“I’m so nervous about this quiz,” Sidney, the student on my right, confesses. “I studied all night but I’m not sure it sank in.”

I offer her a smile. “You’re gonna do fine. You already know this material inside and out. Every time the prof calls on you, you have an answer.”

Sidney is thirty, returning to college after more than a decade-long break. She got pregnant as a freshman at eighteen and then married shortly thereafter, but now that her son’s in middle school and she’s freshly divorced, she’s finally able to pursue her dreams.

I’m a bit surprised she and I have clicked the way we have, given the vast differences in our lives, but she’s so open and sweet that it’s hard not to like her. From the first day of class, she’s been someone I enjoy seeing on campus. Always has a friendly wave when she spots me out and about.

Sidney shrugs, but I can tell my compliments warm her. The tiny crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes crinkle. “Oh, you. Thanks for the ego boost.”

Our economics prof strolls in, his salt-and-pepper hair coiffed to perfection, his shirt freshly pressed and gray dress pants creased down the fronts. Professor McDoogle is nothing if not dapper, and I’ve seen the way Sidney checks him out when she thinks I’m not looking. Can’t blame her—he’s a good-looking older gentleman. “Who’s ready for the quiz?” There are a few quiet groans scattered in the room, and he laughs at us. “Come on, get it done early so you can enjoy the rest of your Friday.”

“Easy for him to say,” I mutter, earning a soft chuckle from Sidney. “He already finished all his schooling, and his job is to torture us now.” It’s actually not that bad of a class though. And after each class session, I head right to work, where I’ll sit at my desk and try not to think about Dane all day.

The quiz isn’t terrible; at least, I don’t feel like I’ve bombed it. I’m glad I spent last night studying—having this to focus on helped me not dissect yesterday’s scandals, gave me a reason to shake off my emotions and crawl outside of my own head. Hard to believe that school is working as a distraction from my pathetic life.

We finish the quiz, and McDoogle dismisses us, telling us we’ll have them back on Monday. Sidney and I slip out of the building and step onto the frozen crunchy grass, sunshine pouring through thin smudges of gray clouds. The business administration department is located on the fringe of campus, just a mile or so from the water.

“Want to grab a coffee?” Sidney says. “We can go over our answers.”

Tempting.

“I would, but I need to hustle to work,” I tell her with a regretful smile. “Maybe we can try to get together some evening, when we have enough free time to really hang out.”

“I’d like that a lot,” she says softly. “I don’t really socialize much.”

“Me either,” I admit.
