I was roaming a nearby dorm with friends when a local coed walked past. We must have all watched her together because she frowned and sneered at the four of us. One of my friends made a crude comment in her direction.  
“Fuck off!” she replied. 
“Is that a promise?” I asked as she walked swiftly away from us. 
I never got an answer, and the four of us laughed and headed to the next party down the hall. Where we danced, drank, and flirted with girls. 
Later I noticed her looking sad, leaning against the wall of a stair landing in her dorm. I asked if she remembered my question. 
She told me I didn't have the guts to find out.
What happened next changed the direction of our lives, but at the time it was the hottest kiss I'd ever had.
