Chance Encounters
Chapter 2
A month later:
Amu walked through the door into the cafeteria on her first day of classes, right into someone who was leaving the cafeteria. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you," Amu said freaking out.
"Whatever, kid," a voice that Amu recognized vaguely answered her. Amu looked up and came face to chest with a very toned young man who was dressed in black jeans and a white tee- shirt.
"Have we met?"
The boy grinned down at Amu as he answered, "Is that some kind of pick up line?"
"Ewww! No, I just thought that I had met you before is all," Amu screeched as she gazed into two mesmerizing indigo eyes that were twinkling with mischief.

A Few Hours Later:
Who would have thought that being a senior in college would mean that my course load would be even larger than my other years in school? Ikuto thought as he walked into the locker-room to change into his swim trunks to make a few laps in the pool before turning in.
When he had finished changing he walked into the room where the pool was and found that he was not the only one that had thought that swimming is a great way to relieve tension. In the water was a young woman doing laps. As he watched he saw her climb out of the water, and he saw that she wore a one piece swim suit that was black in color. "Yo," he called to the girl. When she turned toward the sound of his voice he saw that it was the same girl who had bumped into him on his way out of the cafeteria.
"What," she asked recognizing him immediately, and going on the defensive.
"What's your name Strawberry?" Ikuto asked the pink haired girl.
"My name is Amu, not that it is any of your business," and with that the girl started to march out of the room when she started to sway and tip forward. Before Ikuto even thought his body acted, and he caught the young woman who came to around a moment later. "What happened?"
"You blacked out for some reason are you alright Amu?"
"I ummmm… skipped dinner," Amu said sheepishly, avoiding the boy's eyes, she still didn't know his name.
Noticing Amu's avoidance of his gaze he looked closer at her, "You're hypoglycemic aren't you Amu?"
"A – Ummm… Yes, but how did you know that?"
"Because I had to take Intro to medicine in order to treat students in the case that something happens when I start teaching music."
"Oh!" Amu looked at him again, and then she became intensely aware of his bare chest. "I'm sorry, but I don't know your name," she said as she managed to get out of his arms and onto the floor.
"Ikuto, my name is Ikuto."
