Alexander...

Whenever Alexander entered a room, everyone noticed.
Not just because he was nearly two meters tall or because his smile looked like it belonged on a magazine cover. Not even just because he was the best player on the university basketball team. It was something more: the exaggerated confidence in his stride, as if the entire world revolved around him.
And, to be honest, often it did.
Everyone on campus knew him.
The popular guy.
The one who never lost.
The one who always got what he wanted.
"Alexander, great game yesterday!" someone shouted from the hallway.
He raised his hand without stopping.
"I know."
That was Alexander. Direct. Confident. Narcissistic, according to many.
But that day, something was different.
Because just as he entered the administration building to drop off some papers, he collided with someone.
Literally.
Books tumbled to the floor.
"Don't you look where you're walking?" Alexander said, annoyed.
The girl knelt to pick up her things without rushing.
"I could ask you the same thing."
Alexander frowned.
That wasn't normal.
Most girls got nervous when he spoke.

When she stood up, Alexander really looked at her for the first time.
She was new. That much was clear. He hadn't seen her before.
She had long, dark hair and a calm, almost indifferent expression.
"You're new," he said.
"Yes."
"First mistake: walking without looking."
She looked him straight in the eyes.
"Second mistake: thinking you're the center of the universe."
Alexander fell silent for a second.
Nobody spoke to him like that.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
"No."
"I'm the captain of the basketball team."
"Congratulations."
And she kept walking.
Alexander turned to watch her walk away.
What had just happened?
From that day on, they began to run into each other more often in the hallways... and Alexander wanted to talk to her.
