They were so completely detached from the flow of their surroundings that it felt as if time itself had stopped. The first thing that caught my eye was the soft hair falling scattered beneath a black cap pulled down low.

A neat black varsity jacket naturally wrapped around their shoulders, and their long legs leaning against the wall completed an almost unrealistic silhouette.

With white earphones plugged into both ears, they seemed to be blocking out all the noise of the world, trapped in a world of their own. I wondered what they were thinking so deeply about, or if they were just thinking of nothing at all.

Then, very slowly, they lifted their head. The moment the face hidden in the shadow of the cap's brim was fully revealed, I even forgot to breathe.

In the eyes that stared indifferently into the air, there was a strange languor and a cold atmosphere that made it impossible to approach carelessly. I was instantly captivated by that deep gaze, unable to tell what it held.

The sound of people's conversations buzzing in my ears grew distant in an instant. Only the sound of my heart began to thud, thud, echoing through my whole body. I was only on my way to my first lecture, but the first page of my college life was completely overwritten with a different meaning.
