　　He walked slower as he came to the block where he knew the building was. It was probably in the middle of the block. It was 7:30 and all the other stores were closed and covered with iron gratings. Yeah, that must be it, he mumbled to himself. He almost stopped as he pictured himself walking into the room. Everyone would be looking at him. What would he say?“Good evening. I'm Spencer.”No. Maybe he would ring the bell outside and have someone come to the door. They could walk in together and then he wouldn't be alone. He already knew what he would tell them when they asked him why he had come. He had thought a lot about the easiest thing for him to say.“I came to learn to improve myself.”That sounded good. They would know what that meant. He fingered the pencil in his jacket. He hadn't known what else to bring…

　　The same sign was in the window of the storefront.“402 Main St. Adult Learning Center”.

　　He took a deep breath and continued to walk slowly to the window. He looked inside as he passed…There was no one there. Was he too early? Would he be the only one to come? He walked to the corner and stopped. He knew he wasn't going home. He just needed a couple of more minutes to think about it. He turned round and walked faster now back to 402 Main St…. He turned the knob but the door wouldn't open.

A woman walked by.“Oh, they're closed today,”she said.“It's some kind of holiday or something. They're usually open every day though. Come back tomorrow.”He turned and looked at her, and then nodded.“Thank you,”he said.“Maybe I'll do that. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.”
