    About this ebook

    “Jesse's Girl” is a mainstream story about Jesse, a college student who spends far more time fantasizing about girls than interacting with them in real life. When a girl in his chemistry class catches his imagination, he’s determined to do something about it. In between his schoolwork, hanging out with dorm buddies, and working a somewhat licentious part-time job, he musters up the courage to talk to her. But his newfound infatuation has a past he hadn’t counted on.

    Word count: 13,800.

      Jesse’s Girl

      Jesse bit into a hamburger—usually a safe if uninspiring choice from the school cafeteria—and listened to Todd drone on about oxidation-reduction reactions. He partially listened, anyway, instead focusing his attention on a girl that sat five or six tables away, a cute girl with pale skin and short black hair, a girl he had seen many times but never spoken to.

      Todd was helping Jesse cram for a chemistry test that afternoon. Todd wasn’t taking the class himself, but, being a chemical engineering major and having aced the class last year, he understood and could regurgitate the material with what Jesse imagined must be some type of genetically mutated memory. Jesse preferred English and philosophy classes, where one could excel by simply making things up.

      Jesse fixated on the girl as she walked across the cafeteria, effectively turning Todd’s explanation into background noise. The girl was in Jesse’s chemistry class. He didn’t know her beyond having seen her in class, but he’d certainly taken notice of her. Their chemistry class was a large lecture hall—she always sat on the right side about halfway to the back—and Jesse would position himself several rows behind her and to the right so he could watch her while seemingly looking at the professor.

      He’d had this type of distanced infatuation before. A girl would catch his eye, usually not the most obviously attractive girl, but someone who had a certain look, and she would dominate his thoughts, grow in his imagination, for anywhere from several weeks to several months.

      There was the quasi-hippie girl who worked behind the counter at the library. Jesse had taken out book after book, only to return them the following day, until, one day, she was gone. And there was the girl in his French class with silky red-tinted hair who sometimes wore a black choker. He’d watched her from across the room the entire semester, never approaching her, though telling himself that he’d muster the courage when they got back from winter break. She wasn’t in his second semester French class, and his imaginative longings compelled him to loiter outside other French classes to try to catch a glimpse of her. But, like all the other girls he’d dreamt about, she was gone, only a diminishing memory remaining, soon to be replaced by another transitory infatuation.

      Though there wasn’t one particular type of girl that attracted him, they did all have one thing in common: He didn’t have the nerve to approach any of them. What would he have to talk about? To Jesse, it was a linguistics problem; he simply couldn’t string the appropriate group of words together.

      But there was something about the girl in his chemistry class that appealed to him even more than the others. Everyone sees people in their everyday lives that they’re attracted to, that they think about, if only briefly, in ways they can’t speak aloud. He’d had such fantasies about this
