The DoorWay ScrewUp

    It was a nice day; the day was beautiful. As he was walking to his last class of the day (Media Software Tools) he noticed a lady walking towards the same building. As the door came nearer and nearer he noticed that the lady and he might reach it at the same time. The boy, deciding to be a gentleman, like he naturally is, hastened his pace so he might open the door for her instead of having some semi-awkward moment of both reaching for the door. Who knows, maybe their hands would have met and they would have fallen in love?
    He noticed she also had activated her quickfoot and in accordance he began to walk even faster. Finally! He reached the door and opened it with ease. As the boy was having a huge mental sigh of relief the lady passed through and a girl was walking out, through the open door. Their eyes met.

    "...," he started. His mouth was dry but he mustered up the strength to say, "your... problem." His voice cracked.
    He quickly walked into the building with his head down. He felt so stupid, so idiotic.
    Your problem? Bahh, what the crap is that?! he thought as he hurried down the hall. 'You're welcome,' 'No problem,' the phrases had been rehearsed inumerably and yet he still messed up.
    What's wrong with me? he sighed as he approached the door of the Mac Lab. She wasn't even cute! He wanted to get in there as quickly as possible to finish his homework assignment that was due within the hour. As he grabbed the door handle he noticed a sign on the door:
