Dreams really do come true!

Bella and Nick both attended Bridgewater State University in two completely different majors. For one of their general requirements they had to take a public speaking class. They both chose Oral Interpretation. Bella had back surgery two days before school started and had missed the first class. When she arrived, Nick was immediately curious about the beautiful girl who wasn't there day one. The room was hot from the lack of AC and the class needed to move upstairs. Bella couldn't carry her bag up the stairs because of her recovery and Nick swooped in and offered to carry it for her. She decided to sit by him and they were put in a group project together. Nick noticed that the professor would put you in a group with whoever you were next to, so once they were in their normal classroom again, he moved his seat so that he would always be grouped with Bella. They had fun moments in that class like betting on what time this other class member would get to class (he was always late and smelled like weed). Bella was pretty unaware of Nick's interest which was pretty subtle at first considering he was dating someone else at the time. Then one day in November, after he had split from his previous relationship, he told Bella he was "taking girlfriend applications" and she laughed but did NOT get the hint. The class eventually ended and they stayed friends snapchatting each other here and there. Bella actually urged Nick to date someone from their class not realizing that he had been interested in her the whole time. Come February, Nick finally expressed directly to her that he had been interested and Bella was shocked (It really had been so obvious) , but Nick was shocked because he never thought Bella would be interested in him. They began talking as more than friends and then soon enjoyed their first date at the very very crowded New England Aquarium, which actually lasted about 20 minutes before they left and went to get some lunch. They listened to a violin player and sat by the water where Nick put his arm around Bella for the first time. That first date changed everything.
