smile.

I know when you have your break on Tuesdays. It's the same as mine. I've spent the last two weeks in your company during that time. But I've had the feeling lately that I'm bothering you. I'm annoying you. So today, I stayed away. I wondered whether I would cross your mind at all.

I went to class typically late. I sat with my friend. I could see you. But I didn't dare message you. I wanted you to relish in your time without me. When class finished, I planned on walking out without saying hello because I wasn't sure whether you'd want to talk to me. We accidentally made eye-contact and I couldn't help but say hi. It's courtesy, right? I walked out with my friend. I stood and chatted with her so that I wouldn't have to say bye to you as you walked out. But you stood and waited for me.

So I walked with you and your friend. You asked where I was going. I had no idea but I told you I had an hour to kill. We then took a detour to the library that had just opened. You asked if I wanted to stay and study there. I was rather confused. We walked out and said bye to your friend. 

So, on the day that I had planned to stay out of your way, I ended up spending an hour with only you anyway. Just like every other Tuesday. 

One thing did bother me. I was reading through the notes you took from today's class when you suddenly tried to grab the book from me, saying that there were things in there that I wasn't allowed to read. Notes between you and your friend. I can't help but think that it's something not nice about me.

You told me that I smile too much. I wonder if you've ever thought about whether I smile that much around people who aren't you.
