Recap:-

When I reached my room , I shuffled with the knob and glanced towards the door opposite to mine. Think I should say 'hello' , and introduce myself. Maybe no. That would be awkward.

Some shuffling noises came from inside the room and the door opened revealing a guy. He had the same tousled brown hair. He was wearing a blue tee and looked handsome under the dim light of the hallway.

"Sky?"

***************************

Who knew that the person in the next room was Sky? Oh boy, I surely did know. And note the sarcasm.

"Hmmm...no, I am his doppelganger ." He snapped, running his fingers through this hair. I felt as if someone had thrown cold water at my face. To say I was shocked would be an understatement.

"Whoa! What crawled up your butt and died, huh?" I retorted and my eyebrow shot up. Seriously, what was his problem? Idiot.

He had a slight frown etched on his face . Then he just shook his head and the edges of his mouth twitched slightly, lifting up a little.

"Sorry. I was really stressed and I took my anger out on you." He gave a sheepish smile which made my heart beat fast. Ugh! Stupid heart...

"So, you are okay now?"

He just shrugged . He folded his arms across his chest. He was wearing this blue tee which stuck to him like a second skin and suddenly I wasn't very comfortable standing there. Due to the dim light in the corridor, he looked very intimidating.

"Yeah...why?"

"Nothing, well I didn't see you at dinner?" I said and repeating his action and crossed my arms in front of my chest. I tried to look intimidating. Well, I'm sure I looked as intimidating and scary as a puppy.

"Just didn't feel like coming." He said rubbing his eyes. Was he ... tired?  Well, he did look tired. Maybe he was sleepy. That would explain his behavior few minutes ago. When I am sleepy, I could destroy anyone who comes and disturbs my sleep, then finish off their funeral myself. Thinking about the soft bed and pillows, and the warm blanket Hmmm... I'm sleepy already.

His soft brown hair was unruly and messy. He had dark bags under his eyes and they didn't have that spark in them. They did seem a bit dull.

"Like what you are seeing?" His question brought me back, breaking my train of thoughts.

Was I checking him out?
Answer: Yes!
Did he catch me checking him out?
Answer: Double yes!
Is this situation embarrassing?
Answer: Heck yeah!!

" You wish." I snorted. My answer was a complete contrast to my face, which by now , I must be resembling a tomato. A very, very red tomato. Hope he didn't notice.
HIGH HOPES!!

"Okay, I've got to go. See you later. Night Flame." It wasn't before I saw a tint of pink on his cheeks. Oh my holy peeps! So he noticed it.  I mentally face palmed myself .

"Night, Skyler." That's the first time I've called him by his actual name. Don't know why but it just slipped out of my mouth.

I glanced back at his retreating figure. This guy could be a total mystery sometimes.
A little sigh escaped my lips. Today was long. Really long...
