While finishing his lecture, Alex was still feeling flustered from all his daydreaming in class, with his stomach full of butterflies and his heart just constantly feeling like he was either gonna have an Anxiety attack coming or maybe It's his first time ever feeling what could be potential love.
‘What is wrong with me?’ he whispered to himself.
Even falling deep for a random guy was totally bizarre, he only just met the damn guy an hour ago and knowingly full well this is totally out of character even for him is just making him feel a little messed up in the head.
He even knows that this is wrong and that he should just try to focus with the rest of his day in his lectures at university and just listen to music to calm himself down.
While walking down some corridors he finally bumps into his best friend Jessica which they prefer to be called Jess only. As he sees her his face had lit up and he was beginning to feel a bit at ease now that she is around.
‘Hey Bitch! How are we today? I see you still listening to music’. Said Jess enthusiastically smiling.
‘Lets just say before my lecture I bumped into some guy by accident and he was kinda cute but I don’t think he swings my way if you get my drift’. He replied.
’NO WAY!’ She screamed with joy. ‘Who was it? Do you know their name?’
Alex felt a bit shy and was clearly blushing as his face was bright red like a cherry tomato with his cheeks smiling so hard with his head tilt forward.
‘His name is Tyler’ he said with shyness.
Jess was a bit thrown back hoping he just didn’t say her new boyfriends name but then thinking to herself there has got to be more than one Tyler on this campus.
‘That’s odd, I was about to tell you about my new boyfriend who is also called Tyler’. She said with confusion.
They both were looking at each other confused thinking to themselves can it be the same guy or that there was a mistake somewhere, the main problem is if Alex was daydreaming about Jess’s new boyfriend Tyler and not some other guy, what is gonna happen for Alex is he gonna go back to feeling loveless, feeling like there is no hope for him in the world to find his soulmate.
‘That for sure would be awkward’ said Alex laughing.
‘I know right’ said Jess laughing with Alex. ‘Come on, I want you to meet him and tell me if you think he is good for me also, this is a secret between me and you but he has a YouTube channel singing covers and he is very popular on there so don’t be surprised if you have seen one of his videos before okay’.
As they both proceed to go and walk through the corridors, Alex immediately saw Tyler again with all these mixed emotions, first it was a crush and then following along with the disappointment feeling as he knew it was too good to be true, that deep down it was Jess’s new boyfriend and them two looked great together but he was feeling his depression taking over himself slowly and crippling his insides.
‘Hey cutie, how are you’ *smooch* ‘ I wanted to introduce you to my best friend since high school, Alex’ said Jess with excitement.
‘Hi…','’ *breathy* Answered Alex while looking down with embarrassment.
‘Oh yeah Hi Alex we met before, nice to properly meet you’ replied Tyler with his hand out to waiting to shake Alex’s.
As Tyler reaches his hand out towards Alex for him to shake on, Jess realises that this was the same guy Alex was on about and noticed that Alex was feeling shy and awkward and that she could sense he wanted to excuse himself from this situation but she was shocked that Alex was going to actually shake Tyler’s hand, as she can see him reaching his hand to go towards Tyler’s, she could feel the tension between them two and she just couldn’t pinpoint what the feeling was especially between them two.
Tyler on the other hand was feeling a bit nervous while shaking Alex’s hand, he felt something that he has never experienced before in his life, he was feeling a bit smitten towards Alex and feeling so much joy from the touch of his skin, his hand was sweating and he immediately found it embarrassing, but looking into Alex bright blue eyes it was like watching the ocean on the beach and the sparks he felt was pulsing through his body, he was shocked and a bit frozen on whatever he was feeling inside.
Eyes locked on one another, heartbeats racing, sweaty palms, short of breath, what in the world was going on inside of Tyler’s head.
Alex finally released from the handshake awkwardly even though deep down he didn’t want to let go and he thinks neither did Tyler which he found odd, as he was pretty sure he wasn’t exactly gay or was he?
So many questions going round Alex’s head he feels all jumbled up and confused as to why is this happening all of a sudden.
Jess on the other hand was feeling a little taken aback as she could sense the energy in the atmosphere was completely different and she didn’t know what to do, she kinda felt a little jealous towards Alex thinking to herself ‘Does Tyler like Alex?, But that really shouldn’t put things off’.
So, she quickly grabbed Tyler by the arm with a smile and kissed him on the cheek with joy.
Tyler chuckled as he thought what she did was cute, but he realised he didn’t exactly feel that spark the way holding a guys hand did to him, he was totally confused as he was adamant that he was straight.
‘So Alex, you coming out tonight for Freshers Week, it will be fun’ asked Jess with Excitement.
Alex hesitated, ‘Yeah I think i’ll go, would be a nice distraction from my lecture after all but I can’t be out for long, I have a bit of revision to do for a test which I’m not looking forward too’ he replied.
‘Well,I hope to see you there’ Smiled Tyler with his dark eyes darting towards Alex’s gleaming with sparkles.
Alex couldn’t help but blush and he smiled a little but he saw Jess looking a bit pissed off, so he quickly straightened up his face and smiled while nodding.
‘Anyway, I better get back to my dorm i’ll text you when I’m ready Jess’ said Alex.
‘Yeah, okay see you later then’ smiled Jess.
‘It was nice seeing you again Alex’ Tyler said with a smile.
But Alex was already playing his music through his earphones, quickly running away from that awkward interaction, he didn’t hear what Tyler said as he felt so embarrassed from just even being there, he knew music was his only escape option.
While pacing back towards his dorm at Abby mount, he wonders to himself ‘What will happen tonight at Freshers?’ with confusion.
