I was walking around the campus of my college. My shoes were tapping on the blocks of stone that the street was made from.

I was watching the trees, skies, birds chirping and clouds flying around. I was feeling pretty nice, drowning in the music blasting into my ears further and further.
I was maybe too focused onto the music. So focused that I wasn't paying attention to the real world.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" I quickly said and tried to find the second earbud that fell from my ear. Even after I found it I kept my head down, until- "Hey, hey it's aright." The person said worriedly. "Are you.. okay?" He said softly.
I'm not gonna lie I was sort of confused about that question so I finally lifted up my head.
"Y-yeah, I'm pretty sure I am." I said simply and didn't really know what to do. It was an awkward moment, just two strangers staring in each other's eyes.
After a minute of awkwardness the boy decided to talk; "So you're attending this school, right?" he rubbed his neck and pointed on a building near by.
"Yes, I'm just coming to a class now. You too?" I said and surprisingly pretty calmly.
"Oh yeah, I never saw you around here, even though this college is so small. Shall we walk there together? I have class soon too and I wouldn't mind company" he said while looking at me with soft smile forming on his lips.

I nodded, without saying any other word. Maybe because the situation was too strange or because I really wasn't good at talking too much and was quiet in general.

Maybe actually too quiet. Some people even thought that I might be mute, I can't blame them even when I'm with my friends I hardly talk and avoid any social touch whatsoever. The reason might me that when I tried to be cool and super 'extroverted' someone always thought it was weird or no one noticed or laughed at my stupid jokes. These situations doesn't make you feel too good, trust me on that.

Especially opposite gender. Whenever I'm supposed to talk or interact with boys I'm nervous. Don't get me wrong It's normal being nervous around opposite gender but trust me, I am not normally nervous. I'm sweating, stuttering and nearly forgetting how to walk while being around guys my age.
Although this guy seemed a bit different and I felt much calmer and more comfortable around him, how strange..

I woke up from this little thought after a solid minute when hearing his voice again. "I see, you aren't much talkative, are you?" He said with a smirk on his face and looked down at me - quite literally actually, the height difference was probably funny, since I am really short and well.. he's like an Eiffel tower.

I shook my head and he laughed - not too unexpectedly, I felt bad so I added: "I'm sorry, I don't really talk much but uhm what's your name? I forgot to ask and I guess it'd be pretty useful to know." I said really fast, awkwardly laughing through it and still looking down, "Yeah, I'm Light, Light Yagami. What about you?" "F/n l/n, I guess my parents probably hated me to give me this name" I said jokingly and looked up in the sky. "No, I don't think it's a bad na-" he said but some guy, who I assume was his friend, interrupted him. I got away in a crowd of people that was forming before the entrance if the college because I really didn't need another social interaction and my class is starting anyways.
He then again yelled something at me but I didn't understand what it was so I just kept going further and further trough the long hall leading to lectures.
I sat down on a empty seat in the back and put my bag next to me. Afterwards I just tried to pay attention to the lecture but I didn't get much sleep last night so it didn't quite work out.

~After class~
The noise - people chatting and leaving the room woke me up from a little nap that I didn't know I took.
I rubbed my eyes, quickly got my bag on my shoulder and with a small yawn left the room. I took my coat from my locker and while putting it on someone tapped on my shoulder.

I usually don't talk to anyone in here and I don't have any friends in here so it unsurprisingly scared me a bit.
"Hello y/n, what a coincidence seeing you here" he said again with the smirk of his. I swear to god that's his recognization-thing.
"Oh yeah, you surely came all the way here just to say it's a coincidence, how foolish" I said while dramatically putting hand to my forehead.
He laughed and added: "of course because I'm such a gentleman~" We laughed a bit again and then decided to eat something because I haven't eaten since the morning.

We exited the building and started walking towards the city center.

"So, y/n, tell me something about yourself I feel like I know nothing about you." He said out of nowhere and patiently waited for my reply.
"Well, I'm not sure what do you want to hear. My major is m/n, it's alright but I like art a lot more. It always comforts me when I feel like shit and when I'm bored. Also I'm actually not from here but I really wanted to go to Japan so when my school offered me this trip I of course couldn't say no." I stopped for a second and then said: "God, I just blabbered about useless stuff for that long, sorry." I looked down but lifted my head real fast afterwards. "Oh, I thought we don't know each other and you already call me 'god'? Quite impressive."

"Wha-" I couldn't continue because he interrupted my confusion.
"But jokes aside, I'm glad you said more than one word this time" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes as we stepped to the sandwich shop.

After we ate and chatted for a while I had to go so we split our ways. I waved at him from a far. I was thinking about the whole day on the way home.
He is strange, at least a bit and although I thought he is just a too smart and 'handsome' jerk, he's actually nice and I must admit that I like him as a person - you know what, the feeling when you know that you're gonna be good friends with someone from the first meet?

This is that feeling.
