CLARK AND HERSHEL sat on the front lawn of the school. Clark was triple-checking his supply list to see that he had all his books, for his first year of college was one to make a first impression, and Clark was a stickler for such manners. Hershel had already completed that studious task, and was now waiting on Clark to finish. He didn't have to wait for very long.
"Done!" Clark sighed as he put the slip of paper away and picked up his things. "I'll see you in class, alright?" Hershel nodded, and Clark strode away. Hershel took three steps and already knocked into someone, who crashed to the ground. He immediately bent over and helped them pick up their things. When he went to hand them over, however, he was met with a pair of the most beautiful green eyes he had ever seen. The girl swept a lock of red hair out of her face. "Oh, I'm so sorry..." She said apologetically. Hershel felt a wave of heat threaten to creep into his face. "Um, er... It's okay..." He stammered. "Thanks." She said as she took her books. "I'm Claire, by the way. Claire Foley." The heat threatening to spill into his cheeks had finally done so. "H-Hershel... Hershel Layton." She smiled, holding out her hand, and he shook it shyly. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Hershel... Oh, by the way, do you think you could help me find this class?" She showed him her schedule. His eyes threatened to widen, but he kept it to himself; I have all the same classes with this beautiful girl? He thought. I'm going to love college... He nodded to show her he could help. "Great, thanks so much. Are you going to that class, too?" He nodded again. She smiled. "Great! I'm sure we'll be great friends, huh, Hershel?" He smiled at the way she'd said his name; softly, sweetly. He repeated his thoughts to himself again.
I'm going to love college...
