It's been two days since my study session with Hero and I can't stop thinking about it. The way he kept looking at me throughout the night and then the way he held me when he was teaching me how to shoot the stick. I'm not going to lie, I don't know why I can't stop thinking about it. I've known this guy for years now and not once have I ever felt this way.

"Morning girly! Are you getting ready for class?" Hailee walks in from the showers breaking me out of my thoughts with her question.

"Hey yeah today it's my only class. I still don't know why I signed up for a freaking early morning class" I sigh while I finish brushing my hair

"Well you learned your lesson and won't sign up for another one unless it's absolutely needed" she replies as she starts getting ready herself

"That's couldn't be more of a true statement" I giggle

"So you never told me where you were the other evening" Hailee presses

"Oh um a classmate needed some help with geography and they asked me for help so of course I agreed to help them." I stammer

"Oh that was nice! No offense but why'd they ask you? Did you know them?" She asks trying not to offend

"Um actually yeah the guy who asked me we went to high school together" I say as I finish packing my school bag

"Wait guy???" Hailee says with a smile on her face

"Yeah he was a guy" giggling  at her reaction

"What does he look like? Is he cute?" She asks now giving her full attention to

"Um I mean yeah he's a nice looking guy."

"What do you mean by that girl is he cute or not?" Hailee pushes

"He's he's cute ok" I give into her questioning

"I think I may have to pick you up from class so I can see this cute guy" she giggles

"Lol ok"

"You seem on edge about him why?" She asks yet another question

"I'm not.... I don't know ok" I huff

"You like him but don't want to" she smirks

"I don't like him" I huff once again

"Sure" Hailee says as she puts her hands up in defense

"I'm going to be late for class we'll talk later ok" I say

"Ok we better I want the back story about you two because there obviously one" she smiles

"Bye Hailee" I wave as I close the door

*********************

Class went quickly and things felt different between Hero and I. I can't put my finger on what felt different but it did.

"Josephine!" I hear Hero yell from behind me trying to catch me.

"Hey, what's up?" I ask

"I finished my essay and was hoping you'd look over it,so I could make changes if I have to." He says as he scratches his head

"Sure,I did ask to do that" I say

"Do you have time now or do you want to do it another time?" He ask nervously

"I have time now I don't have another class today" I smile

"Ok should we go to the coffee house?" He asks as we continue to walk out the building

"Yeah that would be good" I smile as we head towards the coffee house

"I'm going to order something..what would you like?" Hero asks me as we walk I tot he coffee house

"Oh I can get my own" I reply as I start to rummage for my wallet Only to realize I don't  have it.

"Or not...I seem to have forgetter my wallet" I say embarrassingly

"That's ok like I said what would you like" he replies

"I'd like an vanilla iced coffee with cream pleaser it's not to much " I say Shyly

"It's no problem" Hero says to me. He  tells the cashier the order and we find a table once our orders are received.

"So this is what I have. I don't think it's very good but" Hero says as he hands me a copy of his essay.

I take a few minutes to read through the essay as Hero stairs at me nervously.

"It's good Hero. It seems like you've griped the understanding of what professor wanted from you on this essay." I smile. I'm truly impressed with the product that Hero produced.

"Really? That's a relief. I was worried that I understood everything completely wrong." He chuckles

"No you've got it" I try to reassure him

"Well I would be never gotten it without a great teacher so thank you" He smiles.

How come I've never noticed he has dimples when he smiles?

"You're  welcome"

"So um how are things?" He surprises me by asking a question that doesn't relate to class.

"Um things are going well, it's been a transition but I get along with my roommate really well and classes are going smoothly. You?" I ask not sure if I'm really interested or if I'm just being polite

"Well other than struggling with this class things are going good, like you said it's been an adjustment. But I'm rooming with Zac from back home so that helps a lot to." He states

"Oh I don't realize Zac decided to go here to, that's great!" I smile. Zac was always the funny one in high school. It was hard not to like him in high school with his humor and him being kind to everyone.

"Yeah..I-" Heros cut off by his phone ringing.

"I've got to take this I'm sorry" he says

"That's ok I should go anyways...I'll see you around ok?" I say as I grab my coffee and backpack

"Yeah bye" he says before picking up his phone.

When I get back to the dorm Hailee is back from her classes and sitting on her bed.

"Hey girl! I thought your class ended like an hour ago?" She questions

"Yeah it did, Hero wanted me to look at his essay so we went to the coffee shop." I state

"Wait who's hero? And is Hero seriously a persons name?" She chuckles

"Hero's the guy we were talking about this morning. And yes that's seriously his name." I giggle

"Huh interesting but I'm intrigued. Now I need the back story with you to now that we have time. So time to spill girl." She smiles as she hops on my bed with me

Hey!

Ok so this chapter is everywhere and I apologize for that. It's kind of just a filler but I promise there's a reason for it.

I wanted to get his chapter up as I'll be on vacation with family the next week, so if I don't update next week this is why. Don't worry our family trip is mostly enjoying the great outdoors. We will be social distancing and wearing masks when needed 😊

Until next time!
