Nikki was on one side of the classroom and Steely the other. One day Steely walked over to ask for help on his study guide after class... Another day, Nikki didn't show up for class and Steely messaged her on Facebook to see what he missed. He was in class that day... but Nikki didn't know that. The next time Nikki came to class she asked Steely why he didn't make it to class that day either. He replied, "I was in class, I just needed an excuse to talk to you". Nikki was taken at the time and vanished from the awkward situation without responding. Her then boyfriend told her to go back and apologize to him and so she did. After that, they talked in the hallway as friends. Several months passed and the boyfriend at the time proved to be the wrong pick. Steely noticed Nikki was single and swooped in. It’s been 3 years since.
