Funny.
I’ve been going to the gym.
Five days a week. Sometimes six.
Same time. Same place.
But Anna — she’s like gone, man. Vanished. Poof. I haven’t seen her since.
It’s like she never existed.
Her last words to me were, “I’m sure I’ll see you around.”
Damnit. She lied. She totally lied.
I got the “see you around” brush-off from Anna Stern. Anna Stern.
Oh man. That’s depressing.

Five times a week?? All you need to do now is turn green and I’m sure we won’t like you when you’re angry!

So I was in the math labs today. Working on an assignment which is due during the exam period…
I overhear a few guys at the front of the labs talking about working out and one guy starts ranting on and on, naturally I eavesdrop.
He starts talking about this bodybuilder type guy who he saw at the gym often, eventually I suppose he mustered up the courage to talk to said ‘bodybuilder type guy’ (you) and asked him what he was taking, etcetera. Guy mentioned he was doing his Masters in Mathematics. At this point I figured out they were talking about Phil.
Dude goes on a bit longer, talks about how the dude did it all in 3 years. Read an article about how this guy is an A+ phenom, and had some 99.9% average in high school or something. Mentioned that he’s now in Oxford doing his PhD.
That’s all fine and dandy. But it’s the way he left the conversation.
He tells his friend, who he’s ranting to.
“But, the thing is…this guy… I mean, he looks like a jock. Very athletic, he’s very handsome, I mean… looking at him you would never figure him for being a genius.”
Yes. HE actually said you were very handsome. I found that kind of odd. He may have repeated that word twice.
