Sydneys POV
I was sitting in class physically but my mind was somewhere else.
To be exact, all I could think about was Adrian.
I realized that I was smiling, when I remembered his hug.
His scent was still fresh in my mind and I had to admit, that his scent had been amazing. The mixture of his cologne and the scent of himself was nearly as good as he was looking.
Besides his scent, I remembered another thing.
In the brief moment, that he´d hugged me, it had been like I had remembered something, that I had somehow forgotten. I couldn´t exactly tell what it was, it had only been a feeling. A warm, comfortable and soothing feeling.
I knew how strange that sounded, but it was the best I could come up with to explain it
Now I was sitting in class, a class I normally would have enjoyed as much as I did all classes, but this time I wished I´d fought against my eagerness of knowledge.
I really wanted to see him again.
I figuratively felt my phone with his number burning in my pocket. What was I supposed to do?
As much as I wanted to text him immediately, I didn´t really know what to say.
I was no expert at this matter. To be honest, I had no experience at all.
Would I seem needy and desperate if I would text him today or even tomorrow?
And if I did wait, would he still be interested in me or still in New York?
Was he even interested in my in the first place?
He´d said, that I was adorable, but with his looks, he probably did have a lot of experience with girls and I didn´t want to put to much meaning into his words.
I rubbed my head. There were just to many questions I had no answer to.
I was still trying to organize my thoughts, when everybody around me began to gather their things and leave the room.
I´d been so lost in my own thoughts, that I hadn´t noticed, that the class was over.
I began to put my things back in my bag and was about to leave the room, too, when someone called my name.
I turned around and saw Katie calling for me from the other side of the room. I smiled at her and waited until she managed to snake through the students.
"Hey Katie" I said.
It was nice to know someone on campus. Well more precisely, to know someone in New York.
Normally I wasn´t an outgoing person and it was only my first week at college respectively in New York and besides Adrian, Katie was the first person I really did talk to.
"Hey. I didn´t see you before" she said with a smile.
"Yes, I was late... again" I said.
"Did you get lost?" Katie asked "happened to me, more times than I´m willing to admit" she went on with a laugh.
I laughed. I liked the way she seemed to be easy to talk with.
"No, I just kind of was on the other side of the city" I said.
"Oh I see. What did you do?" she asked.
I was thinking about weather or not I should tell her about Adrian and decided that I would tell her.
"I was at that italian art exhibition... with a guy" I said.
"Uhhh" Katie said with big eyes "Who is he? Your boyfriend?" she asked.
"No" I said "To be honest, I barley know him. We met yesterday in front of the library and than again today at Starbucks and he just asked me to spent the day with him" I said.
"So it was kind of your first date?" Katie asked.
I was thinking about that for a moment. Was it?
"No, it wasn´t really a date. We didn´t plan to meet at Starbucks, he just happened to be there when I was and somehow we went to that exhibition together" I explained.
"And he asked you to go with him?" Katie asked.
"Yea, he kind of did" I said and I smiled.
Katie smiled at me, too "So is he cute?" she asked.
"More than cute" I said shyly "He´s drop-dead gorgeous" I said blushing a little.
Katie smacked her hands together and her smile grew bigger.
"Are you seeing him again?" she asked.
I sighed.
"See, that´s the thing. He gave me his number, well I asked for it... and he gave it to me... that doesn´t matter..." I realized that I was starting to ramble and started again "I have his number and I was to stupid to give him mine and now I´m not sure how to proceed" I said looking at her helpless.
"You text him of course" Katie said without thinking about it.
"You think so? I don´t want to seem desperate and what if he isn´t interested in me?" I asked.
Katie gave me an isn´t-that-obvious-look.
"Hello?! He asked you to spent the day with him and he did give you his number" she said.
I smiled "Yes he did" I said.
I was now even more thankful than before to have met Katie.
We walked across the campus and were on our way to the subway.
"So when do I text him?" I asked. God, Katie must think I´m a complete social dork.
But when she spoke, she didn´t seem to think that at all.
"Yea I know what you mean. On the one hand you don´t want to keep him waiting respectively you don´t want him to realign or think that you aren´t interested but on the other hand you don´t want him to think, that he´s the center of your world"
"Exactly" I said nodding in agreement.
This girl talk really did start to grow on me.
"You like him, right?" Katie asked.
"Yes... I think I do" I said and against my will I started to smile once again.
God, I didn´t know myself like this. Normally I was thinking rationally and I could orient myself on rules or what not. Here I was absolutely clueless.
"Than text him tomorrow" Katie said.
I nodded.
My stop was coming up and I got ready to get of the subway.
"Thanks Katie" I said.
"Anytime" she said smiling at me "What´s his name?" she asked.
"Adrian" I said when the door opened.
"Good luck and see you soon" Katie said.
"Thanks Katie. Bye, see you soon" I replied and I jumped out the door only a second before it closed again.
Katie waved at me when the train left and I gave her a smile.
I never had thought, that I would be so happy to have someone to talk boys with.
But here I was.
I walked the few minutes from the subway to my flat thinking about how much had changed since I´d moved to New York.
I was going to college, I lived in New York City, I`d made a friend and yes, for the first time in my 18 year old live, I really was interested in a guy
