I say, "I'm sorry..." as my breathing is uneasy.
"Don't be," he bends down to help pick up the mixture of books and papers and coffee I just spilt everywhere. "Are you okay? You seem disturbed."
He lays his hand on mine and 8 can't help but look up, "Umm, to be honest, no, but that's not any of your business. Sorry again." I break the eye contact.
"It can be if someone is trying to hurt you." He stops me again.
"H- How did you..." I stop and am now looking him dead in the eye.
"This is gonna sound creepy, but I've been watching you." He looks panicked, "Not in a creepy way though!"
"What?" I keep eye contact.
"I've just been observing you. That sounds awful." He looks and sounds even more panicked than before, "I mean, I think you're beautiful and I just didn't know how to approach you. I tend to be socially awkward with girls I have an interest in and I didn't want to scare you off..." He trails off, "But when I see you around, my gaze gravitates towards you," he sighs, "I sound like a total creep. I'm sorry." He pauses, "I've noticed you've been looking over your shoulder a lot and are in a rush in the halls. Almost like you're running away from something..." His eyes meet mine and I can tell he's being genuine, "I can help you." he says sympathetically.
I nod and whisper, "He's always knows where I am and always knows my next move."
