Okay, he’s coming

Walking towards me

Do I look okay?

Lemme just smoothe out my hair a little...

Tuck my bangs behind my ear.

Much better.

Look down.

My pants are okay?

Are they covering my shoes?

Oh! My shirt!

I’ll just adjust it a little.

He’s getting closer.

I’ll look at the person next to me.

Do I know them?

No.

Laugh.

Look like you’re interested

In what they’re saying anyway.

SMILE!!

He’s closing in!

Look at the floor.

Look at his shoes.

Look up…

Up…

Up…

Oh God!

“Hi!”
