Prologue~A Starbucks Run In

Alex and Anthony Meet for the first time.

Walking out of Starbucks Alex Shade studies his biology notes while trying to keep his mind off Chance; his now ex-boyfriend. At the same time Anthony Day is walking into the coffee shop, having just finished moving into his apartment.
Neither is paying attention and end up colliding with one another. Papers go flying.
“Oh man! I am so sorry. I totally was not paying attention,” apologies Anthony, as he leans down to help Alex pick up his papers.
“No no, it’s okay. I shouldn’t have been reading...”replies Alex trailing off as he glances up at Anthony. “Whoa,” Alex thinks, “He’s hot!”
Strands of long black hair fall across Anthony’s face when he looks up at A2lex; their eyes meet. Lost in each other’s eyes they reach for the same paper. Their hands brush against one another’s, snapping them both back to reality.
“Well, again, sorry I bumped into you,” Anthony apologizes once again.
“It’s alright,” replies Alex, standing up and shoving his notes in his backpack.
“Guess I’d better be going,” says Anthony, also standing up.
“Yeah I need to go too; I’ve got tons o f studying to do.”
“Well bye then,” says Anthony sadly.
Walking away from Starbucks, Alex sadly think to himself, “I may never see him again; I’ll never even know his name.”
Little did he know that as he walked away, Anthony continued to watch him go, hoping to see him again.

Interesting is the one word I'm getting from this. I was caught off guard at first by your present tense use, and although I'm not really fond of it, you've used it effectively. Since this is the prologue, I think it doesn't have to be too long. If you'd like, a little more description could lengthen it, but otherwise it's good so far.
