Spring 09 Semester As Played in a VCR

*****INSERT TAPE, PRESS PLAY*****

It's the last day of actual class. Class where you sit, listen to the professor lecture, and take notes. Next time the class gathers, it will be for the final. The very last class of the very last spring semester. And, for the very last time, Mr. Benton hands out a study guide, 3 for the row I sit in, and the guy that sits next to me smiles and slides the guide my way.

*****REWIND*****

It's the very first day of class. I'm one of the first one's there as I hate being late. I sit in the second row, as I like to be close to the front. A few minutes before class is to start, this guy walks in a sits 2 seats down from me. The professor passes out his syllabus, 3 for the row I'm sitting in, introduces himself as Mr. Benton, and for the very first time, the guy sitting next to me smiles and slides the syllabus my way.

*****FAST FORWARD*****

It's the very last day of class. We all can't get out of there fast enough. For the very last time, the guy that sits 2 seats down from me makes small talk with me. We wish each other luck on finals and go our separate ways, but not before he flashes me a smile...

*****5 HOURS LATER*****

I get on Facebook to find a friend request. I check to see just who in the world wants to be my friend. I'm greeted by that oh so friendly smile from Mr. Benton's class. Who could resist that smile?? Not me, that's for sure!!

*****TAPE ROLLS OUT OF FEED*****

Guess I'll just have to push stop, rewind, and play again! ;)
