It's Just TOO Quiet

I walked into the building today, and listen carefully. What do I hear? Nothing. As I'm walking in, everyone who sitting down in the lobby pick up their heads and look at me. I try to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of their actions. Everyone in the lobby had laptops. One girl had a Mac-book Laptop with a light blue case. The man in front of her had laptop as well; the color black.

I make my way to the lap section where I suppose all the people are at. Was I correct? Partially.

In the lab, I spot about Five people. Mostly all guys. It felt kind of strange thinking I was the only girl in the room at the time. Sooner enough, a girl walks into the lab. She takes the seat right next to me and smiles. I smiled back of course. From my assumptions, she might be sparing time in the lab until its time for her to leave. She logs on into her canvas and mail. She constantly clicks the mouse over and over again. She might just be wondering; What is on the news today?

I take a second look at her and I tell myself, I love her shirt; its in my favorite color: Purple. Her style of clothes fits her personality. The color of her skin is like a caramel color. Her hair is SUPER short. To describe the length of it, think about a guys hair cut. But you can see she has curly hair. Even though the length of her hair is short, you can still tell the type of her she might have.

I see more and more people start to walk in. Some people find spots, other don't. Is this building getting packed? If so, this would be the first time. Every time I come to this building, fewer people are present.  

As I look around the room, nobody is talking. Students come, do their work, and leave. In my personal opinion, Its too quiet in the building. All you hear is the noise coming from the computers keyboard.

 Usually when I'm writing, I see students pack their notebooks, pens, pencils, laptops, and stuff in a fast paste. Today, nobody seems to be running in a hurry but me. Today, this is where i will end my notes. I will pack my notebook away and make my way to my following destination. Until next time!
