Opposites Attract

After another class, she wants to speak to one of the professors. He is speaking to the professor. She starts looking at him. She notices that he has an old man butt. Why is she looking at his butt? She begins to really look at him for him. He is so not her type, but yet she finds that she is attracted to him. She has no clue why. Everything about him is completely different than what she is usually attracted to. He dresses like Mr. Rogers, yet it does not bother her. He is not athletic, he not tall, so why him. She sees a friend of his and she asks him whether he is going to the morning makeup class. He says he isn’t. She tells him she was planning on going if the guy would stop talking. She says it loud enough so he had to hear it. The friend laughs and leaves. The guy keeps talking and she keeps looking him up and down. Eventually he finishes. As he passes her he looks partially down at the ground and quietly says to her “good luck with your paper.” She is surprised that he spoke and wonders why this guy who is hardly shy is so shy around her. She decides to respond. She asks him if he going to the morning makeup class he says he is. She hands him her laptop and asks him to take it to the class. He takes the laptop. He then looks at it and her and then says that he is going to the bathroom. She looks at him, disappointed that he was thrown the ball and fumbled or completely missed it. He then says that he is going to the bathroom and begins to hand back the laptop. She feels rejected, but tries to make light of it. She tells him that that if the men’s bathroom is as bad as the women’s then that is okay. She takes her laptop back. He begins to walk off. She watches as he slowly walks to the bathroom. He looks around like little boy lost.
