Comments: I was kind of worried about my classmate that I had seen in front of my house.
Brief summary of the day: After school and work, my boyfriend and I went out to eat. After that, while in front of my house, I saw a friend of mine from school.

Then suddenly, I could see someone running towards me but I didn’t know who the person was. The mood was almost confusing because of my altered vision. But I was able to recognize my location, time of day, and that someone was running to me. When the person got close enough I could see who he was-it was my classmate that I had seen that night!
