She took time before replying, "Cool"   

       I could see her struggling about something.  

        She washed her thoughts away as she gestured for me to follow her.

           As she led me out of the hall, out through the small gate leading to apartment buildings and the golden-painted gate. I couldn't help but wonder what was happening.      

    Just followed.      

     As she rocked her hair from right to left and exchanged greetings, hugs, and cheek kisses…oh, and light kisses on the lips with the students we met.      

    We entered the golden main gate, climbed trails of well-lit stairs to the third floor, and walked through the corridors to the furthest door. 

          It was already getting dark.       

    Tiled floor, white walls, huge windows, lots of light now that it was getting darker, and a parking lot made it smell high-end.  

        She knocked and left me there, alone.       

    "That's her room", she said from a distance without looking back. 

          I was left there blank and shocked. Waiting for her to open the door. Wondering if she was expecting someone like me.      

    I heard a beep, tearing me from my mind.
