OSCAR DELOITTE WAS leaning against the open door frame of the Kappa Pi house as though he didn’t have a care in the world, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips. He was too preoccupied with looking into the room to notice Alex descending the opulent staircase. As he heard her footsteps approach, he turned in her direction, but his expression gave nothing away. He looked full of nonchalance.

“I’m surprised to see you here,” Alex said as she drew closer to him, hoping that he couldn’t tell that her heart was racing frantically in her chest. She had to keep wiping her sweaty palms against her jeans.

“This place is certainly an ode to excess,” Oscar commented, leaning in slightly to take in the full grandeur of the house. “Pretty much as I expected it to be,” he concluded, shrugging.

“Oscar, why are you here?” Alex demanded, aware that some of her sorority sisters were lingering close by, hoping to be privy to a heated argument they could later gossip about. “Did you stop by just to criticize the house?”

“No,” Oscar answered. “I was hoping that we could talk.” At this point, he lifted his gaze so that his eyes met Alex’s, and an intense moment passed between them. Alex wanted to walk back up the stairs, declaring that she had no time for him, but the magnetism between them locked on to her like a laser beam through his eyes, and she found herself unable to resist going to him, closing the heavy door to Kappa Pi behind them as they stepped outside.

“Okay then, talk,” Alex ordered as she stood on the trimmed lawn, glancing away from Oscar and briefly breaking the spell between them.

“Is there not somewhere a little more... private?” Oscar said.

“Do you have somewhere in mind?” Alex placed her hands on her hips, wanting to seem confident and in control.

“The park?” Oscar raised his shoulders and turned in the direction of the park before Alex even had a chance to respond.

As they walked, Oscar lit the cigarette that he’d been holding in his mouth.

“I shouldn’t even be coming with you to the park,” Alex lamented as they walked.

“Yet here you are,” Oscar said coolly.

“You don’t deserve my time or the opportunity to talk.”

“Wouldn’t you like answers?” Oscar asked her.

“Of course I would, but you’ve ignored me all summer.” Alex was growing agitated.

“Well, wouldn’t you like to know why?”

“That’s why I’m here, Oscar, stupidly following you to the park where you’re probably going to feed me a load of bullshit. Did your new girl dump you or something? Is that why you’ve come crawling back to me?”

“There’s no new girl,” Oscar said.

As Alex grew more infuriated, Oscar remained cool and collected, which only angered her more. She managed to control her anger until they reached the park and sat down beneath a tree in a more secluded area. It was cool, but the sun was out, so there were a couple of students sitting around enjoying the last bit of nice weather of the year.
