“Tell me about it,” he said. “Things are getting crazy. I have a ton of homework for school.”

“Me too. I was hoping, though, we could do something early

next week.”

“Unless you want to meet me on campus for dinner, I’m not

sure when or how,” he said.

“I could meet you on campus.”

“You’d do that?” he asked.

“Of course. Just tell me when and where.”

“Cool. Tuesday at five?”

“Works for me.”

“Great, I’ll text you and tell you where to meet me,” he said.

“Hey, Kurt, hurry up!” one of the other guys shouted.

“That’s my cue,” Kurt said, giving her another quick kiss

before running off.

Tuesday at five, Candace checked the text Kurt had sent her cell just to make sure she was in the right place. She was on the bench facing the main doors of Davis Hall, and it didn’t seem like there could be any mistaking the location. The campus was a little rundown, and the buildings were cramped together, but there were some lovely green lawn areas and old trees that offered shade.

The doors to Davis Hall opened, and people came stream-

ing out. They ranged in age from sixteen to sixty from the looks of it. She spotted Kurt as he made his way for her.

“Hi!” Kurt said, as she stood up. “Let’s go get some food.”

“Sounds good.”

She fell into step beside him.

“How was class?”

“Brutal. It’s hard to pay attention to the lecturer. He speaks really softly and laughs at jokes only he gets.”

“At least he laughs,” Candace said, thinking about her

monotone history professor.

“I’ve got to write a paper for his class, and I have no idea how I’m going to pull that off.”

“How long does it have to be?” Candace asked.

“Five pages.”

That didn’t sound too bad. “What’s it on?” she asked.

“The American Revolution.”

“What about it?”

“Anything about it.”

“Well, that shouldn’t be too bad. You know all kinds of stuff about that time period,” she said, still not sure why he thought the assignment was going to be hard.

“It’s awful. How am I supposed to figure out what to write

about? I mean, they write books on the topic. How am I sup-

posed to write something meaningful in five pages?”

“Maybe it doesn’t have to be meaningful,” Candace sug-

gested. “Or maybe you could just pick one thing to write about like a specific battle or one person. You could write about Benjamin Franklin. Of course, I’m not sure that you could use an interview with him in the History Zone as a resource,” she joked.

“It’s not funny,” Kurt said, sounding grumpy.

“Sorry,” Candace said. “I was just trying to cheer you up.”

“You want to cheer me up? Say you’ll write the paper for me.”

“Now who’s joking?” Candace asked with a laugh.

Kurt didn’t smile. He couldn’t possibly be serious, could he?

“So, where are we eating?” she asked quickly.

“Campus cafeteria.”

“That should be fun.”

“Wow! If you think that’s fun, you need to get out more often.”

“It will be fun,” Candace protested. “We’re together.

And besides, who knows if we’ll have any time for dates until November.”

He put his arm around her shoulders, and it made her feel

good.
