“ ^Sorry, well hello. ” *Fuck, that was weird, didn ’ t know that could happen. What the fuck happened to my voice? Sounds like I was just hitting on the guy. Just trying to apologise and keep it casual. Why the fuck did you say “ hello ” Vee? Damn, he ’ s tall. Quick Vee, look up at his face. Come on, smile. No, that ’ s weird, slow down on the teeth, and maybe the… fuck it ’ s hot it in here. Ah wait no, that ’ s just you getting red, really red. Come on, come on, think Vee. He ’ s starting to freak out, like really freak out. Laugh. Yeah, that ’ s always good. * 
 
 “ HA HA ” *What the fuck? Seriously, something must be wrong with my voicebox today. Maybe I ’ m getting sick. Now he ’ s really starting he ’ s starting to get red. Damn, I ’ ve made a fucking stranger embarrassed. He ’ s mildly good looking too. Nice eyes, icy blue, like Benedict Cumberbatch. And he smells really good too. * 
 
 “ Mmmmm. ” *Fuck, did you just say that out aloud? This is becoming stupid, I wonder how much time has passed? Are you still looking into his eyes, Vee? Crap, when was the last time you looked away? Great, now he thinks you ’ re some creepy serial killer. Goood one, Vee. Well done, claps for you. Come on Vee, glance around. Ooo, he has a nice dress sense, completely hipster, but totally your type Vee. Nice chinos, nice shoes, cute jumper… nice satchel, carrying books. Sweet, physics textbook. Totally your type Vee. Well done for fucking up. Reckon you can salvage the situation? Well, he hasn ’ t gone anywhere. Maybe he likes you. Bahaha, yeah sure, I ’ m disgusting today, with my cold sore, pimples and bed hair. Fuck, you should have gotten out of bed earlier this morning. Ah fuck it, you need to close this situation off Vee. Come on, just apologise and walk away, plenty of other fish in the sea. Aww, but he* 
 “ Smells nice. ” *Fuck. You really need to watch yourself Vee, this is getting stupid. Why don ’ t you just add that you like eating liver with fava beans and a nice chianti as well? Weird word, chianti. Should watch that movie again. Hey, I never knew there was glitter on the floor, it goes well with the maroon/brown. I wonder if my face could hide in it. Wait, floor. You should be making eye contact again. Damn I hate staring at people ’ s eyes. Feels like he ’ s going to stare into my soul. Not sure what he ’ ll find in there. Hopefully something good, but eh. Concentrate Vee! Come on, he ’ s looking at you weird. Wait, was that a smile? Maybe he ’ s mocking you. Or he has a twitch. Fuck it, he ’ s cute. * 
 
 “ Sorry, I ’ m starving and canteen smells like it ’ s cooking up a storm. Wan na join? ” *Niiice work Vee. Give yourself a pat on the back. You got this. Maybe. Actually probably not. You look disgusting remember? Plus canteen is on the other side of campus. And it ’ s a little early for lunch. Crap, now he ’ s going to think your one of those girls who ’ s obsessed with food and takes fucking photos of everything and then goes onto Instagram and tumblr, all day, errday. I wonder how similar Benedict Cumberbatch and his eyes – wait you don ’ t even know his name? Goood one Vee. * 
 
 “ Haha, I have super-awesome smelling powers. By the way, I ’ m Vee. ” *Hand shake. Ah, no hand shake? Right, awkward hand shake. This is stupid. You ’ re stupid. Why didn ’ t you just leave before Vee? Now you ’ ve dug yourself a hole and embarrassed yourself, in front a mildly good looking, nice smelling, totally your type of guy. Eh, well, he can join a line I suppose. Ah Michael, not a bad name. I like the name Michael, can never spell it right, a-e, or e-a? Thank goodness for autocorrect. Ah wait, we ’ re walking? He ’ s walking, he ’ s following you! Woo, you did it Vee! Celebratory dance inside your head; DON ’ T fucking actually do it in front of him. Michael looks like a nice guy. No need to scar him so early on Vee. I wonder if there ’ s Moroccan food today. Or something stew-y. Lamb would be sooo good. *
