Rigid Pavements

It was late, probably a few minutes after eight. Students started leaving their rooms  It was after all the last day of regular classes  People were itching to get home and do their business.  Probably to study for tomorrow's finals, or not. You stood there and caught her eyes smiling in the crowd. You veered and looked at the time, breaking the contact  breaking the guilty pleasure you always felt looking at her smiling eyes.  You turned back to look again and you saw her walking alone through the cold corridor. Chase. You walked fast in excitement. You never got to talk to her  Not in person. Not with everyone's teasing. The chance presented itself. You caught up and walked alongside  Talk. The night sky was clear without a hint of romance. You're back to your awkward self. Trying to break the tension, you catch your breath walk a few paces ahead turn around Sigh.
