Reaching upstairs, he hurled me inside his room and closed the door harshly. I stood there shaking with fear. He looked scary. Extremely scary.

"Oh this is what I dreamed of. It was perfect," I exclaimed dramatically while she let out a giggle.
I proceeded towards the elevator, waving goodbye at some of the friends I'd made here when a sudden nostalgia hit me once again.
Because something happened, once again.
The jerk wearing a dark grey suit bumped into me once again.
The contents of the maroon folder in his hands scattered down, settling onto the pristine floor in a mess. Suddenly everything went silent. The only sound that could be heard was that of those light sheets of paper rustling haphazardly.
