I can't believe it' Tasha thought to herself. She stood in front of the college library on the University of Maryland's campus. It was a hot late summer's afternoon. She finished classes for the afternoon. She was so impressed with herself today because her college crush said he would meet her for a late afternoon movie, once he was done with all his classes. Ever since her freshman year of college she had this crush on this guy and all it took was a whole year for her to muster up some courage just to say hello. This time he approached her in the morning and asked if she would like to meet him for a movie. She fumbled over her thoughts and closed her eyes, smiled and took a deep breath and said "sure".

I would not be surprised if the two of you will be in the theater by yourselves." Then there was some laughter over the phone. "Oh I get it. Whose idea was it to see this movie?"
