I said that there was a lot to read but that's why it's called English Literature. Damn, that was a big whiff for me and I saw it immediately on her face. I did manage to redeem myself, though by telling her that I had read some of the books already. No lie there¡KI've always loved to read. Nice save on my part. She smiled again and asked if we could get together for some of the books, especially the ones that I read. No problem, I told her as we left the class. I asked for her name as if I didn't already know it and then told her my name. She gave a little laugh because all of my friends call me Rum. She was playing it cool, too. So when I saw the customary question on her face, I told her that it was a long story and I'd tell her sometime when we both had some time. She said that she was going to the cafeteria for coffee and asked me if I'd like to join her. No classes for another hour and a half so I said that I'd love to. On the way we just made small talk.
