JACOB
Each game was short, so we ended up playing a few more before we had to stop. Although I only had two biology courses left before graduation, the others still had a full schedule, and their afternoon classes were about to start. However, they did promise to get together again soon, and I offered to teach them games from my country. Perhaps Chess or Texas Hold'em might get popular here. Who could know?
Once I was alone again, and after I finished processing what happened during those games, I was still left alone with my thoughts, alone with my connection to Stella. I wanted to talk to her, to get to know her, to ask about her life and experiences, but I knew I shouldn't. That was just a pretext that would lead to other things. I needed a new distraction. Something to keep my mind off her, to stay away from her, until I cooled off.
