Kevin was tired. His college classes were becoming more and more stressful as the semester went on. It was only the beginning of october and he was already tired of this semester. He had stayed at the library late to study and then he had been asked by a few friends to come down to their house. Since there was nothing else to really do for the rest of the night Kevin decided to go, but left later than he though he would. He had to take the train all the way back to his dorm from the other side of town. Kevin pulled out his headphones and sat down on the train. The music helped him relax as he nodded his head to the beat.
The train ran across the tracks and Kevin opened his eyes upon seeing that a few more people were getting on the train. It was late at night so not that many people were on the train but it was common to see a few people(sometimes a group or two of drunks) to get on the train at this time of night. Kevin felt something walk by him and sit to his side but he paid no mind to it. Just another person riding the train. He paid no attention to his surroundings for about five more minutes but suddenly felt something get pulled from under him. He jumped in surprise and turned to his right.
The guy sat a couple seats over from him and had taken the newspaper he had been siting on from under him. He was a inch or two taller than Kevin but was quite lanky and thin. He was staring at the crossword puzzle on the newspaper quietly. The guy's head was covered by a black hat and he wore a thin brown coat. Kevin looked at him for a bit but looked chose to look away since there was no reason to get mad at the guy.
The train ride continued quietly. Only the sound of the train clattering against the rails could be heard over the sound of the music playing from his headphones. Every once in a while Kevin would look at the guy next to him who was scribbling in words on the crossword before looking away.
"Next up Morgan Hills."
Upon hearing this the guy raised his head in surprise. The train was coming into the station and Kevin looked up only to have a piece of paper being handed to him. The man was holding out the torn piece of the newspaper quietly.
Kevin looked up at the boy who was blushing. He took the paper that was in front of him. It wasn't completely filled and there were a few words in other places. The guy spoke quickly.
"I'm sorry. Please do not think of my as creepy. I would greatly appreciate that." Before Kevin was able to say anything the doors to the train opened and the young man ran off the train. He watched him as the young man walked up the stairs of the station. The doors to the train closed shut and the train moved off once more.
'What in the world just happened?'
Kevin looked at the crossword puzzle a bit confused but after a moment stopped to read what was on the piece of newspaper.
"You've gotta be kidding me."
He muttered the words written in the crossword in surprise. And after a few minutes he was just flabbergasted. He looked around him seeing that no one was on the train cart with him and dared to read it out loud.
"Handsome. Gentleman. With the beautiful bright smile. An Angelic form."
It was a haiku and it caught Kevin by surprise and for some reason he couldn't help but blush. Thank god no one else was in this train car. He thought about the guy who had been sitting next to him but was taken from his thoughts by the sound of the computerized voice for the train speaking.
"EVARWOOD! Next Stop: COLEMANN!"
Kevin got off the train just before the doors closed once more and watched the train move away. He breathed out letting the cool fall air help him relax. Kevin left the station and walked towards his dorm. The only thing that filled his mind was the man who had written it for him and the possibility of him ever seeing him again.
