He sits across the room. For now he seems thoroughly engrossed in whatever is on his laptop, but I could have sworn that his head was once tilted towards me only a second ago. As if he started staring and then just started spacing out. Though his friend had just said something to me, I am 99.9% positive that his gaze was not because of his friends sudden interest in me and was because of some other reason that I cannot name. I know he’s heard me say that I don’t like him before, and it’s not because I know him, because I must not truly know him for he stares. I think it’s just that I don’t enjoy his look. When he looks at me I feel as if all of my troubles come crashing back on me. As if I’ll never be happy again, and it is for that reason I do not like him, yet he stares. His eyelashes are so long that I’m surprised they don’t become tangled up when he blinks. For a reason I do not know, for a reason I’m not sure I would like to know he stares.

So I am interested that this piece was in response to "Crush" when it sounds like this guy kinds of spooks you, or unnerves you. It's almost you want, but don't want, him to look at you, stare. Why?
thanks for sharing this.
