Different Flames

Ch2- different surroundings.

So today is my first day of college classes. I'm nervous yet excited.. I don't know what to expect.

I've never really been a morning person, so I scheduled my classes to start at 9 on some and 10 on the other. Oh, I forgot to mention I'm majoring in psychology. Later in life I want to be a psychiatrist. I feel like it's my calling or whatever. Haha tomorrow it may be something totally different, you never know knowing me and all.
My first class of the day is general psychology. Everything is so new to me. It's such a big beautiful campus. As I make my way to my first class, I decide on a whim that I want to drink. So I make my way to the cafe to get me a strawberry lemonade. OMGeeeeeee, boy do I love STRAWBERRY LEMONADE! It's like holy water from God himself to me.. As I make my way out of the cafe me being clumsy oh me. I run into someone.. A ROCK SOLID HARD someone. I rush out a quick "my bad" and a ton of "im so sorry". Without even looking up.. So I finally look up & to be face to face with this gorgeous blue green eyed God. I just sit and stare awkwardly at him! Dammit LadyBug Get it together! I say to myself. I'm acting like I've never seen anyone this attractive before.. Slowly the world is coming back to me. I take a step back. To really look at him, he's every bit of 6'2 and pure FUCKING MUSCLE! I can tell right he an active one and or play a sport. He so fucking handsome.. He doesnt seem mad or anything that I've bumped into him. In fact he actually smiling.. And boy is his smile a great one.. Im mentally asking God, how can someone be some handsome & beautiful and also that he don't play with my feelings that they are fragile.. He's the first to speak.. He's all like "hey are you okay?" I reply saying, "yeah, my middle name is just clumsy" he chuckles and say he's sure I'm not that bad. I quietly mumble you obviously don't know me, With a tiny playful eye roll. I guess he hears me, because he smiles a bit harder and shakes his head. He offers to buy me another drink but I stupidly decline. Because I have to get to class. We briefly smile other and go our separate ways.
I finally make my way to my general psy class and all of the good seats are taken. So I make my way to one of the empty seats towards the back.. As the bell rang for class to begin someone walks in. I don't really pay much attention to them til that someone walks toward me and takes the empty one next to me. I look up and see the blue green eye God. He smiles at me like a crazy person. And says, "hey I didn't get your name, I'm Malachi" and give me that smile I know that makes all the girls melt. Because I doing exactly that. I give him a shy smile and say, "hey I'm Erin, sorry again about earlier" he wink and mumbles no problem. I think to myself I will never be able concentrate in this class knowing Mr. sexy i merely inches away from me. I give myself an pep and look ahead.. Class has started, the professor Kurtha is introducing himself and briefing to us on the class we are taking.
Asking us do we have any questions. Before I even know it the bell rangs and class is over. Wow it wasn't even bad at all.
As I get my things to together to leave, Malachi grabs my arm and ask me how about that drink now. I don't know what to say, he already makes me super nervous I probably end up saying something stupid and embarrass myself. I don't want to be rude so I just agree.

We make our way to the cafe side by side.. We talk about later classes and pretty much everything.. It's now feeling like talking to him is the most natural thing. We joke and pretty much learning about each other.. Even though he hasn't told me I can tell he came from an wealthy family unlike me.. We make it to the cafe and he tells me to get the table and he get the drinks. I tell him I want my strawberry lemonade.
He gets the drinks and sits at the table I choose. We easily flow back into conversation like old friends reuniting.. And all of a sudden the mood turns from easy and lighthearted to serious.. He asks me do I have a boyfriend. I take a moment before I nervously giggle, replying with a nope it's me. Single as a Pringles. I'm cursing myself because out all things to say I say that stupid shit. He nods his head and smile.. And says,"good".
