Panic at the Disco

******************Now Back to the Law School Story ***********************



The following week they have a study session. She goes to that study session and sits in the back row. She passes him. She says hello to his friend as always, but does not have anything to say to the guy. She chats back and forth with some of her classmates. Every once in a while as she is speaking to someone he leans back, looks behind the other people seated in the row and looks at her. She does not blink. She keeps chatting and does not pay him any attention. He glances at her a few more times. After the session is over, those in attendance go to pick-up their corrected practice problems and outlines. She does not see hers. He is in front of her looking for his. He picks his up and starts talking to himself about the comments that were made by the TA’s and how he did not do well. She tells him to stop panicking you are always panicking. He does not say anything. She probably was too harsh.

She sends the guy an e-mail about an upcoming event on campus where a representative from the organization he is interested in working for the summer will be in attendance. She tells him that he should attend. She attends, but he does not. She is disappointed that he decided not to attend. She still speaks to the person about him and gets a card from her to give to him.

So she is laughing and chatting with the male classmate. The male classmate turns around and they are laughing and places in arm on her shoulders just as the guy is walking by. She is just turning her head laughing out loud when her eyes land on him. He sees them and stiffens and walks toward the door to leave. She nods her head and the classmate turns around. She tells him that is him. He does not get a good look at him. They laugh, but she wonders if the guy thinks that she is with her male classmate, since he has seen them together other times.

She has gotten to the point where she is able to distinguish his voice from everyone else. They keep passing each other in the hall or one of them ends up walking behind the other. They are not speaking to each other.
