Mysteries Around Him

My mind is still reeling with the events of Saturday night as I walk to history class on Monday morning. It feels as though I have floated to another world as I remember back to the moment I found River drunk in the hallway outside of my bedroom.


“Sorry,” I mutter an apology to the stranger I just bumped shoulders with and continue to stare straight ahead, not looking at anything particular, as I walk to class.


The cheeky, carefree smile he had on his face when I opened the door has been imprinted in my mind since that very moment. River has affected my ability to think clearly since the moment I met him. I mean, it’s not a surprise because I’m sure most girls feel that way, but this time was different.
