Jeremiah had never known the world of the popular young men and women of his high school, he was simply one of the average every day folks that take life one day at a time waiting for things to turn in their favor.  He had known of her for several years, but with him a senior and her only a sophomore they weren’t part of the same circles that form in that part of life.  How could he have ever imagined what the fates or destiny had in mind for the two of them?  Frankly the thought never entered his mind; she was but a young girl that he saw in the hallways at school once in a while, though a time or two had thought she tried to get his attention, he was so non social by nature then that he didn’t even really notice.<br/><br/>After his graduation he had not managed to get in to a college, not that his grades weren’t adequate, but because his parents had not been able to set aside enough funds to allow a continued education and making just enough to not allow for financial assistance from other sources.  While he was naturally disappointed, he was one to keep a good attitude and focus on the future.  The summer after graduation he got a job with a construction company as a laborer, and had managed to set aside some moneys each pay day for over two years; his goal to go to college and find his path in life.  That realization was almost at hand, though he had needed to maintain a reclusive life in place of the partying and drinking his coworkers found an every day routine.  In as such, he had not dated either, but he was OK with it, after all his moral values held true to ‘waiting until the wedding bed’ to be an unalterable path, or at least so far they had and he remained a virgin even in this day of teen age sex and pregnancies as society ran rampant in the path of lust and perversion.<br/><br/>He had enough money set aside to enroll for two semesters, and hoped that in that time he could get some of the basic classes finished and find a resource for other moneys to continue, even though he intended not to have to work during his scholastic endeavors, he knew better and would be resigned to working part time as a contractor’ helper.  As he went to the local community college to enroll he sighted a familiar face, one he hadn’t thought of since high school, not that he had given her much thought even then, with her being so much younger.  She was in the line next to his in the admissions office, and as he realized that he did indeed know who she was he decided to strike up a conversation.  He gazed in her direction for a bit, in almost a stare; hopefully he would surely be noticed by the pretty young lady standing waiting for the same entry to college as he.<br/><br/>“Hi, I know you, don’t I? Didn’t you go to Clarksville High?”  His voice belied his nervousness as he spoke, but he was after all only making small talk, so surely she wouldn’t think him to be hitting on her with such a lame line.  He waited for a reply and smiled as he watched her stand there only a couple of feet from him.<br/>
