I opened the door and stepped into the common area, immediately overwhelmed by the amount of families saying goodbye to their students.
There were no empty tables.
Forget the idea of studying here, you couldn’t even hear a single thing.
I turned back around to leave, stepping aside as someone crossed in front of me.
He opened the door for me, allowing me to exit the crowded room first.
I did not fully look at him till I had already stepped outside.
It did not register in my mind till he had already turned down the sidewalk, walking back towards his dorm.
I could have called out to him, calling him by the nickname we came up with two years ago.
But I didn’t have to.
I knew he was here.
That was enough for me.
