They say you can't really tell at first glance if a person will play a great part in you. In my case, I didn't saw you amidst the bustling crowd of rowdy first years in class. I never noticed your existence. Like time passing, I count the days and forget that you were there.

But when I did notice you, I can't believe I didn't. You made me want to stop forever at that time and place. You made me want to freeze that moment. Because when it's finally time to go, I can't bring myself to walk away.

I remembered you used to joke of wanting to be a character in one of my stories. And I replied jokingly, "You're not really important you know." And you weren't. But it's different now.

Unexpectedly, the unknown background character became the main character I loved writing so much about.
