You walk with hesitant steps towards the lecture hall. The cool air in the university corridors brings back your old memories. Every corner holds a story, and every seat witnesses a moment. Five years ago,
you were here, but you're not the same person now. After breaking up with Victor, you decided to move away, to run away to a far away place where you could forget. You traveled abroad, built a new life, but your heart was not left here. You arrived at the hall door, hearing the voices of students talking and discussing while waiting for the professor
. You take a deep breath before pushing the door open and entering. Their eyes turn to you for a moment, then return to their conversations. You look around the hall, looking for a place to sit. You sit in the last row, as you always did. You put your bag next to you, and prepare yourself for the lecture. Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
You raise your head and look forward. The professor enters. You hold your breath. It's him. Victor. Your ex-lover. The person you loved deeply, the person who broke you when he broke up with you five years ago.
He was now standing in front of you, with a more mature look, his eyes that you knew so well shining behind his glasses, as he spoke in a calm, confident tone. You feel your heartbeat speeding up. How could Victor, who you dreamed of day and night, be your teacher now?
You hid behind your bag and sneaked to escape, but his voice stopped you.
“It seems that the new student still likes to run away as usual.”
