It's sort of funny the way secret desires have a way of eventually bleeding into reality. I'd been dating John on and off for six weeks and already the relationship was going stale. I suppose it didn't help that we were overwhelmed with final exams and still desperate to figure out what the hell we wanted to do with our lives. Somehow in that mess of hormones, stress, anxiety, and constant testing we were supposed to fit in an ordinary relationship that would one day lead to a picket fence and happily ever after.

Except that I wasn't sure I wanted all of that and if I did, it was still so far off in the future that I wasn't about to sacrifice my desires for the sake of a dull and boring relationship with my supposed Mr. Right who was currently behaving all Mr. Wrong-ish.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if it weren't for the fact that John had a quiet apartment and close proximity to campus that I would continue to date him and that left me feeling a bit shallow and empty. Perhaps once the semester ended, I would have to take a good hard look at my life and finally fess up to the reality that going forward, I'd have to study at home.

Not that I had a terrible set up. Truth be told, I shared my own humble little two bedroom apartment with my good friend Zach whom I'd had a secret crush on since freshmen year, only he was too cool to notice. Zach was the dreamy type with dark brown hair and even darker eyes that smoldered when he was having an impure thought, which happened quite often to my delight. Oh, how I loved to see that look on his face, even if it wasn't me he was thinking about when he got it.

Zach worked out religiously and
