"really? Tell me when have you ever seen a clean, famous, artist. Then I'll change my statement." He said, shoving his hands into his jacket

"I would, but I haven't seen a lot of famous artists in my life." She walked backwards to face him, but her eyes didn't quite meet his.

"further points my point then." He said with a smirk, glancing at her and trying to meet her eyes

"Alright, fine." She finally met his eyes with the slightest hint of a blush.

He fought the urge to brush his hand against her cheek "I'm fairly certain we've passed your dorm." He said, gesturing to the town

Kenzie bounced to her tip toes to look over his shoulder. "Oh. Yup, that's my dorm." She bounced down and gave him an awkward smile.

He smiled down at her, thinking it adorable that she bounced around. "Want me to walk you back?"

"Sure!" She said after a slight moment's hesitation. She stayed in step with him, making up for her shorter strides with enthusiasm and energy.

"so, you do any sports?" Keith asked, not knowing what else to talk about as they walked to her dorm

"Not really, but I grew up on a farm, working around the animals. So I never really had time to get into sports and that sort of thing." She watched him out of the corner of her eye, studying him for a reaction.

He nodded and smiled "up at the days light, asleep by 1:00 in the morning." he laughed and ran a hand through his hair

"Hardly. I was in bed by 8;30 every night." She said primly, lifting her head to grin at him. "How about you? Did you grow up in a city or in the country?"

"I'm sadly a city boy, I grew up in the rough town of Chicago and ate the best pizza known to man since birth. the comotion and the street life keep you busy, so I guess you could say i grew up in the Suburban countryside." He smiled back at her and shrugged "acually quite fun."

She cocked her head at him with a smile. "Not a terrible way to grow up. Did you do sports?"

"Gods above no. My parents always tried getting me into them but I always hated sports." He glanced at her "you?"

"It depends what you count as a sport. I've wrestled goats, herded cows, and ridden horses. And taken cats to vets. I'd count all of those as somewhat extreme sports." She said, listing each one per finger.

"THe extreme of the extreme." he nodded in agreement "that's sounds like way more fun than living in the city."

"It was pretty great." She dipped her head to agree. "Just not a lot of people. I was homeschooled through middle the first half of high school, too, so I didn't get a lot of people time."

"At least you can get that experience now, here at college," he said, glancing up as her dorm building came into view too soon

"Exactly." She grinned at him and ran the last few steps up onto the small porch in front of the building. "See you tomorrow?"

He smiled and pulled his hood over his head, shielding his eyes into darkness "Only if you want to." he called over his shoulder

She didn't respond, waiting a second too long to grasp words. So she turned sharply and ducked into the warm light of the dorm.

Keith sighed and walked off towards his own dorm, only a few blocks away from Kenzie's "that went well…" He laughed and shook his head

Kenzie leaned against the door, breathing steadily and trying to shove the smile away. She forced herself not to glance out the window, and instead sat down on her bed to think.

Keith laied on his bed and thought about the day he had with kenzie smiling as he recalled the moment when they played the piano and guitar
