      It was a new day; winter is just right around the corner. The small city of Swiftwood Heights, a hilly green land full of oak trees, forests and mountains surround the city. The rain continues but starts to calm down just a little.

*Thunder roars*

After looking out of his wind shield, Carson Fuentes looks at the clock. It was 6:30am. Carson is 21 years old; he lives in his car and parks in the college parking lot in front of the campus every night. Carson has brown eyes, black hair, light skin, always wore long sleeve, jeans and hoodies. He ended up homeless after losing everything in the span of 7 days.

His family business went bankrupt, he lost his home, his family died in a brutal car accident, and worst of all, he only has a few precious hours to live. Carson suffers a disability in which he must take a small tablet every 24 hours just to live another day. As he looked at his coffee in the cup holder, he picks it up with his left hand. He then opens the bottle and takes one tablet to take for the day while drinking the coffee to swallow it.

*Swallows*

*Drinks coffee*

*Panting*

After putting on a yellow hoodie, blue jeans, brown shoes and his white earbuds, Carson grabs his black backpack and leaves the car.

*Car closes*

*Locks Car*

As he entered the main building, Carson looks to his left to look out the long hallway window to see how bad the storm is getting. It started raining a little faster, but the clouds were still light gray.

*Exhales*

Carson continues walking a little faster across the hall, he wasn't comfortable to be walking around with so many people around him. Class hasn't started yet, so to spend the extra time, Carson sits down on a bench near the stairs. He leans his head against the wall and closes his eyes for a moment.

*Inhales*

*Exhales*

*Inhales*

*Exhales*

When he opens his eyes, he looks across from him and sees a poster of the college homecoming dance hanging on the wall. He then closes his eyes, reminding himself that since today's Halloween, the dance is going to take place tonight. Carson then looks to his left and sees 3 couples making out in the hall, another bench and at the courtyard. Since he's never been in a "true" relationship before, he grew a hatred towards couples. He's had difficult memories when it comes to love, sometimes it was his fault, sometimes it wasn't.

Suddenly, a girl comes out of the women's restroom holding her red backpack in her hands while walking across the hallway. She was wearing glasses, a green jacket, and blue jeans. Carson notices her walking and remembers her. He then starts having flashbacks of how they met. But he doesn't know if she remembers him or not.

Flashback:
Carson sat on the right side of the bus and saw her sitting in the seat across from him. She had brown eyes, light skin, long brown hair and wore glasses. She would always look out the window, and not talk to anyone. Sometimes she would even sleep while laying her head against the glass or swiping through Instagram.

Carson minded his own business throughout the early Months of the 1st semester, but the girl's mysteriousness kept him wondering about her. Months later, Carson got a little curious about her and gained some interest about getting to know the girl. He knew, he had to introduce himself to her. He sat on the seat behind her. He took deep breaths, calming his pounding heart and have the urge to talk to her. He knew if she sees him, there will be no way out of the situation, but he will be willing to take chances no matter what the situation is. After a few deep breaths, he slowly taps her shoulder.

*Tap*

*Tap*

The girl turns around and takes off her left earbud.

Carson- "Hey, you don't know me but, my name is Carson."

The girl smiles at Carson, he smiles back.

Margo- "Oh really? I'm Margo."

Margo turns back around and goes back to her phone. Carson, sits back down and looks out the window, feeling like he's lost energy.

Present:
He watches Margo walking by. When she left, Carson notices that she dropped her ID. He gets off the bench and picks it up.

*Picks up ID with right hand*

Carson looks at it for a moment. A photo of Margo smiling with a red shirt, and her full name "Margo Daizy Woods". Carson smirked because he never knew her last name. When he looked in front of him, he notices she disappeared, and was not in his sight. Margo's mysterious behavior started getting to Carson. He started crushing on her, even though he does not show his emotions, ever.

*Heavy breathing*

Carson- *Startles* *Turns right*

Carson turns to his right after hearing someone breathing into his right ear. He looks around, is it another student? Is it just his imagination? Is someone following him? Or was it just the air? No one was close by him. Everyone in the lobby were just minding their own business at least 12 feet away from him. Carson continues looking around his surroundings.
