The Fadeaway

He thinks we're playing the longest game of hard-to-get ever. We're not. Joel: The hottest girl on campus won't go out with me. I know, I know, that sounds presumptuous, but this girl... this girl has gotten under my skin, and I can't seem to walk away.Every Thursday, I show up at the cafe where she works. She's fed me every excuse in the book. I should give up and bang one of the many girls blowing up my phone. I'm not.Even when she says no, Thursday is my favorite day of the week.Katrina: The hottest guy on campus won't stop asking me out. I know that sounds like a good problem to have, but this guy... this guy has no idea how complicated my life is trying to juggle being a single mom and college student.Every Thursday, he shows up at the cafe where I work. His cheesy pickup lines and arrogance should have me completely annoyed. I'm not.I can't say yes, but Thursday is my favorite day of the week.
