chills. I gave her a wink. I knew I had the biggest smile on my face.
    “How y’all doing tonight? I’m Evan and I’m a law student at NYU, I know some of you already know me from singing here weekly. This song is dedicated to a new friend. We have only known each other a few days. But she is a great person.”
    I started singing the lyrics of “Find Yourself” by Brad Paisley. As I sang I looked out in the crowd, Lila had never taken her eyes off of me. I noticed a slight tear roll down her face, I hope she wasn’t sad. I smiled and winked at her again and I could see the joy in her smile as she wiped the tear away. Once I finished singing, I had to go see Lila.
    “Evan, that was great, you have an amazing voice.” Lila said as she leaned in for a quick hug. I smiled as I placed my hand in the small of her back and walked her to a nearby table.
    “Thank you sweetheart, I love to sing. I was worried you wouldn’t like it. I’m glad you did. Let’s grab a drink before it gets late.” I said and she nodded her head.
    Classes are starting tomorrow and I wouldn’t want her to have a hangover. So I ordered us both a beer.
    “Lila, when I was singing, I thought I seen a tear roll down your cheek? If you don’t want to explain, you don’t have too.
    “Ahh, you seen that did you? Well the lyrics touched my heart and to have you singing directly to me. It was all happy tears, Evan. I’m really glad we met. As much as I would like to sit here and talk all night, I’m not a morning person so I better be going. Thank you for everything! I enjoyed your performance.”
    “Thanks darlin’, I really wish we could sit here all night also. I have an early morning class then work. I work at the law firm around the corner from campus. Will I see you tomorrow?” I prayed to God she would say yes.
    “I’m sure we will be seeing a lot of each other.” She said with a wink, flashing those dimples. I walked her to her car, and noticed Nikki was with Brody dancing. He hadn’t come home all weekend.
    Nikki and Lila seem like two opposites. Lila seems more reserved and shy, and Nikki is loud and not shy at all. I got in my car and went home myself. As I lay in bed all I could think about was Lila. I had taken a picture of us in the park and I laid there staring at it.
     

     
    Walking through the campus yard, I prayed I would see Lila today and hoped I would have a couple classes with her. I walked in the door and there she stood. She was wearing a white sweater, with black leggings and a pair of boots with fur around the top. Her long blonde hair laid in ringlets down her back.
    The closer I got to where she was standing I could feel my stomach doing flips. She walked in the class and sure enough it was my class also. Hell yeah! I thought to myself. I walked in and took the seat right next to her. Damn, she looked even prettier today. I’d known this girl less than a week and she has my heart, and the bulge in my pants, doing jumping jacks.
    “Well good morning sweetheart, it is good to see you first thing in the morning. This is going to be a great day,” I said with a wink.
    “Good morning Evan, I hoped I would see you today also. I have heard this class is really hard and the professor is well umm…a prick!”
    “You have heard correctly, dear.” I said with a laugh. He was a prick, I had him in another class last year. He is very strict. When I saw him on my schedule this year I cringed. He handed us or syllabuses and said that where we are sitting would be our assigned seats for the semester.
    After class, Lila and I walked out together. We were laughing and talking, then boom, Alyssa pops around the fucking corner. I knew she was going to ruin this for me.
    “Hey Evan, who is your friend?” said Alyssa as she rolled her eyes and dragged out the word friend. Fuck I guess I need to introduce them.
    “Lila, this is my ex, Alyssa.”
    “Alyssa, this is my friend, Lila.” I said and notice Lila reach her hand
