It's been a while since I've last made contact with him. I wonder how he is. Along the way to class, whispers and gossips filled the air. Anecdotes of the event that happened by the waiting area - some inaacurate, others concoct, while a few were true.

I wonder how he's doing with all this.

I've been seeing him in class in which we have the same subjects, but once the classes were done, he disappears. I've been wondering what his name was, so I ask my seatmate and she said that his name was Walter.

Walter

I wonder if he's avoiding me...

Once the day was over, I did my usual routine - pick up my sister, wait in the waiting area, then go home.

Days pass by and he still keeps his distance, making me wonder think that he is avoiding me. Till one day, during one of the subjects we were together. We're suppose to do a short story with a partner of our choice. Eventually everyone have picked their partners and the ones left were... Us...

"Can't we just write stories of our own?" Walter protested.

"Either you two pair up and make it happen, or don't work together and I can just fail you, along with Angeline." The prof stated back.

I took a deep beathe, gained my confidence, and approach him.

"Hey, Walter. Mind if I partner up with you?"

He looks at me, blankly. Then says, "Be my guest." Stepping aside, making me sit on the avaible space beside me.

The prof claps his hands loudly so that everyone settles down, saying with his deep dark voice, "Now that everyone's picked up their partners, you're all dismissed."
