Mindy never did like fall. It always reminded her that school was starting again.

" I can't believe we got roped in to help the incoming freshman move again," Henry complained.

" Hey, at least we got a tent and seats this time."

" And cute girls." He moved his sunglasses down as a group of freshman walked past them.

Mindy rolled her eyes and swatted him with a rolled-up brochure.

" Ouch! Hey."

" Stop ogling them, you're being creepy."

" You know you're still the prettiest girl in my eyes Mindy." He leaned in closer.

She swatted him straight in the face.

" Ow. Okay, I get it. Jeez. You still moping over that Jupiter guy?"

She flushed, her mind was completely over him. But her heart still ached with the what-ifs.

He sighed, " You know, he skipped class last week to visit his ex-girlfriend. I think it's safe to say he's still in love with her."

Mindy blew the air, " I know."

" Excuse me, do you happen to know where the student union is?"

" Yeah, it's a-" She stopped. The boy in front of her was that good looking. Tussled black hair, dark eyes, glasses, and a sharp jawline.

Henry closed her mouth for her, an annoying smirk on his lips, " Yeah it's on the right, past the library. You're not a freshman are you?"

The boy smiled and adjusted his athletics bag.
" No, I'm a third year. I just transferred in."

I'm gonna steal all the toilet paper in your apartment Henry.

Mindy smiled, " Wow. That's cool."

He chuckled, " Yeah, I guess it is. See you guys around."

Henry turned to her, " Hm."

" Nope, don't say it." She held a finger to his lips.

" He seems nice." He smiled sickly sweet,
" Maybe even nice enough to start a conversation."

" What happens to me being the prettiest girl in your eyes?"

" Just because I acknowledge your beauty doesn't mean I want to date you," He replied.
" That's disgusting."

" Whatever. I'm not talking to him." She hissed.

" Oh, I think you will."

" What's that supposed to mean?" Mindy made a face.

" Third year here left his schedule here," Henry smiled, " And looks like you have all the same classes."

" You're joking."

" Nope. This guy is going to be good for you. You won't spend the weekends moping around, eating ice cream from the tub and maybe actually hang out with me at the Hills."

" Yes, with a new girl around your arm every week."

" What jealous?"

" I swear I will-"

The boy appeared again, looking visibly more tired. He was breathing heavily, " Sorry I forgot my schedule."

Henry pushed the paper into her hands.

She threw him a nasty look, " Here I have your schedule."

" Thanks, I'm Mars by the way."

" You're joking. Like the planet?"

She could barely hear his answer over the howling of laughter coming from Henry. She kicked his chair.

" I'm Mindy." she smiled and shook his hand.

He didn't let her go.
