I told myself I just needed to see him. Just one look.

The monster I've always being.
The lecture hall door creaked when I pushed it open. The class was already spilling out, with students laughing, there bags thumping, sneakers squeaking. No one actually noticed me, because no one would have thought I would be there at that moment.
