it,” I said and held up the rock. I hid the
paper under my thigh. Had no idea why I was hiding it. I just did.
Randy inspected it and
grumbled. Then he looked out of the window. His head darting from side to side.
“Don’t see anyone out there,” he said and leaned against the wall.
I shook my head and put
my underwear on.
“You’re just going to
leave?” he asked and grabbed my wrist.
“Yes, think I’ve had
enough fun for one night. I’m going back to the dorm,” I said and pulled my arm
away.
“You’re not even
wondering who the fuck broke my window?”
I shrugged. “Probably
one of your friends messing around with you.” I finished dressing and grabbed
my purse, still squeezing the piece of paper in my hand.
“None of my friends
would do this. Fine, go ahead,” he said and held his hand out to the door.
Hurrying downstairs, I
avoided his parents and walked out to my car.
Rain drops started to
splash the windshield when I reached the university. I leaned back in my seat
and closed my eyes for a brief moment.
Randy was going to be
pissed. Probably blame me for making another excuse to get out of sex. I balled
my fists. Well, he could get over it. Maybe everyone got it wrong. Maybe it was
better to be alone.
Remembering the piece
of paper, I opened it. Then I knitted my brows together.
‘Stay away from her!’
The words ran over in
my head. Okay, maybe it wasn’t one of Randy’s friends. I don’t have many, so
who the hell wrote this?
Possible the messenger
got the wrong house. That had to be it. No one would be jealous of Randy for
going out with me. Right?
I shrugged it off and
walked towards the dorms.
As I pulled my keys out
I noticed Danny sitting on a bench with his gray hoodie pulled over his head.
The moment he looked
up, I froze. Those light blue eyes always seemed to catch me unaware.
I blushed and nodded.
“Hi,” I stammered.
He licked the corner of
his lip and nodded back. Probably surprised I said anything. “Hi,” he said
back. Calm and composed as usual.
I’ve known Danny since
we were kids. We used to be close, but that all changed when we hit high
school. It was all my fault to. I tried to fit in with the rest of our peers and
in the process pushed him away. He’d never know how much I missed him.
I shook past memories
away and looked down. Then I walked away quickly before I made an even bigger
ass of myself. I don’t know what possessed me to talk now all of a sudden.
Not like we could start
over. There was also the fact that Danny was gorgeous. No longer the small
nerdy boy I grew up with.
He was a good six
three. His face filled out nicely with a strong jaw and perfect nose. Not to
mention those kissable lips. He was flawless and I was nothing but flawed.
Everyone would see us and wonder why the hell a hot guy like him would choose a
plain and overweight girl like me.
I walked to my dorm,
showered and slumped in the bed. Luckily my roommate was out, so I’d be
guaranteed a good night of sleep. I washed, got into bed and closed my eyes.

The next night in
English I sat down in my usual seat and raised an eyebrow when Danny took the
one next to me. Odd, he usually sat in the back.
As his eyes traveled
over me he flushed.
What’s that about? I
opened my mouth to speak but shut-up when the professor started to lecture.
Drumming my fingers on
the desk, I glanced at the clock. Time seemed to move like molasses. It was
always like with late classes.
Danny took notes and
refrained from looking at me again.
Tick.
Tock.
Finally, the professor
stopped and ended class five minutes early.
I hurried and packed my
things and left the classroom. That’s great. Running away again. Something I
was good at. Why was it so damn hard to face him?
As I walked down the
hall towards the science building a hand gripped my arm and tugged me
backwards.
My eyes widened as I
turned to face the culprit. “Danny?” I asked and took a deep breath. What the
