In the Third Person

*This is for class.

He wears almost the same thing every day. Glasses, backwards Tigers hat, EMU Football jacket, some kind of hooded sweatshirt or fleece underneath it with sweats, wind pants, or even the occasional pair of blue jeans. "I never said I like wearing the jacket, but the damn thing is just so deceptively warm." That's the thing about Cole, simplicity is a requirement, the clothes he wears are strictly for comfort. "I just figured, what the hell? It's not like I'm gonna meet someone important in class right?" He stands up and goes out into the hallway to grab a drink of water when I notice the circle on the left hand back pocket of this particular pair of jeans. My question is answered for me when Cole returns to the room with a wad of tobacco stuck in his lower lip. "Eh, on and off since I was about 16. Constantly since about 20 or so..."

Ok, that's enough. Letters later...
