I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you First week on campus and I was loving it. College was brilliant, between lectures anyway. The campus was beautiful too. I decided to go down by the lake, Josh had said it was nice down here. I took my guitar, standard procedure, and sat under the willow tree. The place was beautiful. I rolled up my trousers, took of my shoes and socks and dipped my feet in the cool water. I sat there a whie, thinking about home. I sorta missed it. Especially Shannon. She was in college loser to home though, doing a photography coarse. I picked up my guitar and started playing a few songs. Tegan and Sara mostly. I was half way through Nineteen when I heard someone behind me. I looked around. A very pretty gir with fiery red hair was standing there. She looked like she had been listening to me play. "Hey" I smiled at her.

I had been swimming in the lake. When I'd heard the sound of a guitar, I'd gotten out and found my clothes, getting dressed and going to find te source. I was careful to conceal my wings in the skin of my back. There was a girl sitting under the willow tree, a drapery of the willow leaves around her. Like Mother Willow in Pocahontas. The girl was singing along. She was very good, although I didn't recognise anything she was playing. It sounded nice though. "Hey," She'd said. I hadn't even realised she'd turned around, I'd been so lost in the song. She was pretty. She had high cheekbones and a skinny frame, with dark hair framing her pretty face. She seemed so sweet, yet there was something animal about her. "Hello," I said cheerfully, planting myself down next to her, crossing my legs and sitting up straight. "Please continue."

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you "Um" I said, feeling suddenly nervous. Which was really weird for me. "Ok" I started the song again becuase I had forgetten where I was. Despite my nerves around this girl, I coulld still play properly. When I was finished I put my guitar down carefully and looked back at the girl. "I'm Alex" I smiled at her.

"Oh I'm Jamie!" I said, excited that I was meeting new people. "I'm in my first year, what about you?" I realised my perkiness was probably frightening her. "I'm sorry, it's just I get excited easily. There's a clinical name for it, but I'm really nice if you don't mind me rambling," I smiled happily at her.

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you "Yeah, I'm in my first year too" I replied. I smiled at the girls enthusiasm. I loved it! "Don't worry about it" I shrugged. "It's kinda cute" Was I flirting with her?

"I love it here," I smiled at her, leaning forward. "Isn't it beautiful? Just look at this place!" I stood up and twirled around. "I'm sorry!" I said breathlessly, "I'm just so happy to be here and it's so nice to meet you and you're such a great singer and guitarist God I wish I could play guitar," I sat down again next to her, "Is it hard to play?" I asked.

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you I watched the girl dance around. She seemed so delicate and lighty. Like she was almost about to fly away. "Not really. I thought myself." I shrugged. "I could teach you if you like?"

"Oh would you?" I gasped, shocked that she would be so nice. "I'll pay you for lessons of course!" I nodded, "I'd really appreciate, but I have a short attention span, so I might get distracted easily..." I bit my lip. Easily was an understatement.

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you "You don't have to pay me." I shrugged. She looked a bit worried about the fact she gott distracted easily, but I kinda liked it. She was fun to be around. "We can go up to my room and get my other acoustic and start now if you like?2 I asked her.

"If I like? I'd love that! Oh thank you thank you thank you!" I hugged her happily. "You're such a nice person!" I smiled at her, "Can we be friends?" I asked, pulling away, "Because I'd totally understand if you don't want to be but I'd really love if we were!"

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you "Yeah, we could totally be friends" I picked up my guitar and put it on my back, keeping it there with the strap. "Come on, I'm room nineteen."

"Your room is nice," I commented when we got there. "Oh, you're not homophobic are you?" I asked suddenly, realising that some people were actually uncomfortable with gays. "Because I'm gay and I respect your views so if you're homophobic I'll leave."

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you "Oh yeah, I'm so homophobic" I laughed. "Not really, I'm gay too" I went over too my desk where my other acoustic was. It was a brown Gibson. Brand new. I still preferred my black, nine year old guitar. No brand name. "Here" I handed her the Gibson. "You can use this one."

I held it the way I hadseen people hold guitars on T.V. "Like this?" I asked about the positin of the guitar. "Ok... So what now?" I asked, barely able to wait to learn how to play.

I feel you in my heartAnd I don't even know you I could tell she really wanted to learn. I showed her a few cords and got her to play them for me, she was pretty good.
