"No I wasn't." I picked up my burger, I had more appetite to eat now.
"Bro, you gotta see the way your eyes were on her." He laughed, but less loudly this time." I won't lie, I've done it before, every guy does, she's beautiful, you gotta give it to her."
"Well she's cute." She is!
"She's beautiful, you know it, that's why you had a one night stand with her."
I almost choked on my burger. I had to take a drink before I talked again.
"What the hell man?!" I whispered loudly.
"What?"
"Why did you have to say that out loud like that?"
"Oh. Chill, these people are too busy enjoying their burgers to listen to our Convo." He said really chilling about it.
I remembered the main thing I was worrying about when I saw her earlier this morning. I didn't use a condom when we were grinding our bodies against each other that night!
'What was I thinking?!' That's what I would ask myself if I didn't have a chance to use one because I did. When I was carrying her, her legs wrapped around my waist tightly, into the room, through rough kisses, I had stopped our liplock, and had told her I didn't have a condom.
She said she had some; both male's and female's actually but she didn't want us to interrupt what we were having at that particular moment. I would ask why she had both male and female condoms but she was right, it was too hot, too pleasurable, a moment to interrupt.
"I can just take a pill after." She had said.
Maybe I didn't have anything to worry about and was just overthinking, just maybe.
"You know what?, you are right." I said to Dylan. "you are fucking right, no worries from now on."
I wasn't worried about going back to our lodge now, I felt relieved, thanks to Dylan. He did have this way of making problematic
thoughts more funny and less complicated. Maybe it came from him solving too many math problems.....I mean.
When we got back, it was pretty quiet for some reason. Everyone probably had things to do than the usual open door discussions they usually had.
In bed now, after I had gone through some of my books, I was on my social media app just scrolling through. Dylan was asleep already, he looked really tired, if you ask me, he reads a little bit too much.
As I scrolled through, I saw a people you may know list starting with Dylan's picture. I sent him a friend request; we weren't actually friends on our social apps. I decided to scroll through the other many names of people I may know, which basically showed people from my college.
Then this idea popped up in my head, I searched for her, typing in Ann, then I realized I didn't know her last name and besides not many people used their real name recently on social media.
I hissed and left the search bar and when I was tired of scrolling I slept off; unfortunately, because I had planned to stay up all night, since I didn't have lectures tomorrow.

A month later.
It has been four long and stressful weeks now, I haven't seen Ann around, thankfully. Dylan thinks she must have seen me too and is just trying to avoid like I'm doing too because even in general classes, I couldn't spot her. It's not that I'm looking forward to seeing her or anything, I just like to make sure she's not around and that's just what I was doing now, since our lecturer wasn't here yet.
"What you are doing right now is basically pointless, I mean, let's assume she's here and you think just raising your neck and looking backwards is how you're gonna see her?" I turned to face him, he was cleaning his glasses."Do you know how large this hall is?"
"I know...I just wanna be sure she's not around like two or three rows away like the first time we saw her." I replied.
Dylan sighed.
"If destiny wants you to meet her, you will, and that will surely have a purpose.but if there's no reason for you two meeting again, trust me, there's chance you would never meet her again, so relax."
After that lecture, Dylan and I, sat waiting for the majority of the other students to leave. I had my earpiece plugged in expecting Dylan to tap me when it was okay to leave.
He tapped me. I looked at him surprised because it was sooner than I expected. He looked forward kind of like wanting me to look too, so I did.
I unplugged my earpiece, maybe to see more clearly, I don't know because no way. It was Ann. It was her again, and this time she was walking towards me.
She wore a baggy jeans trouser and a bigger pink hoodie, which I thought looked good on her, I think everything looked good on her except that the weather wasn't that cold to be wearing a hoodie, especially one as big as the one she was wearing.
Dylan might be right, maybe she was also trying avoid me by wearing what she was wearing but then she wouldn't be approaching me right now. Fuck!! She was approaching me, I wondered if I looked good right now, I did leave my lodge for class this morning looking okay, I know, but okay wasn't good enough to face her.
I'm overthinking again, I breathed in slowly and when I exhaled, I looked up again and there she was. Has she being in class all this while? How did I not fucking see her.
"Heyy." I heard her voice again after a long time.
"Hey." I stood up, hoping it wasn't visible, how shaky my voice was at the moment.
She waved her hands at Dylan, courtesy I guess. He waved back.
"I will be in the front row." Dylan said leaving.
