"Hey it's you!" I shouted at the brunette, recognizing him from the week before. He stared at me for a minute, trying to remember who I was, before breaking out into a huge grin. "Hey I remember you! You nearly ran me over!" I laughed while I quickened my pace to get to where he was. Once I got there and our laughter died down, we settled into an awkward silence. I wanted to break it and say something, but my social anxiety kept getting in the way of that. So instead, I let myself get distracted by the tulips in the bark, swaying in the breeze. The guy said something, but because I was so focused on the tulips, I didn't hear what he was saying. Didn't help that my brain registered the other people's footsteps, the bird calls, and the cars passing by at the same volume as his voice. "Huh?" I said looking up from the tulips. "I said that was a pretty nasty fall you took. Are you doing alright?" he asked. I blinked, blanking out for a second, before remembering what he was talking about. "Oh, yea. I'm fine. A few bruises won't kill me. It was a miracle you grabbed me off my bike before I went into the roadway." And once again, the awkward silence blessed us with its presence. I looked around, trying to avoid making eye contact with the brunette. In an attempt to break the silence, I took a breath and said, "So... nice weather we're having, isn't it?" "Yea, I guess so," he responded, and the silence took hold once again. All of a sudden, he bent down and ripped a tulip out of the bark and awkwardly handed it out to me. "F-for you," he said, a light shade of pink dusting his cheek. My eyes widened, at the unexpected action, and I giggled, taking the flower from his hand. Where was that charismatic ladies' man I saw a week ago who rescued me off my bike? "Um, wow, uh, thank you...?" "Kai. My name is Kai." I smiled and said, "Thank you, Kai."
