here we go again

there he stood, just 3 feet away, a little to my right.
we exuded awkwardness. so much, that the cloud of tension between us seemed to engulf us, wrapping the two of us in it's mist.

i stole glimpses of him, careful not to let him catch me looking.
i just couldn't believe it. after so long, here he is. standing near me, and yet, i don't feel any closer.
we were well aware of each other's presence, but no one made a move to initiate a conversation.

so we left it as such.
till i opened my eyes, cursing under my breath, well aware i was almost late to class again.
