You were at some random party, you didn’t even remember who by. Why bother? It didn’t matter, you were always at parties nowadays. You were a broke college student just barely surviving off instant noodles and penny pinching so much it puts the show ‘Extreme Cheapskates’ to shame.

You sat on the far end of some old beat up couch. Some couple making out on the other end and a group of people talking loudly on the other. As you sat there debating on going home or not you saw some guy on the couch in front of you sitting on the far end. A hood pulled up over his head and cigarette in between two fingers.

He just stared at you. It was creepy yet enticing. His face was hidden by his hood except for his eyes which were a piercing grey color. He didn’t look at anyone else but you, eyes locked on you intensely.

Most guys tried to chat you up or use alcohol to swoon you. Him? He just stared you down like he was breaking down all the walls you had put up with just a look. It made you feel vulnerable yet it wasn’t a bad feeling oddly.. You actually wanted to go to him. To have some sort of companionship in your lonely life. But instead you stayed put, just staring back at him.
