“Hey,” Alex approaches him, breathless from the flights of stairs he mounted. “Henry, right?”
Henry turns his head to look up at Alex, slightly startled from his reverie. “Yes, and you’re Alex, I presume?” The roundness of Henry’s vowels immediately rivet Alex’s attention, along with his sharp blue eyes that seem to be looking everywhere else but him.
“Yeah, shit sorry I’m late. Time blindness, am I right?”
“No worries,” he rubs his palms over his jeans and Alex settles down into the seat next to him, setting his bag on the table with an obnoxious thud.
“So,” Alex begins, taking a notebook and a pen from his backpack and then shifting his attention back to Henry, “your application said you're taking spanish101, is that right?” Henry nods his head reticently. “Okay then, let’s start off with what you know and then we can work our way up from there.” Alex gives Henry a lopsided smile.
“Well, my spanish is very… limited, to put it quite frankly.” Henry scratches the back of his neck nervously, a light shade of pink spreading across his cheeks as he looks down at the Spanish textbook in front of him.
“That’s alright.” Alex smiles warmly. “We’ll start off simple, yeah?” He opens up to a random page of his notebook and begins to write down formal greetings in Spanish, along with the translations. Alex can feel Henry’s attentive gaze on him as he does.
“What about the textbook?”
“Oh— screw that thing.”
