"Arthur, what do you have planned today?"
"Class, like where you should be going."
"I have morning classes; I am finished."
"Well, I have afternoon classes, so I am busy."
"What about after?"
"I will be studying in the library."
"Can I go with you?"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because"
"Please"
"No"
Arthur looked at me one last time before getting his things and walking out of the dorm. His words will not stop me. There is a library close to the liberal arts college where Arthur is. I will have to wait for him there secretly and without him knowing. I will pop out of nowhere and scare him! It is the perfect plan. Arthur should get out of class by six pm. I guess I need to find something to do now. "I need four hours to kill," I laughed, spinning around a chair.

"No, don't, Francis," I said in a high-pitched voice as I played with Arthur's stuffed animals. "Hahaha, but I will," I said with a much deeper voice. I was getting one of the stuffed animals to punch the other stuffed animal. I lay down on Arthur's bed, holding the stuffed animals in my hand. "It is so boring without him giving me sarcasm," I huffed as I held the stuffed animals close to me for a hug. I looked at the time and saw it was 5:30, causing me to stand up quickly to rush to get dressed so I could go to the library.

I have no idea what floor he will be on, so I will have to wait for him to come, and I will follow him. I sat on a chair hidden but facing the entrance as I waited until eventually, he came! "I got you now eyebrows," I laughed seeing him. He was walking up the stairs. Perfect! I started laughing to myself as I stood up to follow him. I kept a reasonable distance so he would not see me following behind him.

I continued to follow him until he finally stopped on the third floor. I made sure to stay hidden behind bookshelves and tables. "What are you doing?" Another student looked at me, and I laughed nervously. "Nothing," I tried saying in English. I laughed it off as I turned back to Arthur who took a seat. As I watched him, I could not help but admire how he looked focused. I slowly walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder.

"Francis? Do not scare me like that. What are you doing here?" Arthur held onto his chest, suddenly seeing me. "I came to scare you," I laughed, pointing at him. Arthur rolled his eyes and looked back to his work. "That is creepy," he teased, looking at his book. "Do you mind if I sit beside you?" I asked, and he looked up at me, smirking evilly.

"I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!" Arthur shouted, making everyone around us look at me. "Will you hush it?" I asked, looking at him, annoyed. As people continued to stare at me, I took a book off of a shelf and sat at a different table. I will get him back; just watch.

After a few minutes, I noticed Arthur start walking toward me. "You should know by now that I study psychology; I know why guys like you are trying to screw around, sexually and emotionally," he looked at me with a stubborn face as I laughed. "Is it because I am gorgeous?" I asked, laughing, and he turned red, looking away. "Get over yourself" he looked back at me, and I smirked.

"200 pounds FOR ONE NIGHT?!!! THAT IS TOO MUCH!!" I shouted, making everyone turn to Arthur as I continued to smirk at him. "Well, I study law; I know how to make people feel guilty" I laughed as Arthur looked around to everyone staring. "The one time you can talk English, it is when you want me to punch you," Arthur shook his head, walking away with his things. I stood up quickly to follow after him.

"Why do you keep following me?" He asked, annoyed, turning to me. "Because Arthur, I want to know you more," I answered, and he clicked the elevator door to open. "Why?" He asked as the door opened. Arthur walked in, and I followed. "Because I really like you," I admitted causing his face to turn red. "You just like making fun of me," he looked at me angrily, but I shook my head. "To be fair, you started it," I laughed, and he looked away once more as the elevator door opened up.

"What will it take to get you to leave me alone?" Arthur asked, and I smiled. "Absolutely nothing; I want to be your friend, that's why."I smiled sweetly. His eyebrow started to twitch in annoyance. "But why?" He asked, confused. We both walked out of the elevator together and started to go toward the dorms. "I already told you, it is because I like you" I smiled again, and he turned away. I did really like him; he was interesting to be around.

"Fine.... but I have not the slightest clue to what friends are supposed to do," he explained as he adjusted his bag on his shoulder. "That is okay because I do," I smiled, making his eyes widen. "Like what?" Arthur asked quietly. "Well, they hang out, watch movies, or eat dinner together," I pointed out. "That sounds more like what a couple would do," Arthur shrugged, looking at me. "More or less," I laughed, following him up the stairs to our dorm. "What am I supposed to get from the experience?" He asked, and I made a confused face and laughed. "What am I supposed to say? Happiness or something? I have no idea; that is up to you," I smiled, putting an arm around him. "I say we watch a movie together for starters," I smiled, taking out my key card for the room.
