At the cafeteria,
where Josh was putting a slice of pizza on his plate.
And Sierra whom was confused between choosing Donuts or muffins.
Meanwhile for Grace as she waited at their table,
glancing around while drinking her milkshake.
As she sat there,
a young guy called her out,
making her suddenly nervous.
Yes the blonde guy.
The Mr follower notification.
He approached her with a friendly smile and asked if he could join her.

All grace could be thinking about is how can she fly like a bird from happiness.

"Uh, sure, it's alright,"
Grace replied, trying to sound casual.

As he settled down then started eating comfortably,
Grace was trying her best not to stare.
But it was hard not to glance at him now and then.
Eventually, he caught her looking at him.
She blushed and quickly sipped her milkshake,
hoping to hide her embarrassment.

"I'm Emmanuel Collins,"
he said with a warm smile.

Grace was impressed.
She recognized him from Instagram,
but his profile didn’t have a name, just his picture.
“I’m Grace Cullen,” she replied,
her voice slightly shy.

He chuckled,
“Our last names are kind of similar.”
His laughter was so charming that Grace couldn’t help but laugh with him.

“what a coincidence.”
she said, trying to play it cool,
though her heart was doing a little dance.

They started chatting about the university.
Emmanuel asked how she felt about being there.
She shared her thoughts and then asked him the same,
both of them laughing and getting along like they had known each other for ages.

Love birds ?.

Grace found herself more curious about him.
“Are you French? Your hair, eyes, and name give me that impression.”

“Yes, I’m actually half French,”
he replied with a proud smile.

“Can you say something in French for me ?”
she requested.

He smiled mysteriously and said,
“Alright.....Je m’intéresse de plus en plus à toi.”

Grace's eyebrows raised with surprise.
“Wow, a whole sentence! What does it mean?”
she asked, sipping her drink.

Emmanuel's smile grew deeper.
“It means ‘I’m becoming more and more interested in you.’”

Grace choked on her milkshake,
eyes wide.
Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she looked at him.

His eyes were full of warmth,
and he gave a slight chuckle.
“Sorry if I made you shy,” he said,
brushing the back of his neck, his own cheeks turning a little pink.

Grace, regaining her composure, said,
“Are we blushing right now?”

He laughed, showing his bright smile.
“It seems like we are! We’re as red as tomatoes.”

Meanwhile, at a nearby table,
Josh and Sierra were watching the romantic scene.
Deciding not to interrupt them.

Every time Grace and Emmanuel shared a romantic exchange, Josh and Sierra exchanged looks,
their eyes wide with playful shock as they tried not to burst out laughing at the cuteness overload.
