MADISON
He leans against the side of the building with a cigarette
dangling from his lips. His boots are crossed at the ankles as
he leans against the brick wall. Scrunching up one eye to
keep the smoke out, he looks almost unapproachable, and
the thought of actually going up to talk to him scares me to
death. Yet, I’m going to do it anyway.
He comes out here every day and sneaks a cigarette,
glancing furtively left and right like he’s afraid someone will
see him.
I see him.
I see him everywhere I go, it seems.
He doesn’t really fit in here, with his tattoos and his
perpetual bad attitude. I know from class that he would
rather grunt than speak in full sentences. And people let
him, mostly because they’re afraid of him. But the only thing
I’m afraid of…
Well. The only thing I’m afraid of is that I won’t get to
meet him. That he’ll turn away and refuse to talk to me.
I take a deep breath and start in his direction, but just as I
do, he drops his cigarette butt to the ground, grinds it under
the heel of his boot, and then he throws his backpack over
his shoulder and starts walking in the other direction.
He’s walking away. Seriously?
“Excuse me,
” I call to his retreating back. I sound like I
swallowed Kermit, so I clear my throat. “Excuse me,
” I call
again. I run to catch up with him and tug on his backpack. He
looks back over his shoulder, but then he keeps right on
walking. “Wait!” I say, trying to keep up. “Damn it, would
you stop?”
He stops very quickly and I slam into his back. He rocks
forward and I grab onto his pack to stay upright, feeling like
I have two left feet. I am usually more graceful than this. My
mother would kill me if she saw me right now, making a
public spectacle of myself in the quad.
He turns, grabs me by the shoulders and steadies me,
then he bends down to look into my eyes. His are bright blue
and full of questions. “Are you all right?” he asks, his voice
gruff. I’ve never heard him do more than grunt in class, so
hearing him make a full sentence, albeit a short one, is
startling.
“I’m fine,
” I gasp, a little winded from chasing him.
“You’re really fast.”
He grins. “Sweetheart, you haven’t seen fast.”
My heart skips a beat. I am in such big trouble. I don’t
know why I thought I could approach a man like this, but I
did, and now I don’t know how to ask for what I want.
“Cat got your tongue?” he asks. A grin tips one corner of
his lips. He’s pretty enough to take my breath away. His
blond hair flops across his forehead and he shakes his head
to swing it back from his eyes.
I open my mouth to speak, but only a squeak comes out.
He looks around the quad, looking behind me like he’s trying
to figure out where the hell I came from.
