KIM CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT MARCUS (A TRUE STORY)

Marcus and Kim were taking the same classes at university. That's it. 

Marcus hung out with his friends all the time. He even had a girlfriend. Angela. Angela wasn't in their classes but Kim saw Angela come over or Marcus go over to her when their classes were done. 

She couldn't stop imagining herself with him. To him, she was just one of his classmates. She had spoken to both Marcus and Angela and somewhere, she felt that Marcus had a sense of humor that Angela just didn't get. 

Agreed, Angela was really pretty. She was stand-out pretty. 

But she was an attention-seeker. Kim knew it. She noticed her tantrums, those pouts she made when she wanted to get her own way, and on and on. Kim couldn't understand how Marcus had ever fallen for her. 

Kim shook her head. Daydreaming about Marcus was taking up too much of her time. She needed to focus.

Kim assembled her books as class got over. She saw Marcus and Angela 7 rows down. Angela was gossiping away in that annoying voice of hers. Marcus's back was faced towards Kim so she couldn't see his expression. But Kim was sure Marcus was having a good time. 

Kim gathered up her books, descended the stairs and left the university classroom.

Marcus quietly watched her go out of the corner of his eyes. Kim was quiet, sharp, and with a sense of humor very similar to his. She never made a show of herself for attention. But she caught his attention every time she walked in or went out. He couldn't help but notice her. And only her.

He shifted his attention back to Angela. He was being unfair to her and to himself. And to Kim. Kim probably didn't even know he existed. 

Based on a true story.

Until next,
