I watch him as he taps at his fancy laptop. How much would something like that cost? He must be rich. A millionaire. Does he live in a mansion?
I chew on my lip as I ponder about the mystery guys' life, before he tuts silently, and I look up, startled.
"You know, for a doctor, you're pretty self destructive. Don't you know not to bite your lip?"
I feel my cheeks heat up, and I'm pretty sure I've burst into flame at this point. I swallow, my eyes darting from his green eyes to his blondish hair, desperately trying to avoid his gaze.
Hm. Doesn't he kind of look like Layla?
"Earth to Koyar.."
He chuckles, and I think at this point I've melted into the ground, pure molten lava.
"Sorry!", I squeak out, waving my hands defensively, "I was just zoned out. It's a habit, I mean. Biting my lip. I do it when I'm nervous, I guess."
"Nervous?" He mumbles, a cheeky grin spreading across his handsome face. "Do I make you nervous, Koyar?"
I think I'm dead by now.
I change topics swiftly, I'm not exactly comfortable with passing away today. I'm much too young. Is 21 young? I'm zoning out again.
"What year are you?- In med school?", I burst out, resting my chin on my palm awkwardly.
"You know, you haven't asked my name." He interrupts, copying the terrible position I've posed myself in. I cringe at myself internally.
He's right. I haven't asked his name. But neither had he asked mine! How did he know my name?
I mentally face palm as I remember to look at my nametag: "Koyar Zoona, college of medicine".
Now I kind of wish I'd paid more attention. I can just barely see the outline of a nametag under his own coat, but out of politeness I clear my throat and give him as sincere of an apology I can.
"So what is your name?"
"Hawraz. Hawraz Gulpi. I'd ask for you to tell me yours but, your nametag beat you to it."
I chuckle awkwardly. God, I'm so awkward today!
"Yes, I suppose it has. You're very observant. You must be one of the older years." I say quietly, scratching the back of my neck.
He thinks for a second before raising an eyebrow.
"Would it bother you?"
I blink.
"Would what bother me?"
He tilts his head, shrugging. "I'm a little older than you, Koyar."
