Candice and Kai are two students in the same program in their first year of college. She is quiet and keeps to herself while he talks and is friendly with everyone. After the first week of classes, the two are paired up for a project. Kai decides that the two should met up and work on it, and Candice quietly agrees. But what happens when he starts to flirt and she likes it? He ends up taking her up to his room. The two have a one night stand, and the project has yet to be done. But when Kai tries to contact Candice, it almost seems like a lost cause. On the day the project is due, he walks into class, ready to tell to professor that the project is unfinished. However, when Kai walks in, he sees Candice sitting in the chair beside his. He sits and tries to talk to her, and she simply says that Kai has nothing to worry about because the project is finished. After the two turn in the project, they go their separate ways. But after a while, Kai begins to miss her. Candice had fallen for Kai after that night, but too ashamed to admit it, so she tries to move on. But what happens when Kai tries to reconnect with her? Will it be another one night stand or will it finally be more than that?

Shoes slapped against the marbled flooring of the college's halls. The female's blonde hair whipped back and forth in the pony tail it was tied in. She was rushing towards her dorm room before she had to head off to her elective class. She stumbled in and saw another girl sitting at a desk a few feet from the door. She blinked and her checks started to burn as she headed for her room and dumped all her belongings onto her bed. She grabbed her bag and stuffed her books and school utensils inside. She looked around the room quickly. It wasn't too small, but it only fit a dresser and a bed. With a small sigh she threw the bag over her shoulder and rushed out of the room Things are looking okay so far.... Wonder what classes will be like.... she thought to herself. Candice made it to the class just as the last minute stuck on the clock. She rushed and got to the first available seat.
xxxxxxx By only the second week of being on campus, Kai Dang was already disgustingly popular. For reasons unknown, people just seemed to melt at the sight of him. There was something about his bronze skin, his messy hair, his soft brown eyes... Girls flocked to him. He never actually had to try to get anyone, but he liked the idea of someone who would be a challenge. Someone interesting. A girl who wouldn't immediately try to go back to his apartment a few blocks away from campus. He wasn't all too interested in the girls that threw themselves at him. They were one-trick ponies, only really good for a one night stand. Not that he minded it on occasion.
xxxxxxxBut it wasn't just the fact that he was a looker that attracted them. Seeing as he didn't think too much of himself, he never would have thought that girls liked anything about him other than his supposedly handsome face. However, there was more to him than just the exterior. He was quick, kind, and respectful of other people. He had more on his mind than just getting grades or sleeping with girls. Something about that seemed to draw people in, make them want to be around him. People found him fascinating. He had many skills and talents, but he was never make another person feel like less than because of it.
xxxxxxx Because he lived off campus, Kai usually tried to leave his home a bit earlier so he would be on time. While he didn't stress himself out about school, he did take it seriously. He was looking to get a teaching degree, although he was still questioning whether he wanted to teach music or drama or dance. But, hey, he had enough time to decide, right? Anyway, Kai was already in class when Candice arrived. He was talking to two of his friends, a petite girl named Kassidy and her boyfriend, a Korean boy by the name of Chen. Kai and Chen had bonded in grade school when Kai first moved to America. Chen had helped him adjust and tutored him in English when the other kids teased him. Now, ten years later, the two were still friends.

I am SOOOOO SOOO SOOOOOOOO sorry I took this long to reply sad(((
Taking a seat beside a dark hair boy, she turned her attention to the teacher. Candice pulled out her belongings and did her best to follow along with the class. This was her elective class, she got to chose it, so she'd chose creative writing. It was easy for her because she was a fan of writing, and if it was something she loved to do in her free time it would almost be like she was simply at home writing something. When the professor close his laptop and turned to the class, Candice was all ears, until she heard what he had to say. "Please pick a partner, and two weeks from now I want the two of you to come up with a concept for a story.. This will help you prepare for you're final assignment at the end of the term.." he said. The blonde froze, who in the hell was she going to be partners with? She didn't even know anyone in the class, nor did she want to get to know them, this was starting to be a bad day. Crap... Of damn it!... Of course this would happen... she thought grimly to herself. Looking around she watched as the rest of the class started to pick someone to partner up with. Feeling defeated, she looked down at her books and decided she'd wait until someone else who didn't have a partner told the professor.
