 30 minutes of walking , I finally reached my destination "my faculity".
No one was in the entrance, I was alone; no security guard, no students, not even someone to ask about the  administration office's location.
.
.
I waited for a little bit, and got fed up :"I will find it myself".
On the right side, there was a strange hallway.
And in the middle, there was an elevator with a "3" on its screen.
I went to the third floor, and entered a weird office. It was disorganized, paper all over the table, a phone ringing, and strangely no one is there.

Who the *Hell* leave a open office door and leave it? How smart!

I started looking around, okayy don't judge me. I was bored to death and no one was there. Is it a hunted university so I can't find anyone? This is ridiculous!

I walked straight to the table and saw many pens laying around, broken pencils, teared papers, and some cracked glass. Suddenly, I hear a door opening!
Which door? I didn't close the entrance door!

I turned fast, surprised by the sudden noise, and it was the closet door! Huh? Am I going insane today?
I can't process what's happening!

A tall, light skin man exited the closet or that what I thought.
It was a well sculptured door that I couldn't even recognize. I put on a huge smile for my stupidity.

I remembered that I shouldn't be here, I looked slowly at him and say: "I-Is this the administration office ?"

While looking at him, mostly contemplating him, I noticed his tired eyes, his eye bags, the wet nose he didn't clean, and his sad mouth. His entire appearance yelled: "I am sad, I am alone, leave me, HELP ME!"
His eyes were amazing, such a sad look! I like them, makes me feel powerful.
Before he get to reply, I said: "Thank you Sir, so this isn't the administration office".

* I knew it wasn't, I don't wanna get involved in some drama*

He stopped me and say:" Hey kiddo, what's your name? Why are you in my office? A place you shouldn't be at."

*I got myself in trouble"
I said:" I apologize Sir, I didn't mean to invade your privacy. I didn't see anything. C-can I- I go n-now?"
I literally stuttered, I really want to start my new life peacefully. Why did it happen to me?

His tired eyes opened up, as if he was surprised of how scared I am.
He went:" Okay, you can go now. But don't you ever enter an empty office again. I will go easy on you now, others won't, neither I am in the future.
The administration office is in the ground floor, the hallway on your right"

Acting tough, I thanked him not like my tears are about to run to my feet.
Walking toward the door, he asked me clearly: "Just tell me your name now".

- My name is Jena, Jena Clawd.

And ran through the door.

This was out first encounter, an encounter that I would regret? Or one that I would be grateful for it for the rest of my life?

I run the strairs, hoping he won't go after me, went to the hallway and handed my papers
