You’ve gained an unlikely friendship in the last 5 months. He’s carried your stuff from class to class, helped you with assignments and walking you home. You never thought it would be the local pretty boy who became one of your only and closest friends.

Tartaglia walks through the hallway carrying your bag, he does it automatically. You’re telling him a story about a guy from class asking you out. He listens to the end of your sentence before he replies. “I hope you said no since I’m courting you.” That made you laugh, courting you? What does he live in the 1800s? Clearly he’s joking. But the expression on his face is serious. Is he seriously saying that he’s courting you? All these months he’s been “courting” you?