xxxxxxx Kai's attention turned to the professor as class began. Despite his playboy reputation, he did take school seriously. It usually surprised people how much he cared about his education, but he didn't mind. After all, it was fun to keep people on their toes. He liked the look of surprise on the faces of the nerdy kids from his old school when he graduated in the top ten. "How the H-E-double hockey sticks is that possible?" He'd overheard one boy say when it was announced that Kai had beaten him. He didn't like to gloat or anything, but he would always remember the look of disgust on the boy's face when Kai asked him for help in the library during the first week of freshman year. "Do you even read?" the boy had sneered. Kai didn't understand. What had he ever done to him? He just wanted help finding a book for his research paper. Honestly, that guy was such a jerk. Thinking about it put a bad taste in Kai's mouth.
xxxxxxxHis attention turned back to the teacher now. A group project? Oh, ********> He glanced at Chen and Kassidy, but they had already began discussing their plans to work together. He knew that he could easily find a partner, but he wanted someone who was actually willing to do the project. He knew plenty of girls in the class, but he had a feeling they would be no work and all play. God knows he was always more than easily distracted. His problem wasn't that he didn't have the motivation, but more of the fact that he had a very small attention span. His gaze flickered around the room, and he saw a small brunette wave at him. He shot her a stunning smile but pretended he didn't notice when she gestured for him to come sit with her.
xxxxxxx Finally, Kai's gaze was caught by a blonde girl who was sitting by herself. When he noticed the defeated expression on her face, he decided that she would be his partner. It didn't even occur to him that she could possibly reject him, and he leaned over to her and cleared his throat. "Hey, you wanna work with me?" A charming smile etched itself into his finely formed features as he looked at her.
Of course the only thing Candice was thinking to herself was that there was no way in hell she was going to be able to get a partner. She was far too shy and so introverted that it was like trying to put a fire out with gasoline. So she was stuck sitting alone and trying not to let herself get to far into her own head. When she took yet another tortured glance around the room, she could see a whole bunch of girls all trying to partner up with the same male. She thought they looked a tad bit silly in fact. That was until their eyes were glaring at the innocent blonde. Why are they starring at me like that?.... What did I do?... Was I starring to much?... she thought to herself as she looked away. Of course, to her surprise, there was the very male the other girls had been starring at. He was leaning over Candice's table in all his good looks and charm. She blinked and did her best not to blush, thinking maybe he'd seen someone behind her and couldn't get to them. But when his lips parted and he began to speak, to her!, she nearly fell over. He wanted to be partners with her?! Was he being serious?! Too afraid that she wouldn't find anyone else, she blurted out softly "Y-y-yes..". Now she was far to embarrassed to even look at the male, much less say another word to him, but they'd have to communicate eventually right? She had no clue how she was going to be able to focus on anything, she'd never been partners with a guy, much less one that looked this good.
Hearing both the professors voice and the chatter of partners, she heard them being dismissed. She gathered her things and stood to. She had to look up a little to see the males face. He's much better looking than I thought he was.... This isn't going to go well.... Maybe he just chose me so that he wouldn't have to do any of the work... This is troublesome... she thought to herself all at once. Candice's anxiety had reached it's all time high being beside the male. But if she wanted to keep the good grades she'd walked into the college with, she had no choice but to learn to open her mouth and try her best to form words. "So... Umm... I have next period off.... Did you uhh.. Wanna maybe.. Head to the library?..." she stuttered and stumbled her way through the few short words with a soft, shy tone. Damn. Why was it so hard for her to say things to people? It wasn't like they were all out to get her for something. Relax... Breathe... Everything is going to be okay.... Just focus on breathing and getting this project done as soon as possible... Breathe...... she thought to herself, trying to remember the things she counsellor had said to her about her anxiety and introvertedness.
