Study Time

He kept giving me weird looks from across the table since I had sat down fifteen minutes ago. All I wanted was some peace and quiet after class to get my physics homework done. I had thought about getting up and sitting somewhere else but as I looked around I remembered it was the week of midterms so the library was insanely packed. On the 11th time I caught him staring I finally spoke up.

"Can I help you?"

It came out with a lot more malice than even I had intended, and I'm usually known for being pretty rough around the edges. He didn't seem taken aback by my abrasiveness though, in fact he spoke up and said, "You uh, have a few leaves in your hair."

I could immediately feel my face heating up and becoming red from embarrassment, my hands flew into my hair and sure enough, they pulled out two leaves. I knew it was windy out but damn. Now I was irritated and embarrassed, however I tried to suppress my anger and managed a small smile and said thanks, to which he surprisingly returned with a bright smile and small nod with his oversized head. This was the first time I had gotten to really look at him in the 20 minutes we've been sitting across from each other and although his head was a little bigger than average, he was really good-looking. He had chestnut colored hair in a messy run-your-hands-through type of style and the most piercing blue eyes I've ever seen. Before I even knew what I was doing, I was reaching out my hand to introduce myself.

"I'm Cindy", is what my brain decided to spit out, it came out kind of squeaky. I felt like some teenage idiot who couldn't control their hormones, not at all how I would've liked to present myself. He immediately grabbed my hand and shook it while saying, "Jimmy". I smiled and nodded and went back to looking down at my physics book to try and conceal my blush. When he noticed what I was studying, he spoke up, "Physics, huh? Is that your major?". I replied with a shake of my head and said, "I love science, but I'm a math nerd at heart, this is my third year as a math major." I could tell he was impressed, after all blondes aren't typically known for being bright; however I am the exception to that stereotype.

"Yeah math is cool, although I think you're missing out." I didn't even realize he spoke for a second; I was so lost looking at his face that I gave him a puzzled look which led him to continue with, "I'm a big science nerd, in fact I'm a genius, this is my third year here but I already have a degree in chemistry and a degree in biology." I immediately rolled my eyes, what a show off I thought, he's good looking and smart though damn, ugh get it together Vortex. He must've seen my eye roll because he said, "What, you don't believe me?" I couldn't look away from his eyes, they had such a fire in them that I've never seen in anyone else. I didn't want to give away my true nervousness he created within me, so with some attitude I responded, "Oh I believe you, with a big head like that I'm sure you've got a big brain and big ego to match." Surprisingly, that statement awarded me a bright smile.

I felt my phone vibrate for the fourth time in twenty minutes; I knew it had to be Libby calling to ask me when I'd be back to our apartment. After growing up together for so many years, it was only natural that we would go to the same college and live together. Holy shit is that the time, I need to get home. The handsome genius watched me as I quickly type away on my phone and asked me if I had to leave, I was so concerned with packing up my notebooks and texting Libby back that I didn't notice he was doing the same. In fact, everyone in the library was putting their stuff away.

"You live close by? I'd be happy to walk you home since it's getting late."

It was actually really sweet of him to offer, but I am a black belt, I can take care of myself. However, he is super cute, what's the worst that could happen?

"Yeah actually that would be great thanks. I have an apartment right off Baldwin, what about you?" This time I really couldn't hide my blush as he opened the library door for me and we walked through to the chilly evening air.

"Oh what a coincidence, I'm two blocks down on Smyth!" He said with a big smile, man he had a nice smile, ugh Vortex what is he doing to you. As we approached my apartment,
I found myself trying to walk a little closer and feel a little sad that the walk back home was so short-lived. Sure enough though, he made me blush yet again by asking for my phone number when we got to my door.

"So, will you be going to the library again tomorrow?" He asked with just a slight hint of nervousness.

"I might stop by, I'm hoping to run into someone there, a genius actually." I was never the best at flirting but I was hoping it was getting the job done, by look on his face, I could tell it was.

"A genius, really? What a coincidence, I'm a genius too, you know. I'm actually planning on stopping by the library tomorrow too if you want to meet up beforehand and maybe get something to eat?" Okay now I really was sure that my face was bright red, I was blushing so bad.

"Yeah, I'd really like that, it's a good thing you have my phone number. I have to get inside, but it was great meeting you Jimmy, hopefully I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and headed inside. I looked out the window and saw him lightly touch his cheek and a smile reached from ear to ear across his face as I saw him walk away.

Man did I have some gossip for Libby…

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it! I originally intended this to be a one-shot, but who knows, I might continue it :)
