(Tiffany's view)
After lunch, Teresa and I have to hand in the assignments. We're now on the way to professor's office.
"Did you watch the episode yesterday? I missed it because I slept earlier last night." I ask her.
"Of course I did!!! What a pity that you missed the most important part of it! The guy in love with her finally kiss her!"
"Wait what? They kissed? I thought they'd refused to express their own feelings to each other."
"I think the same! And then you know, it's very dramatic. So there's an accident which makes them ----"
However, there is one thing pulling my attention from Teresa -- there is a man sitting on a bench, bending over, with his hands covering his face. He's wearing a black hat, a deep brown coat, and black pants. All his looks are... dark. I've never seen him in the campus before.
Wondering who he is, I don't realize that I've stared at him for a long time. Wait! Can he be... the so-called Vigilante!?
"---- and then, they finally kiss!!!! How romantic it is... Hey Tiffany. Tiffany!" Teresa points at me and I get a shock. "What are you looking at..... Oh my god! I-Is he the... ?? Go! You have to talk to him!!" She whispers excitedly and pushes me.
"But... I don't know how..??" I'm confused and don't know what to do. It's too sudden. So I gather all my courage and walk to him. Standing beside him, I cough to let him notice... but I failed.
"Pat him!" Teresa makes a signal with waving hands.
I get closer and pat his shoulder.
He shocks and raises his head immediately. I'm shocked too, so my assignments papers in hands fall down and coffee does too. We both look at each other for seconds. Oh my... it's awkward...
In order to cover up my redden face, I crouch to pick my papers up.
"Oh... I'm sorry..." The man does the same too, "Let me help you." His voice sounds deep.
"It's alright, thank you."
And our hands touch when picking up the same piece of paper... I can sense Teresa's giggling out there, watching us. He pulls away his hand and coughs lightly. I give him a smile to ease his tension.
"What about the coffee? I can pay you for a new one." he asks.
"Oh! That's fine. You don't need to do that..." I rearrange the papers in my hand.
"But some of your papers are moisten of coffee..." his cellphone rings when he didn't finish the talk.
He looks the screen and says, "Sorry, I have to go. I'll see you again tomorrow, Tiffany." And then he walks away.
