Kenzie Matthews beamed with pride as she led the group of prospective students through Westwood College's picturesque campus. She loved sharing its history, highlighting architectural gems, and showcasing the vibrant student life.
As they walked, Kenzie pointed out the iconic clock tower, the student union, and the library. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and the group listened intently.
"Any questions?" Kenzie asked, scanning the crowd.
A shy freshman-to-be raised her hand. "What's the best way to get involved on campus?"
Kenzie smiled. "We have over 200 clubs and organizations. You'll find something that fits your passions!"
As the tour concluded, Kenzie handed out informational packets and encouraged the group to explore. As they dispersed, she noticed a tall, athletic figure watching her from afar.
Their eyes met, and Kenzie felt a flutter in her chest. She quickly looked away, focusing on gathering her materials.
Hank, still captivated by Kenzie, approached her.
"Hey, you're doing a fantastic job showing off our campus," Hank said, his voice warm and genuine.
Kenzie's cheeks flushed. "Thanks! I love sharing Westwood's story."
They exchanged introductions, and Hank learned Kenzie was a rising junior, majoring in business administration.
"What brings you to Westwood?" Hank asked.
Kenzie's eyes sparkled. "I wanted a smaller college experience, with a strong sense of community. Plus, my mom's an alumna."
Hank nodded. "Family ties, I love it. My dad's a huge baseball fan. He's always pushing me to excel."
Their conversation flowed effortlessly, covering everything from favorite campus spots to summer plans.
As they parted ways, Kenzie couldn't shake off the feeling that she'd just met someone special.
Meanwhile, Hank returned to his apartment, Kenzie's smile etched in his mind.
"Ty, I just met the most amazing girl," Hank said, bursting through the door.
Ty looked up from his video game. "Whoa, slow down! Spill the details!"
Hank grinned. "Her name's Kenzie. She's smart, beautiful, and loves Westwood as much as I do."
Ty chuckled. "Sounds like you're hooked, man."
Hank nodded, already anticipating their next encounter.
