I have known the person sitting next to me for quite some time. My neighbor is 5 feet 7 inches tall and has large blue eyes that stand out against tanned skin. His thick brown hair has been cut short for the summer time, making his eyes seem bigger. He has thick, brown eyebrows that slightly meet at the top of his nose. The well proportioned nose and full mouth are the same shapes as mine. His rounded chin gives off the illusion of his entire face as a big, happy circle. The redness in his cheeks reminds me of an apple. His ears do not stick out the way they used to.
Since the house is always hot in the summer, he is wearing a light cotton t-shirt and gym shorts that my mother bought him. The T-shirt is a light gray color with navy blue trim around the neck and sleeves. The shorts are a darker shade of gray with a black and white lining going down the side and around the legs. He does not have any shoes or socks on.
He is sitting at the wooden table sipping Seltzer water loudly out of a plastic cup. He has a single subject notebook in front of him with a pen, but he has not written anything yet. My neighbor is staring intently out of the kitchen window. He is flipping the pen back and forth with his left hand while staring blankly, making his chewed up finger nails visible. I wonder what he is thinking about.
I think he knows that I'm looking at him.
