Sitting in your University astrology class, you can't wait for your final year to be over. You twist your hair around your black ballpoint pen and pop your gum, hunched over, dazed out from what your lecturer is speaking about. As you continue to pop your gum and twirl your (h/l) hair, your classmates start to glare at you more and more with each pop. 

You look around to catch everyone angrily glaring at you and sit up, eyes wide, then sink down into your chair in embarrassment. The class seemed to ache by agonizingly. When you were finally released from your lesson, you made your way down the halls you were already dreadfully sick of. Opening the brown wooden door, you throw your books down in the doorway and walk directly into your kitchen and start the kettle. You search the cabinet for some tea and a mug, grabbing them and placing them on the counter, adding water as soon as the kettle is done.  You start to stir in your sugar when you start to hear something that startles you. 

Wooosh woosh wooosh...

"What the hell." You mumble to yourself.

You set your mug down softly with a clink on the countertop and slowly tiptoe out of the kitchen and look into the lounge. 

Empty...

You make your way into the lounge and down the small hallway that contains the doors to your bathroom and bedroom. Again, you slowly tiptoe your way down the hall and to the bathroom door, turning the knob softly and then quickly throwing the door open. 

Empty....

You tense up knowing that whatever it is you heard is definitely in your bedroom. You take a deep breath in and turn to face your door. Standing up straight, you grab the doorknob and open the door slowly. When opened you stand to face a blue police box in the middle of your bedroom. 

"Okay, I've seen things much more strange.."  You try to convince yourself. 

Suddenly the door opens and a tall man peeps out. He is wearing a brown trenchcoat, red sandshoes (converse), and glasses. His hair is short and frazzled as he peeks his head out the box. As soon as he makes eye contact with you, he straightens up in the doorway and smiles. 

"Why hello, "
