We walked together to my dorm . Marlee came  outside the room . " August, why are you so late? The class was over an hour ago ? '' '' I'm so sorry, Marlee . I won't repeat it again, " I said . " I  will take her from here,  " said Marlee with an uncomfortable smile . 
 " Sure, " said let.  I went over to the room and jumped over to the bed . " Why are you hanging out with him ? '''' who?" "Alex"  " is there something wrong with him?"  " yeah.  You see Talin and Alex were best friends but one day they just fought . Was Alex a bad guy ?  No he can't be . The next day Alex was not in class . Talin tried to talk to me but I tried to avoid him . At lunch break I searched the entire school .  He was not there . Then I searched the garden . There he was drawing something in his sketchbook . " hi " I said , trying to be friendly.
  " hi" he said . He was so focused on his sketch . He actually looked handsome .  
Seeing him made all my doubts wash away .  " What are you drawing? " I asked , leaning down . I was so close to his face .  " Wow, it's so pretty, " I said , looking over at him . Our eyes met . We stayed like that for 10 seconds .Then he coughed and turned away . I blushed with embarrassment and got  up . " I should get going, " I said . I walked away and touched my chest.  Why is my heart beating so furiously? . Then the thought of us together came into my head  . I smiled . I looked up to the sky . Something blocked my view . It was Talin .
