I have this tendency in my life to always go for the wrong option. If given two choices, I would always pick the worse one. Hence, it wasn't a surprise when that day, I decided to take a shortcut to college.
Damn, my luck.
I was squeezing water out of my hair and shirt, a minute before the lecture was supposed to start.
Really not my day.

He nodded as his lips curved up into an adorable boyish grin.
I was feeling cold with the wet clothes and the Air Conditioning switched on, but nothing could beat the fact that I had just come across someone who knew Kai for the time when I wasn't together with him. I got engrossed into our conversation and forgot about the chills. I asked him a lot about Kaidon. His grades, his hobbies, his relationships. Seydon didn't know a lot, but I did learn that Kai never dated in undergrad- At least not publicly. That was surprising.
Oh, I forgot to ask the main question, what course did he take up-
