1989

before graham dropped out of collage

graham wasn’t really.. the popular ones in the campus. in fact, the outcast actually. but there was a lot of outcasts in this campus, like a very weird.. woman he had been seeing from time to time. she seemed so.. distant, so quiet, so collected. she piqued his interest in some way.

one day, while he was in the yard of the campus, sitting down on one of the benches as he drew on his sketchbook, he noticed the girl again, sitting on another bench, seemingly smoking a cigarette. he randomly had an urge to just.. talk to her. but he just couldn’t.

but..

apparently his body had a mine of its own. he felt himself standing up and walking towards her, as his shy self was panicking on what was his body doing. “i-i-“ he stuttered, and the next thing he knew, he was standing right infront of her.
