My mind registered the situation, and I realized I was still holding onto him. I let go.
“Sorry,” I repeated. “Normally, I’m not so dumb to walk and read at the same time. Just have a lot on my mi—”
He walked away.
“Yeah. Awesome chatting with you,” I said under my breath.
I looked at him as he retreated down the hall. His shoulders were angled forward a little as he walked, and his head was lowered. Then, he disappeared inside the counselor’s office.
I wondered what his story was. He was obviously new since I’d never seen him before.
Guess I’d find out more on Monday. I was bound to run into him again… just hopefully not literally.
My cheeks heated as I thought about it again, and then I walked outside to my car.
