few days before Uni starts
at the student bookstore to pick up books
put them in backpack
notice nerdy birb with no backpack struggling to carry books
she notices you
you notice her carrying the same textbooks required for some of your classes
to break the awkward glare moment you say to her
"oh hey! I notice you have some of the same books? do you have Dr. Yorkwitz as well? for his astronomy-200 and his quantum mechanics-120 classes?"
"uhhhh.... y-y-YES!... I-I- I DO! I-I mean yes, Im sorry (with an anxious, nervous, broken tone)
despite her feathers, you could tell her face was blushing red
"h-his lectures start for me at 10am,on Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays. And his quantum mechanics lecture in the afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. w-what about you?
"really? same actually I guess I'll see you in class then" you reply
"oh! then I guess it's a date-”
she pauses and her eyes bulge realizing what she just said
I-I mean.. y-YEAH! I'll-I'll see you then! BYE!
she frantically stumbles away like a penguin in the arctic, only able to get 10 feet away before losing her grip
her books fall to the ground
she quickly and embarrassingly tries to get things in order
you walk up to her, “are you alright? here, I can help you carry your textbooks
”oh I-I umm,uhh,y-yeah, I mean…
she pauses and closes her eyes, and takes a breath
”th-thanks, I appreciate it”
”sure thing” you say with a joyful expression
”Im Anon by the way, and you?”
”D-dorm…”
”it’s nice to meet you, Dorm”
”N-no! I- uhh… m-my dorm isn't too far from h-here”
”oh! Haha, so what is your name?”
”....”
