Kyle Rhodes showed up for the first time at Boston College feeling a bit blue. He wasn't sure he was going to like it here. The six-foot-eight, 270-pound African-American football player from Oklahoma wasn't too sure about Boston and its trendy, urban scene. He had won himself an athletic scholarship to that school and intended to earn his keep. Still, the big city was a bit overwhelming for the farm guy. He grew up on a farm, with three older sisters and one older brother. He was the first in the family to attend a major educational institution. His sisters had degrees from junior colleges and worked in town. Although they were quite bright, they lacked the funds to continue their education. His older brother went to city college for a couple years and then became a cop.
Elsewhere on campus, another small-town person was finding themselves quite caught up in the city scene. This person was none other than Stacy Keller. The six-foot-six, 230-pound, blonde-haired, green-eyed, chubby but pretty basketball player from a small Texan town was finding herself quite bothered by the city. When she first arrived, people were gawking at her due to her size and height. This was something she had grown used to. Stacy Keller was a large woman. She had been big and tall throughout her life. Nothing could change that. So, she accepted it and put it to good use. She played basketball and became a hometown legend around the state of Texas.
The sheer size of Boston overwhelmed the Texan gal. She had never seen so many people in one place. Boston College boasted of over fourteen thousand students. To say that Stacy Keller was in awe of it all would have been an understatement. She was trying to get to Orientation and kept bumping into lots of people. She asked them for directions but these urban guys and gals weren't very friendly. A couple of them even called her some nasty names. When she turned around, ready to pound some sense into whoever disrespected her name, they were gone. Instead she bumped into someone. Immediately, her country gal's manners urged her to apologize. And she gasped! Before her stood the tallest man she had ever seen. Taller than even her! He looked at her, smiled, and said hello. Stacy Keller looked at the tall, handsome African-American stranger and said hello. With a big friendly grin, he extended his hand. She shook it, after a brief hesitation. Introductions were definitely in order!
And that's how it all began. Kyle Rhodes and Stacy Keller took one look at each other, and it was love at first sight. In that one moment, they had forgotten about the world around them. They were in awe of each other. The good-looking football stud and the gorgeous female basketball player. After introducing themselves, they began walking through campus. Around them, people gawked. Doubtless, they were the tallest couple in the city. What a sight they were! Tall and fabulous, athletic and beautiful. Like a pair of Titans striding through a world of mortals. People looked at them and smiled. They were something else. Something rare and wonderful, rarely seen. And you know what, for once, the people were right!
Kyle and Stacy hung out on campus. Oh, they were a sight for sore eyes. Kyle had decided to major in Criminal Justice. He played football and led the Boston College football team to many soaring victories. Football teams from around New England learned to fear the amazing running back who seemed to be everywhere at once. He had strength, speed and technique. In many ways, he was flawless. The most dominant athlete on the field. And he was only eighteen years old! His best pal Stacy Keller came to all of his games. She was very supportive of the man she loved! When she wasn't leading the Boston College women's basketball team against teams all over New England, she was with Kyle. Always at his side.
