Chapter 1: Reconnecting
Jayden was walking to a campus food court when he saw fait, she was unmistakable as he’d always remembered her. He approached her “fait!? Is that you” she turned around and smile to reveal her gorgeous “jayden! It’s been so long” she shrieked. “I did not recognize you, you’ve gotten so tall and dark” she said. He looked at her and grinned “yeah it’s been awhile, you look amazing, I like that hair color on you” she smiled and thanked him. “Wow, you live here now? How’s life at the university of California? they’re not tough on you are they?” he asked her. “Nah not really, I’m used to it now, I moved back from Oklahoma last year” she said. *they exchanged a hug* before giving each other their phone numbers. I have to get to class but talk to you later right?
Jayden said, a playful smirk on his face as he started to walk away.
Fait laughed and called after him, "Yeah, yeah, later." She watched him go, his confident stride and broad shoulders making her feel a flutter in her stomach. She shook her head, trying to clear the sudden thoughts that were not appropriate for her best friend from childhood.
As she made her way towards the library, she couldn't help but think about how Jayden had changed. He was still the same goofy kid she grew up with in Oakland, but now he had this...swagger. This confidence that was infectious. She could feel it just from being near him.
