It seemed that every single September at the start of the college year I would get this yearning for a girlfriend and this year was no different. The start of a school year was always the mark of a new beginning after all and a new chance to get to know people.
The girls didn't seem to be in the mood for mingling. They all had this same look of wonder in their faces, as if college wasn't the worst, most lonely and lovesick place they could be.
I looked at the college propaganda poster on the wall, filled with stock photo models, including a beautiful smiling blonde girl with big blue eyes and big lips. She was why I signed up, not stupid BS that appeared on my timetable like "communication theory" and "work experience internship". What did that have to do with my field of study anyway?
Where was this smiling blonde girl with big blue eyes and big lips? I searched everywhere on campus and she was nowhere to be seen. I did see girls with blue eyes and other girls with blonde hair, but none as nice as her and none of them were smiling either.
One day I ripped the poster off the wall and started asking people like a detective where this girl was. Some looked at me like I was crazy and others kind of said jokey things just to humour me. Someone even became my sidekick, a girl with dark, energetic eyes and an honest, enthusiastic expression. She had soft lips too and it was always nice to hear her reports. We made a great team.
I continued to have my moments of despair. I stood at my bedroom window in the student accommodation block, looking at the other windows and wondering where I could find this girl? My sidekick would then hug me from behind and kiss me on the cheek, telling me we would find her some day and asked me to come back to bed with her.
My sidekick's kisses were comforting and kept me going on. Someday I will find her!
