A nerdy kid

Glancing around the room, the next song starting everyone is engrossed with their own circle.

Everyone's forgotten the timed, shy girl from the bar. with the alcohol running through you system and your adrenaline running hot, you don't want to stop.

That's when you see him. A young guy sat alone in a booth. Holding his drink in both hands l, looking nervous and glancing around the room, like a lost puppy.

He's you, when you were 18, you realise. finally old enough to drink so you had out to the clubs only to be regected by all of it.

He sees you watching him and he gives a small smile before quickly looking down at his drink.
