Here you go baby have a nice day now." Honey said handing Becca the change. "Thank you" I said picking up our shopping bags. "uh huh and don't yall forget bout me come visit again real soon." she called as we walked out. Becca nodded and waved smiling as the door closed.
Honey was a old friend of ours and was about the same age as us. She was just about the nicest person in the world and would always brighten up your day. She absolutely loved gossip and made you feel right at home wherever she was. Honey especially loved to hear about any boy drama.
Standing at about 5'8 she had beautiful curly black hair and warm brown skin. She wore an awesome pair of circular glasses and always had some sort of jewelry on. Even though she wasn't in college she wanted to become an doctor or EMT. She was definitely smart enough to but she didn't have the money to pay for school. All our friends planned to help her pay. We had to get jobs and finish paying off our debt first though.
On out way back we got milkshakes like Becca promised. She got strawberry and I got chocolate. I wanted to try the mint milkshake but I freaked out when ordering. So I just had to deal with my regular. I took a sip and a cool wave sweet smooth chocolately goodness melted in my mouth. Holy cow it was good no better than good it was like an angel had give me a slice of hevan in a cup. Hmmm ugh I sighed no wonder I always get the same thing. After putting all our stuff away we grabbed our backpacks and headed to class.
We were about 30 feet away from turning the corner to class when I was half way done with my milkshake. "hey." Becca said butt bumping me almost making me lose my balance. "Wanna race?" she asked. "What we are almost there why?" I asked. "yeah but last one there pays for gas." Becca yelled running off. "Hey you cheater." I called sprinting to catch up.
I ran around the corner and smack! I was met with what felt like a wall. I had run into someone and we both crashed to the floor. "oh oof oh that hurt are you ok?" I heard a guy's voice ask. Oh my gosh what the heck! You are literally so embarrassing. Why in the world did you not look around the corner nice going Mariya. "oh uh yeah im fine I'm SO sorry I shouldn't have run around the corner like that. That was my fault and kinda stupid. Uh are you alright?" I looked up at the person I had run into and saw his beautiful eyes. Light shined through the window Illuminating his eyes making them look like a land scape. Jagged Mountain mixed with wavy Sand Dunes as everything spiraled into a dark abyss in the center. It was mesmerizing being able to see how your eye was actually 3D. "I'm fine can't say the same for my papers though." My thoughts were interrupted by his response. I turn my eyes to see what used to be half my milkshake spilled all over his paper work and the floor. I let go of it to catch my self with my hands. I guess he did the same and dropped his stuff when I ran into him. Okay running over him was bad enoughbut this made is so much worse.
"Oh I'm so oh My God I am so so SO sorry I uh -about that I can uh help you replace and um uh rewrite everything I ruined wi with you later ... but not like WITH you with you oh um if you're okay with it of course." I rushed standing up. "Its okay they probably weren't very great notes anyway it's probably good to rewrite them. We should probably clean this up first though. Oh uh my name is Joey by the way." He stuck out his hand for me to shake. "I'm Mariya" I said taking his hand and taking him in fully. He had dark brown hair pale skin and was maybe 5'10 or 11 with a decent build. Wearing jeans and a gray t-shirt he wasn't the hottest guy I'd ever seen but he definitely wasn't ugly either. Joey looked decent for a college student. "yeah let's clean this up" I said.
After cleaning up the mess I told Joey to meet me in the library after class and went to my seat. I glared at Rebecca as I walked up to her. "Hey! There you are what took you so long you? I thought you tripped and broke a hip you'd better pay up now." she said sticking out her arm. "I ran into somebody and spilled my milkshake on their homework when I ran around the corner Becca! It was most of their homework to. Ugh I'm going to die it was so embarrassing." I gru mbled slumping into my chair. "This is why I don't run." I murmured. "ppff ha haaaa that's kinda funny. I'm sorry I embarrassed you. What are they going to do about their work?" she asked. "Well he agreed to meet me in the library to help him after class." I sighed. Rebecca perked up "he?" she asked. "You mean you ran into and fully knocked over a guy." she laughed "How big was he huh? Oh and was he cute? Oh my god no wonder you were so embarrassed. ha haaaa ha!" she squealed. "wow thanks for the sympathy." I said sarcastically. "He is over there in the gray." I said pointing at him. He saw me and Becky smiled and waved back really big and obnoxiously. I buried my face in my hands and groaned when he looked away. She was so embarrassing. "Oh he is kinda cute. Hey this could finally be your chance to start talking to some boys." she said "Oh eww gross I don't want to talk to boys. If anything I learned exactly how to not talk to boys." I frowned. "I don't know some guys might like a girl who can sweep him off his feet." Becca snickered. I rolled my eyes as the bell rang and class started. I glanced at Joey as he opened his almost empty binder with a big smile on his face. Then I wondered if men actually liked stuff like that or if Joey liked it ... or liked me
