of women in his life that lasting impressions were few and far between. No, I was here for a job interview, and we barely flirted with each other. I bet that’s not his usual interaction. He’ll remember me enough.
    As she sulked back toward campus, Dylan pulled her cell phone out of her purse after a buzz alerted her to a text. It was from Kate:
    Just got your ‘Screw Your Roommate’ costume. Get excited! Can’t wait for you to see!
    “Oh fuck me…” Dylan muttered out loud in a slow drawl.
    “Uh…I was actually hoping that I could just walk you to class…” Kai said with his eyebrows raised as he sauntered up next to her. “But if you insist…” He was smiling. At her. A blast of heat exploded all over Dylan’s skin and she laughed nervously.
    “Oh. Hi. Sure, ” Dylan said because they were the only words she could speak while thinking about how it was possible that Kai White was strolling alongside her like it was completely normal for the two of them to be doing so. Then, she blushed. “Sure about the walking, not the, um, other thing. Even though I know you were joking.”
    Kai grinned. “What was that about?” he asked, lifting his chin at her cell still clutched in her hand. Dylan’s gaze bounced down to her own hand for a few seconds to remind herself of what she had been doing before he ambushed her as a companion.
    Dylan twisted her face in annoyance, directed at the not-present Kate, as she shoved her phone back into her bag. “Oh, my school has this tradition called the ‘Screw Your Roommate’ dance, and it’s when one of your friends or your roommate sets you up on a blind date with someone with the help of their roommate. The two of them pick complementary costumes for you to wear, and you have to use your costume as a clue to figure out who your date is at the dance. Most of the time they set you up with someone they know you’re going to have a good time with but, occasionally, they play a trick.”
    Kai, who had been laughing before she even started the explanation, was laughing harder than before. Dylan was already starting to like the way it sounded and that he was doing it because of her.
    “What’s so funny?“ she asked, bumping him with her elbow. She got sheepish immediately. She was used to doing that with her friends out of habit, and they barely knew each other, but he hardly seemed bothered by the contact.
    “That’s a really misleading name for a dance,” Kai said, turning his body toward her slightly when he spoke. They crossed through the pedestrian gate at CSFC and moved toward the center of campus. She was amazed that Kai had actually walked back with her, and in such a non-celebrity fashion, without bodyguards or an entourage or anything to draw any attention to himself.
    “Well, Kate is going to screw me in a way I won’t like,” Dylan said, laughing lightly. “She said she found my costume, and now I’m scared. She claims I agreed to this a while back.” Dylan sighed. “No memory of this occurring.” And that was because it probably hadn’t. It sounded like a concerted effort between her friends to get her back into CSFC’s social scene.
    “Are you gonna go?” Kai asked.
    Dylan shrugged with one shoulder. “Doubt it. It was fun freshman year, but it’s not really my thing anymore.” Disappointment crept in when she neared the building where her class was held. She stopped at a bench in front of it and dropped her bag to the seat. “Well, this is my stop.”
    “Oh.” Kai looked from her to the stucco structure in front of them, and she could’ve sworn she saw disappointment in his eyes, too. “If it’s any consolation, I can’t imagine the guy feeling like he got screwed. I can see him being pretty cool with it,” Kai said, still flashing that amazing smile at her. “Thanks for letting me walk you.”
    “Thanks for walking me,” she said as she heaved her bag back onto her shoulder. Kai waved before he turned to go. Dylan sighed. The