xxxxxxx Kai appeared rather pleased when she stuttered out an answer. Although he would never admit it, he secretly enjoyed when girls got flustered around him. There was something satisfying about knowing that someone found you intriguing enough to be nervous about your presence. He was aware that many girls felt this way about him, but the emotions were typically not reciprocated. However, he was not made of stone. He did go on the occasional date, but he almost never bothered with a follow up. All of the girls that were attracted to him were the same: whiny, desperate, and only interested in one thing: sex. There were also a few girls who reflected their need to love themselves on to him, convincing themselves that if he loved them, maybe they could love themselves. Unfortunately, he knew that loving themselves should come before any boy. He did keep a few of their numbers, though, and sometimes he spoke with them, just to make sure they were doing well.
xxxxxxx A cheeky grin spread across the Korean boy's lips as she avoided his gaze. This girl, she was cute. He liked the way she was understated, unlike the others. As she evaded his stare, he took the chance to actually really look at the girl. She was prettier than he had first acknowledged. He usually wasn't into blondes, but she made him question his previous impressions. She had sharp cheekbones and nicely shaped lips, and although he didn't get into look into her eyes very long, he recognized the sharp blue color. His gaze followed her as she stood up. He liked what he was seeing. Nonetheless, he cleared his throat and gathered his things as well. She was just a partner for a project after all. This would be all work and no play... Well, that was if he could manage to stay on track.
xxxxxxx"My name is Kai, by the way." He smiled and looked down at his things. Quickly, his gaze flickered back to her as she spoke, and something like a chuckle escaped his lips. Next period? What did he have next period? It took him a second to think, but then he remembered that didn't have anything either. He usually hung out with his friends. How long was this going to take anyway, a few hours? The two of them could be ready to hand it in by the end of the day, let alone two weeks. However, he figured it would be good to finish sooner rather than later."Sure, jagiya." He pulled himself to his feet and waved goodbye to his friends, then grabbed his things. "Let's go." He slung his arm around the girl's shoulder and lead her out the door.

Out Of Chords; it just occurred to me that the word jagiya is actually not an English word so in case you didn't know, it's Korean for sweetheart. Oopsy. Kai iswearing...

Jagiya? What did that mean? She couldn't help but ponder to herself the meaning of the word the boy had used instead of her name. Maybe because he doesn't even know what your name is?.. Might help to tell him... she thought to herself. "N-N-Nice to m-m-meet you Kia.... I.. I'm umm.. C-C-Candice..." she stuttered out once more. Of course this would most likely be the way she'd speak throughout their entire conversations. Not that the poor girl could control how nervous she got in front of people. When Kia rose and said good bye to his friends, she wondered what it would be like to have a group of friends, but she quickly shook the thought from her mind. He never said anything about what he had next period, but he seemed to want to head to the library anyways. She nodded and was about to walk off when she felt an arm slowly made it's way over her shoulders.
She stood motionless for a few moment, before Kia helped her out the door. This was not something that she had anticipated would happen, and how could he be so comfortable around someone he'd just met only mere seconds ago. Boys... Must be a boy thing... she thought to herself. Of course that didn't mean that she was entirely comfortable with the whole setup. As the two made their way towards the library, she couldn't help but notice the billions of stares she was getting. Some were looks of jealously, other looks of horrified disgusted at the public display of affection, or the minor display of affection they were showing. This is weird... Oh gosh this is so weird... Why is he so close?.. Holy crap... Oh my God... Oh lord... the poor, shy girl thought to herself. She couldn't help the nervousness that she felt around the male. She barely knew him and she'd never been this close with anyone, not even her family.
