------------------------(William)-------------------------
I William Adams, having been in a month since I entered college, I can officially say that...
It's weirdly easier than high school somehow.
Maybe because of last year's... events.
...
Yeah probably because of that.
No problem though!
If I just stop thinking about her then I will be fine-
"Ow."
????: "Shit!"
I think I just bumped into someone and I don't think they are the friendly type.
I should apologize.
...
Immediately.
"Sorry about-"
She grabbed my short collar and pulled it while raising her other fist before I could say anything else though.
????: "Watch where you're going you little-!"
I cover myself to protect myself from a maybe unexpected punch.
????: "You...you..."
Isn't she going to do anything?
????: "You little cutie~"
...What?
????: "I'm Jess a 2nd year!"
She pulled me closer into a hug?? It doesn't help that she's taller than me too. What is she trying to do?
Jess: "What's a cutie like you doing here? Walking all alone~"
"I'm just going home..."
Jess: "Aw, I don't even know your name yet~"
"I don't think you need to know?..."
I tried to just walk away from this but maybe I should've run away instead.
"!"
Because she walked in front of me, turned around, pulled me into a hug again And then pinned me against a lamp post!
Jess: "You haven't told me your name yet."
"I-I'm William and now we will part ways and hopefully never see each other again."
I try to get her arms off of me but I don't think she will take that for an answer. She doesn't budge.
Jess: "Well Liam..."
Her face got closer to mine.
...
Too close...
Jess: "Why don't we hang out for a bit~?"
"Uh... no thanks I think I've left my girlfriend Rose waiting already."
I made sure to emphasize on the girlfriend part. She loosened her grip a little bit.
I then quickly untangle her arms off me and walk away and go to where Rose was.
At least that was the plan until Jess stepped in front of me once again.
...
Thankfully she doesn't pin me on a lamp post again.
Jess: "Really?"
What?
"?"
Jess: "You already have a girlfriend?"
She sounds genuinely shocked?
"Y-Yes really, now goodbye...!"
I start walking away faster this time.
Jess: "..."
Somehow I just knew this wasn't going to be the last time we see each again...

...
A girlfriend huh?
I wonder who it is...
I might decide to pay them a visit.
