.ButI d never fallen into the category of some guys.I rolled up to the curb outside her dorm ten minutes early,having no problem with parking in the fire lane.If a man trying toconvince the woman he was falling for to join the free fall wasn tconsidered an emergency, I didn t know what was.I grabbed the bouquet and the shiny silver box and walked-slash-jogged up the walkway to her dorm.My stomach felt like a family of angry chimpanzees were tearing it apart from the insideout.My palms were wet, long surpassing the clammy stage.I wasjittery, anxious, expectant, and about ready to burst from thecacophony of emotions eating me from the inside out.Basically, Ifelt like a virgin on prom night.Walking down the hotel hall.This was crazy.This girl, in barely one week s time, hadmanaged to take the smooth out of my game, the gusto out of mysail, the confidence out of my stride.She d rendered my bravadouseless at exactly the time I needed it.The one time for decadespast that I d needed to show up with every last soldier in my firingsquad, I d shown up to the front lines with a pubescent drummerboy.Attempting to put a lid on the negative self talk, I reached forthe door handle, ready to launch myself inside with all the smooth,suffocating swagger of which I knew I was capable.My fingershadn t even wrapped around the handle when the door thrust open, slowing only after it collided with my face.I was pretty surethe sound I emitted sounded anything but smooth.Or manly. Patrick? a familiar, sweetest sound I d ever heard after beingslammed in the face, voice shrieked. Oh my goodness gracious.Are you all right? She squeezed up against me, running her handsover my face, knowing something should be broken or gushing.Other than my ego, everything was just as intact as it had been twoseconds ago. I m fine, I m fine, I reassured her, taking a step back andsmiling with exaggeration so she could see we didn t need to spendour first date in the waiting room of minor emergency. However, ifyou promise to run your hands all over me like a nun who s fallenoff the wagon every time I get hurt, I ll be faceplanting into everydoor I pass. Her lines of concern drew tighter into an expression of amusedaccusation.A girl had never looked so beautiful while giving me a accusation.A girl had never looked so beautiful while giving me apointed look.And pointed, next to swooning, was the majority oflooks the female masses sent my way. You re early, she said at last.I could have lied as to why, but I didn t. I couldn t wait, Ianswered, shrugging. And unless you were running away from Ty, you re early too. Shrugging, she mimicked my expression. I couldn t wait. Yeah, I m pretty sure that bang I just heard was my heart hittingthe floor. I wasn t sure if you were going to show.Especially sincethe warmest interaction I had with you this week was the coldshoulder, I said in a teasing tone, although I wasn t really.Ty made it to class Wednesday and Friday and, with hispresence, caused Emma s absence.She was there physically, butnot in spirit, I guess you could say.She hadn t said a word to me,nor replied to any of my best attempts at making conversation.Infact, she hadn t even acknowledged me.It was a dark form of fact, she hadn t even acknowledged me.It was a dark form oftorture.I wanted to ask her if this shell of Emma had been createdbecause of something I d done or because of something Ty haddone, but since she wouldn t even spare a sideways glance myway, I lulled myself to sleep analyzing the hell out of that puzzle.But here she was, smiling at me like I was one of her favoritepeople on the planet. Yeah, about that, she said, her eyes drifting to the side. I msorry I ignored you all week.It s not that I wanted to, but Ty she caught herself, but I didn t need her to elaborate.The questionmark that was Ty was a one word answer. It s just that.it s,it s.it s complicated, she finished, looking like she d just had amolar removed without Novacain
