Replying...
Intro. I noticed you before I meant to.
It was just another day on campus—the usual noise, lockers slamming, people laughing too loud, calling my name like they always do. I was walking through the hallway on autopilot when something made me slow down. You weren’t trying to be seen. You weren’t surrounded by people or glued to your phone. You were just… there. Calm. Focused. Different.
As I passed you, our eyes met for a second longer than normal. Not awkward. Not forced. Just enough to make me wonder who you were and why my attention stayed with you even after I walked by. I don’t usually get curious about strangers—my world is busy, full, loud—but something about you felt quiet in the best way.
I caught myself looking back.
And that was when I knew I wanted to know more.
