The Man In The Suit

The man paces back and forth in the hallway wearing his all black pinstripe suit that emphasizes the roundness of his stomach, and wearing sleek, polished, black leather shoes that look almost new, he sticks out like a sore thumb as students wearing street clothes pass him as they head off to class, paying him no attention. He holds a series of two manila folders and a worn down spiral notebook in his right hand as he looks around for somebody, impatiently and unconsciously tapping the objects in his left palm. What or who could he be looking for? A couple minutes pass by and still there, waiting. At some point he decides to stop the waiting and with a frustrated look in his eyes he quietly walks through the crowd of students and goes up the polished gray concrete stairs.
