"So you and Langdon right", Ben said when we were outside to grab some food. "There is nothing going on between us, we are just friends", Nina said. "Uhu, boys and girls can't be friends, they always turn out to be more", Ben said. "Like you and Valery", Nina said. "I am gay all right", Ben said. "Oh... I didn't knew that", Nina said. "No, you didn't? Was my bag not a give away for you", Ben said. "No, boys can have bags", Nina said. "True, but well, we've established that our new friend does not have any problems with gay man", Ben said. "Why would I", Nina said surprised. "There are a lot of people still, who don't like the idea of a gay man on Harvard", Ben said. "Rubbish", Nina said. "No true words", Valery said.

"They don't know what they are saying or where they are in life, it is the freaking 21th century. Can't people think", Nina said. "What are you going to do this weekend?", Valery said. "Well, my parents asked me to come home this weekend, they want to catch up with me, but your welcome to join, both of you. She always says that it is okay for me to bring friends", Nina said. "Oh, nice we would love to, are you going to ask professor Langdon as well, to have some alone time with him", Valery said with a wink.

"With you two as company, no I won't ask him with me, I ask him with me when we are alone, so he can be re-introduced with my parents, I'm sure they remember him", Nina said. Valery shorted the story to Ben about how the professor and Nina knew each other.

"Oh my, I thought I knew everything, you are getting more interesting with the second girl", Ben said. We were sitting at a small table with our food when Nina saw Langdon with a coffee in his hand. "He is so cute and all", Ben teased. "Shut up Ben", Nina said laughing. Langdon didn't even saw them. "Wait, I have to give him something before I forget", Nina said.

That morning she grabbed the photo that she knew Robert liked. "Robert, wait!", she said. "Hey, I saw you sitting with your friends, I didn't wanted to disturb you", Langdon said. "Robert, what did I told you last night, you are my friend too", Nina said and she softly grabbed his hand and put the picture in from the two of them. "For you, I want you to have it", Nina said. "Are you sure", Langdon asked. "I'm sure, do I see you after school?", Nina said. "Yes you see me after school, thank you for the picture Nina", Langdon said.

"What did you gave him, did you saw that, he smiled again at you", Valery said. "I gave him a picture from the two of us, when we were little", Nina explained. "Romantic", Ben sighted. "Why", Nina said. "Now he can stare at you all day", Ben said. Nina rolled with her eyes.

"Oh, uh. Nina, I think you need to see this", Ben said when he picked up the school paper. Valery was reading out loud.

"NEW GIRL AT HARVARD NINA HEART, COZY WITH PROFESSOR LANGDON"

"We all know professor Langdon is single and he has a good heart. We might think that there is something going on between him and miss Heart".
"Last night the two of them arrived at campus, they exchanged a kiss on the cheek. Would this finally be the first romance story Harvard is waiting on".
"We only make assumptions right now, perhaps there is nothing going on, good thing here is that it isn't forbidden in this country to date your professor".
"Credibility is a thing we are concerned about for other teachers, but in this case it is professor Langdon, whom had done great services for the Italian government a while ago".
"So, if the government allows. Why can't we. It would be refreshing if our beloved professor finally finds someone".

"Who the hell wrote this!", Nina said shocked. "Exchanged a kiss on the cheek, that person must have been close to see us last night. Oh God. Now I will be the student who is cozy with the professor and they are talking about his credibility, but what about mine", Nina said. "Relax, it is just the school paper, not international paper", Ben said. "My second day at Harvard, I'm already making a mess out of it", Nina said. She got up and ran out with the paper.

"That went well Ben, you see how freaked she is, nice plan", Valery said. "This is not really the paper from school okay, I made a false copy of it and just added my own page, not that she will know", Ben sighted. "You have to tell her that it was a joke, otherwise she will ran straight to professor Langdon, if she isn't already there", Valery said.

Ben ran towards professor Langdons room. He hoped that he was the only one that found a short cut and that he would meet Nina half way. It was just thing to bring them together, not to scare the crap out of her.

"Nina wait", Ben said and he saw her. "Ben, this day is already bad enough", Nina said. "No, I can explain, this is the real paper and this is the fake. I planted that piece in the fake paper, it was meant for a plan to bring you and Langdon closer so you don't have to hide, but it turned out to shock you", Ben explained.

"Ben, this wasn't funny. I was this close to go to him and after that to the boss of this school", Nina said. "I know that now, I'm sorry, I did it because of good intentions, do you forgive me", Ben said. "I forgive you, but never do that again, I know you and Val want me and Langdon together, but that is going to take a while, or is maybe not even happening at all. You two have to accept that", Nina said. "I do accept that, I'm sorry", Ben said. "It's okay", Nina said.

That was just in time that Ben came to apologize before things escalated. Lucky for both Nina and Langdon.
