It was Francine's first time away from home she was happy to be away from her parents and to start her new journey called college life. She looked outside and noticed that the leaves on the trees were changing colors. In a few weeks the leaves would become purple, orange, and yellow and these same leaves would fall to the ground. Yesterday, was her eighteenth birthday and now she was an adult but something was missing she did not feel like an adult. She has not been exposed to anything. Her parents never allowed her to date while she was in high school and of course she could not have a boyfriend.
Now, that she was eighteen and on her own away from home she was going to enjoy college life to its fullest. Yes, the parties, the sororities and the boys. Whoa! Just the thought of it made her head spin.
Francine was a petite curvaceous African-American female with chestnut brown hair down to her shoulders and big honey brown eyes. She had a dimple on her cheek. As she continued to look outside her dorm window she noticed a tall, dark, handsome, basketball player as he jogged down the road. She noticed his tanned legs and wondered whether he was off to the gym to work out or if he was late for class. She looked at her class schedule and noticed she had a biology class in fifteen minutes. So, she grabbed her book bag and a jacket and ran downstairs to the roadway. Even though, she had spent the summer on campus she sometimes had a hard time finding the right room number in the right building for the class she had to attend. She made it through the door just in time to collide into the basketball player she saw just a few minutes ago. Their eyes met and so did their heads not to mention their books. Everything, notebook papers, pencils, pens, textbooks, everything was scattered across the floor.
"Hi, I am Francine." She extended her hand to the stranger.
"Just call me clumsy Vincent."
"Well, that is a strange name."
" Yeah, I am good with the basketball but clumsy in every other way."
" Well we better have a seat before the professor gets upset."
They both sat down and listened to a sixty minute lecture on dominant and recessive genes.
"Boy, I am glad that this lecture is over." A red head with large red glasses said.
" You telling me, I know this is going to be a long semester." A blonde female replied.
"Francine!"
"Wait up!!!"
Francine turned around to see the tall basketball player.
