Prompt: I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere. -Vincent Gallo-

Plot: A people hater attends university/college
I can feel him leering at the back of my head, but I do my best to ignore it and listen to the professor, and then write down my notes. Goosebumps cover my skin as a wave of uncertainty hits me. Nausea rises from the pit of my stomach. I begin to think that maybe I can't do this after all.
This is no place for a misanthropist. It's my first day, my first class, and I can barely function.
I realise I've missed a few sentences from the teacher and I zone back in, but the feeling of being watched is too strong and I turn to look over my shoulder.
Everyone has their eyes to the front of the class and I feel stupid, but, before I turn back around, he glances at me and smiles. I smile back and hope it doesn't look like a grimace. He looks back to the front of class and I follow suit.
I don't know why I'm so concerned about his looking at me. It's not like I have to talk to him again. All he did was help me pick up my books and give them to me.
I can do this. I think affirmatively. I can get through this course without having to talk to people or socialising. I'm certain people do it every day.
I manage to get through the rest of class and write down all the notes I need to. When the class is dismissed I keep myself busy until most of the room is empty and then walk out with my head down.
I am feeling accomplished already and positive about my plan when I feel someone fall into step beside me.
"So, book girl, do you have a name?"
Shit.
NB: I didn't expect anyone to review as these are just a bunch of random drabbles (that aren't very exciting at all) so thank you to those that have taken the time to give me feedback xx
