Stranger Studies
January 14, 2008Dressed in an ordinary way – with jeans and a tee, he grabs my attention with his extraordinary facial features, which I quickly identify as a mix of European and Middle Eastern blood. His white skin seems perfect, unblemished but in the duskiness of the room I cannot be sure. He sports a broad smile, showing as many of his shiny, healthy teeth as possible.
He is very fluid on the dance floor, following the rhythm and the beat of the music. However, he is just an okay dancer: despite his skill, he tends to be very repetitive in his movements. For some reason he stays away from female partners, preferring to sway his body in the awkwardly-formed circle of his male friends.
From time to time, he turns towards me and gives me this broad grin. Having in mind that he smiles all the time, I do not feel that he is trying to make an impression on me. He seems very self-confident; I do not like him.
Haha! This is hilarious. It’s a bit harsh, but I like that you don’t shy away from saying what you think about him, rather than giving some fake idealized perspective that you don’t believe. And you should have the last part be its own sentence. ie. “I don’t like him.” Definitely my favorite line
