her what he is saying. It is hard to keep paying attention when I can even smell her perfume. It smells so good like flowers and vanilla. Makes me want to get closer to her and take a deep smell of her skin.
    Okay , now I know I’m in over my head and don’t know what to do. Who does that? Who wants to smell someone’s skin because they smell good? Especially since they first met the day before.
    I have never in my life wanted to smell any girl I have been with before. Maybe I will not be lucky after all. Having to sit here day after day with this torment? It is already killing me to not just reach over, put my arms around her, and pull her close to me.
    Then the professor starts to talk about an assignment we have to do with the person right beside us. I listen closer to what he is saying. I glance then to both sides of me to see who will be my partner, but the only person next to me is Alexia. Yes ! Maybe not though, being around her more could be too much to handle. I think that maybe if I get to know her I will get over this infatuation. That is what this has to be - yes, infatuation. This assignment will fix that for sure, and maybe we will be just friends.
    I write down the assignment and put my books away. I noticed Alexia looking a little bit confused. Why, I wonder, is this girl looking this way? Then she asks where everyone is going and I tell her that the class is over. She really must have been spacing out over something important. I let her know about us being partners on the assignment and she makes a face. This girl and her faces are going to be the death of me.
    I laugh and tell her that we have to get together soon for studying. I also make a joke about the assigned seats and being stuck with me the rest of the year. She smiles at me, but it’s not a full-on smile. Is that the reason she didn’t pay attention in class? Is it really that bad for her to sit next to me? It has to be something else. Maybe I should ask.
    Before I can do that, she hands me her phone number and says not to bring her grades down. Wow ! She must think I’m a loser who doesn’t study. I will show her that I am not. I wonder if this is her cell phone number. I’ll text her soon to make sure.
    I tell her that I will text her soon and that I can’t wait to start the assignment. I decide to tell her that I’m not a cheater and let her know that I was just joking. I even do something as stupid as telling her that she is pretty, but then I take it back. She interrupts me to say, “I told you I wasn’t.” That makes me angry because she is beyond pretty.
    I smile at her, “You’re not pretty but you’re the most beautiful girl I have every seen. You shouldn’t interrupt me when I’m not finished talking. Well, I have to go, but don’t forget I’ll be texting soon. Never think you’re not beautiful.” I leave before I say something else to embarrass myself.
    I can’t believe she doesn’t know how beautiful she is. I know she thinks she looks like everyone else, but she doesn’t. To me, she is something special.
    I really should text her to make sure she gave me her right number. I start texting her number, but then I hear Megan before I get to finish, so I put my phone away. I turn around and go the other direction to avoid her. The more I see her, the more I dislike her. Megan is this spoiled girl who thinks she should be able to get whatever or whomever she wants. I know one guy who isn’t into her and that is me. I guess my friends would probably think I’m crazy because she is really nice to look at and would let me do whatever I would want to do to her, but that isn’t who I want to be. The best thing can do is just ignore her.
    I walk out the opposite side of the building, which makes my walk longer, but I’m good with it. Who doesn’t need extra exercise? I head back to my car so I can go to the condo. I think, I need to hit the beach for a while , before my next class . I have three hours before that time,
