As I passed through the park in my neighborhood, I couldn't get my dream off my mind. I was in deep thought when I suddenly bumped into someone. It was a girl. She seemed to have been really hurt.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry. What do I do?", I asked her out of guilt. "Should I take you to the hospital?". "No, I'm fine. I think I just sprained my ankle. By the way, you seem very familiar. You're Jake right?"
"Uhm, yeah? How did you know?", I asked. The girl replied, "Uhuhh, you really should remember your college acquaintances. My name is Nikki, we go to the same Accountancy class. Nice to formally meet you." At that point, I realized how ignorant I was. I couldn't even recognize a ridiculously beautiful girl who takes the same Accountancy class as me. "Are we the same year?", I asked out of curiosity if I should be all-friendly with her or if I should be cautious around her if she is my senior. She replied with a smiling "Yes". So we are both freshmen, interesting. I finally had an encounter with a stranger who is actually sane and normal, and I'm not gonna lie, she's definitely my style.
I took her into my house and gave her a little first aid. Honestly, that was the first time I wanted to thank my P.E teacher back in High School. As I tended to her sprained ankle, my mom entered the house. She immediately greets my mom and shows her respect. That was the first time I've actually seen my mom so joyed by the fact that I've brought a friend home, since all my friends were a bit naughty.
"Jake, why don't you introduce me to your girlfriend over there?", mom said hysterically. "It's nothing like that. She is supposedly my classmate on a subject in university and we met a while ago. Her name is Nikki."
"Nikki. It's a pretty name. Are you interested in going out with my son?", another question my dear mother asked my classmate whom I have just started to know about 20 minutes ago. I looked at her face and it was apparent that she was a bit uncomfortable, so I asked my mom to stop teasing her. I apologized to Nikkie for the inconvenience and offered to take her back home.
She accepted my offer and we set out to her home. To my surprise, she lives just a few blocks away from where I am staying. I was astonished and excited at the same time. Out of nowhere, I unconsciously asked her if she would want to get closer with me and that I wanted to be closer with her. She agreed and we agreed to start by going to school together.
I'm finally taking my first stepping stone towards a happier college life. 'This is finally it. My first possible romantic relationship on the making. It would be awesome if we could someday be together.' How I wish.
