I guess she had more guts than I had, cause the next day she approached me voluntarily.

'I am sorry for yesterday,' she had said with a smile and a look of guilt. I was alone for maybe the first time in the cafeteria, as all my friends had lectures.

I had looked at her dumbfounded. She still taunts me over that look.

Mouth open and wide eyes.

She stood there for a good five minutes, while I shamelessly gawked at her; ignoring the cup of hot coffee in her hand

and then,

"do you mind if I sit here?"
