My Anonymous Love

One shot

Hercules Mulligan walked into the classroom and sat in the back. This wasn't his favorite class, but she made it a whole lot better. But, she didn't even know it... yet.

She walked in the room with her baggy sweatpants and black t-shirt. Even though she looked like a hobo, Herc thought she was the most beautiful person in the room. The class was called History 101 which is the one class everyone had to take in their freshman year of college. The girl sat in the front, eager to start class. Mr. Washington walked in and took a quick glance towards the students.
"Alright everyone, welcome. Now turn your textbooks to page 394 and we will begin with the American Revolution." Herc looked down to see her whisper in Angelica's ear, "I hope this won't be too boring today." Angelica smiled in return.

Herc couldn't help but stare at her the entire class, even though she had crap stains on her pants. He didn't want to admit it, but he was in love with her. He just had to know her name.

After class was over, Herc rushed down the stairs and caught the girl before she walked to her dorm.
"Hey, hey!" He boomed, startling her. She turned around and smiled at him. She thought he was intriguing, after all. "Um, yes?" Suddenly, Mulligan started to get really nervous, and if you knew Herc, you know that he does NOT get nervous. But she was so different. She made his head turn in circles, made his heart flutter just at the thought of her, and made his face heat up when she walked by. And she didn't even know of it. "Hey, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime. Uh... i was think-" He was stopped abruptly, getting goosebumps as she put her hand on his shoulder. "Omg, yes I've been wanting to make new friends! I'm actually having some close friends over later for a small party, um, would you like to come?" She looked at him with such delight. She was finally making more friends. "Oh! That sounds great. I'll be there."

Herc smiled like a giddy little kid as he walked into his and Lafayette's dorm. He closed the door and started to think of her. Lafayette was on the couch watching tv. "Bonjour, mon ami! Where have you been?" He paused the tv and looked up to see Herc blushing madly, still not moving from the door. "Jeez, who's got you blushing?" Lafayette sang, embarrassing his friend. Herc was quick to answer, "uh..no one." He ran to his room, shutting the door quickly and locking it. Lafayette was banging on the door, wanting to know the details. "No let me in! I need to know! Was she cute?" He chuckled. After about five minutes of no response out of Herc, he left him alone. Mulligan got dressed in a hoodie and jeans. He spent more time than usual doing his hair and making sure he looked nice. Finally, he was ready.

She waited for him as guests started to arrive. She wasn't sure why, but he was so intriguing. Plus, she heard from a little french man that he liked someone. And, she sort of wished it was her. He entered the dorm, but this time he wasn't speaking in a loud, booming voice. He was shy and quiet, which was very much not like him. She left her friends and walked up to him. "Hey, good to see you again, stranger." She laughed and asked, "Do you want to play Mario Kart with me?" He smiled, "Of course! I love that game."

Her laugh was intoxicating. He didn't think he could fall for her more, but he did. They enjoyed Mario kart and getting to know each other better. The party filtered out quickly with all of her friends going back to their dorms. She leaned over the couch as the last ones left. "See ya, Angie, Eliza, bye Thomas, bye Alex, and you too John! See you in class tomorrow!" Finally, they were alone. He had been waiting all night to do this. Herc asked her very seriously, "Will you... uh..." she looked at him and waited for the rest of his sentence. He looked up sheepishly, "Will you barf in the punch bowl with me?" He expected her to slap him, walk out, really anything other than what she actually said. "Of course, I thought you'd never ask." They took a fat barf. At the end of the night, he had to go back to his dorm. "Thank you for this it was really nice." He looked her in the eyes. "You're welcome." He kissed her on the cheek and walked out the door. "Oh by the way, I've been having so much fun I never caught your name." She whispered through the dark hallway. "Oh, sure it's Hercules Mulligan. How about you?"

"My name is Kaylon." 😃
