After Mac dropped me off last night, Sierra and I lounged around the house, getting things ready for my first day of classes tomorrow. I talked about how I was so excited to finally start, but also nervous. Sierra said the campus is huge, so don’t get overwhelmed.

My seat in my English Literature class is the perfect one. I stay in between the classroom full of students, blending into the crowd like a shadow amongst them. Everyone speaks around me, but no one notices me. The professor talks about Shakespeare and I can’t help my mind wandering back to the creek yesterday. Mac holding me, like he does all the time now, felt good. He’s such a caring and kind man underneath his hard exterior. For someone covered in tattoos, and muscles which scare the crap out of little kids, you’d expect he would be as hard as he looks. Instead, he’s compassionate.

Sierra told me he’s never like that with any of the women he sleeps with, so I must be special. I shrugged off her suggestion. I can’t think of being with him that way. I don’t want to think about being with anyone. We obviously have a connection, but I’m not ready to give myself to someone emotionally again.

Since Derrick’s accident, I’m too afraid to get close to anyone. I’m afraid of losing them, too. I don’t think I’ll be able to come back from it next time. I didn’t really come back from it this time, but at least I’m living my life instead of walking around like a zombie.

“Excuse me, but do you have an extra pen?”

I’m saved from my thoughts when I see a handsome guy, maybe in his twenties, leaning over the empty seat between us. I nod my head, fishing around my bag for an extra one. Handing it to him, he flashes me his beautiful white teeth.

“Thanks. I’m Chase, and you are?” He tips his head to the side.

“Callie,” I reply to him, looking him over.

Brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, not too skinny, but not muscular like Mac. He’s attractive, but in a clean cut sort of way. He seems like he has money from the way he’s dressed, wearing a polo shirt and light colored ripped jeans.

“That’s a perfect name for someone as beautiful as you, Callie.” He raises his eyebrows a little.

I don’t want to be rude to him, but the last thing I want is to hear pick up lines while I’m trying to make it through my first day of classes. He may think he’s smooth, but he’s not. I know his game already. Been there, done that, heard it all a thousand times.

“Thank you,” I mumble.

“You should come to my buddy’s house this weekend. He’s throwing a little Welcome Bash. It should be pretty awesome. Beer, music, you know. It's gonna be a rippah.”

I sigh quietly before letting him down.

“Sorry. I’m not a real fan of house parties.”

He lets out a soft laugh before continuing to pitch me his idea.
