Paraylzed Love (BK 1)

Chapter 3

Nicole's POV

I walked into a room that was kind of like a conference room with seats filled in around a central spot where I assumed my professor was standing. There was a podium with a projector screen behind him.

I slid into a random seat in the back of the large room just as my professor cleared his throat and began his lecture. I sighed, took out my notebook and began taking notes.

The morning passed by fast and I was surprised when I found myself walking to the cafeteria. I grabbed some ala-carte items and looked around for someone to sit with. I was about to take a seat at an empty spot when someone dragged me to their table. When I looked at who it was, I saw Cindy smiling at me innocently. I sat down beside her looking for him. Him, as in the boy who made my knees weak whenever I thought of him, the one that had gorgeous eyes, full beautiful lips, and a smile that could brighten up your day in an instant. Josh.

I finally found him sitting with the group of friends I had seen with him earlier and waved to him to get his attention. He looked my way and smiled before going back to his conversation with his friends. I smiled to myself as the events of this morning played through my head.

I picked at my salad before eating it and looked around at the people that Cindy called friends.

"I would like you to meet my friends," Cindy said. She started with the brunette off to my left and went around the table as she introduced me to all of them. Overall, they seemed like very nice, cute, and beautiful girls that any guy would beg at their feet for.

I looked up every few minutes and caught Josh staring at me every time. I winked at him and he looked away as I could see a blush forming on his cheeks.

I spent the rest of the day going to all my classes where Cindy was in a few and Josh was in one. It was 5:00 before I got into my car and drove off to my apartment that I had rented on campus to unpack my stuff.

After I finished unpacking, I checked my phone for any new texts. There was one. From an anonymous number. Smiling to myself, I checked

the number and it matched with the one written on my hand.

It read: [hey.... This is josh....]

[hi, what's up?]

[nothin much, you?]

[same]

[so I was wondering...]

[uh huh]

[if you would like to go out with me on a date this Friday. I mean you don't have to if you don't want to.... I was just asking... I understand if you say no.... But please don't..]

I smiled to myself when warmth spread through my body as I read through his text. [ I'd love to... You seem so nervous lol :)]

[well I kinda am.... I'm so glad you said yes. I'll pick u up at 7 yeah?]

[sure]

[So I was also wondering if you would like to go out with me and my buds to dinner tonight too?]

[ ya, I don't have anything else planned :)]

[see you at 8 at the diner at the end of the street right next to Pizza Hut?]

[see you there ;)]

[bye]

Slipped my phone back into my pocket as I went to my closet to look for something to wear. I finally decided upon a pink miniskirt with a white v-neck t-shirt showing a considerable amount of cleavage, not too much because I was meeting with his friends as well. I slipped on some black heels and looked at myself in the mirror. I touched up my make up fixing anything that might have been messed up through the hectic first day.
