was still beautiful in every way. Her big blue eyes grew wide and I stopped walked. Our faces were inches apart and I heard her gasp.
“Hey, Soph.” I smiled at her and waited for her to say something. When I knew she wouldn’t respond, I took her hand and looked into her sexy eyes. “It was good seeing you in class. Sorry I couldn’t talk but maybe next time.”
She fought back a smile, thought I wasn’t sure why. Her hair was in her face and her blue eyes matched the crystal clear ocean in Miami. There was something else in her eyes, I noticed. This was our story of a broken heart, but this was my second chance.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. Before she had the chance to say anything, I let her go and walked away.
I was tired of walking away from her and I had to have her back. Soon, Sophia. Soon you’ll know what’s in my heart and you’ll be mine once again.
I went to the gym and worked out for a few hours. After I was done, I was exhausted. I ran on the treadmill and worked on my legs. I got my gym bag from the locker room and headed home. I walked into the apartment and saw Connor watching some of the past games on TV. “Hey,” I said closing the door and putting my bag down.
Connor turned his head and looked at me. “So you’ll never guess who I just had dinner with.”
I walked over to the couch and sat down. “Who?” I was curious who he would’ve seen. He looked happy. “A new girl?”
Connor shook his head and paused the game. “Sophia.”
My body went tight and I tensed up. Connor had dinner with Sophia. I wanted to know everything she said and how it went. “Tell me everything.”

Another sleepless night as I tossed and turned. I couldn’t sleep and needed to get out of bed. I picked up my sweat pants and red hoodie. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and I washed my face. I gave myself a look in the mirror and walked out of the apartment. I needed to run or do something. There was pent up energy and frustration in me that I didn’t know how else to release. I walked on campus and studied how quiet it was. I kept walking but then I saw her walking. Her back was to me but I knew it was her. I walked a little faster to catch up to her. “Good morning.” I said with a smile on my face.
She whipped her head to me and started smiling. That’s my Sophia, let me in now baby. “Morning,” her voice is casual but there seemed to be a slight hint of excitement.
“I heard you had dinner with C onner last night. How was it?” I winked at her and saw her body relaxing. There was something in her eyes and I tried to study her more. She seemed different and opened.
“It was so fun!” I laughed at how cheerful she seemed. “We talked for a little and he ate my food.” She laughed and looked at me again. “How’ve you been?” We stop walking and she turned to face me. There we were, in the middle of campus just staring at each other. My thoughts flew to what I wanted to do. I wanted to kiss her and feel her all over. She tilted her head slightly to the left and waited for my answer.
“Good, real good, and yourself?”
“I’m ok. What are you looking at?” she lets out a laugh.
I shook my head and ran my hand through my hair . “Nothing, I’m glad I decided to come to this school.”
She touched my arm and my whole body went into near shock. Something was very different. Why was she touching me and why was she smiling at me. The fear she had with me before seemed to have disappeared. “I’m glad you decided to come here too.” We continued walking in silence. There was a lot I wanted to say to her but I couldn’t find the words. It felt good walking with her and being so close to her. We walked a little more until we came across a building. “Thanks for walking with me today. It was fun.”
Without thinking, I took her hand into mine . “I hope we can see each other soon. Have a good day, Soph.”
“You too Adam,” I leaned in
