Just a college girl discovering herself...

Gently knocking on his open door, you look at Chris who looks a little sad.

“Hey, you okay,” you ask.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Chris says with a pause, then he looks at you slightly exasperated and asks, “So... is... is John your boyfriend?”

You are surprised by the question and assure Chris that John is just a friend who happens to have almost all the same classes as you and lives conveniently next door to you also.

Chris seemed silent for a moment, then just goes over and puts an arm up against the door, next to your head, looking straight into your eyes.

You feel a lump in your throat as your heart seems to be thumping faster.

Chris just says, “well... I’m just glad you are doing alright.”

“Ya know... if you could be the subject of my photography, I’d really appreciate it.”

You feel like he’s too close to breathe and just nod to him.

He seems to sense your discomfort and releases his lean against the door, stepping back as he takes out his phone.

Checking his calendar, he asked if this weekend was available. You check your calendar on your phone and scheduled to meet him in the morning on Saturday.

You exchange phone numbers and before you leave back to your room...
