'I was banging my head on the door silently out of despair when the door suddenly opened and I fell onto him with the tray of coffee falling along with me. My head rested on his chest as I saw the coffee dripping down from his perfectly ironed white shirt to his matt black pants. My eyes widened as I felt my head swirl. My hands felt slippery while it was losing all its control as I tried to balance the tray against his stomach, to be more precise against his six packs. My brain literally ceased to function not instructing what I was supposed to do next. It was one of the most awkward moments of my life where I didn't know how to get out of it.'

As time passed, a question passed through my mind, one the professor had asked and I shook my head to chase it away. But the longer it looked at me, two sharp and intelligent eyes of a creature in a black cloud, it began to back up, and the more it did, the more focused its entity was. Black flakes, neatly arranged, from small to big, branched out from between its' eyes to hardened rocks crossing above the eyes like eyebrows. But before it could move further away, I denied it, "No!" I exclaimed, thrusting a hand into the disc, shattering the liquid that drenched my head in a cool liquid, the bubble too then collapsed into droplets and pounded upon me like a waterfall. I was drenched, shivering initially, with a heavy weight added to my uniform.
