I managed to look away every time our paths crossed. You were running late that day, and your friend had saved you a spot one seat away from me. One seat closer to me. My heart an overheated chamber, my mind a chaotic library of thoughts, I panicked and got up. Anywhere, but here. Anywhere, but next to you.

Elsewhere.
I managed to look away every time our paths crossed. You were running late that day, and your friend had saved you a spot one seat away from me. One seat closer to me. My heart an overheated chamber, my mind a chaotic library of thoughts, I panicked and got up. Anywhere, but here. Anywhere, but next to you.
