Crimson and Clover

Scarlet Blakhopper exhaled. First days always made her nervous. She entered her first, cautiously enough. A boy in a toque smiled at her. She found out his name was Adam. Adam Torres. She laughed, despite herself, noting her didn't look a bit Mexican. She didn't look like she was from Arizona either. The first few conversations were ok, but she could feel a small crush developing. She started walking. Not paying attention either. And rammed right into someone. Everything fell out of her hands.

"I'm sorry!" She said, bending down to retrieve the lost books. She reached for her writing notebook. He reached for it at the same time and their hands touched. She pulled her hand back and let him be a gentleman.

"You're a writer, huh?" He asked. She nodded and took it back. Once again, their hands touched and she felt a chill. She looked into his eyes. She envisioned a crazy make out session, sex, babies. She shook her head. He smiled.
