How did Chelsea and Hunter meet? From A Guy and A Girl #fridaysnippets

From my NA contemporary hockey romance- A Guy and A Girl.
Scene set: Hunger is back in North America and signed up for summer hockey. His dream is to make it the professional hockey league.  Chelsea is a local girl, thinking about becoming a dancer, but not sure where her focus should be. She and Hunter meet in a summer college course.


To Hunter's relief, he wasn't handed a name tag at registration. Instead, he received his Thorton College student ID card and directions to his first class. He entered from the top left door of the huge amphitheatre lecture hall and sat five rows from the back, having a clear view of the fifteen people as they scattered throughout the lecture hall below him. He dropped his notepad on the seat next to him and looked at the small number of students. Hmph, small college, little class. Not so easy to hide in.One girl, with long reddish-brown hair and seductive green eyes stumbled on a step, did a double take when she noticed him, then sat two rows away. Hunter suspected she was sneaking glances his way. He tried to catch her eye, but she was subtle in her movements.The professor, dressed in bright plaid shorts and a blue dress shirt, walked in to the podium, dropped his briefcase on the table and pulled out papers. "This is Communications 290C. If that is not on your schedule, scat!" No one moved. He removed his glasses, dusted them with a white handkerchief and resettled them on his face. "I'm Professor Campbell. That's C-A-M-P-B-E-L-L, like the soup company. I expect you to be prepared to work. This is a compact course. No time for absences or excuses. Do we understand each other?"Hunter stifled a snort as he watched various heads bob in agreement. Brown noses. The cute girl scratched her forehead while tapping her pencil on the desk."Good. Now let's get out of here. I hate cold impersonal lecture halls. Seminar room 136 is empty. Go grab yourselves a coffee and meet me there in ten minutes."The class shuffled books and papers then wandered out of the room. Hunter stopped in front of a vending machine, pulled a handful of change from his pocket and dropped it into the slot.The girl from class paused at the coffee dispenser next to him. "OJ at this hour of the day? Oh, that rhymed."Hunter chuckled, as his gaze scanned her long lean torso and tanned legs."Don't you need something a little stronger? I know I do." She pressed Coffee. Black."Unfortunately, this isn't early for me. I've been up since six-fifteen." He kept his gaze fixed on her while he removed the cap and chugged half the orange juice."6:15." She shuddered. "Is it even daylight then?" She sipped her steaming coffee."This time of year, yeah.""I hope I never see that hour."Hunter fumbled with his drink, caught it, then laughed before wiping his lip. "I know what you mean. It isn't my decision to be up that early. Do you know where 136 is?""Follow me. I'm Chelsea.""Nice name." He held out his hand. "Hunter." When she offered hers, he gripped it. Her tiny fingers were dwarfed by his, her skin smooth and soft. The top of her head didn't quite reach his shoulder. He had to fight to keep from losing himself in her smile.

What people are saying about A Guy and A Girl



Review by Rebecca:
A Guy and A Girl took me by surprise. When I began reading, it took me a little while to adjust to reading through multiple perspectives. After I read a few chapters I easily adapted.
Knowing what is going on in a scene through several characters gave this story a true YA/New Adult feel.
I enjoyed the plot twists and turns, the suspense, and especially the ending. It is a bit longer of a read than most YA/NA books, but again, it worked for me.
Ms Adams wrote as if she was inside these young characters’ heads, and it made the story come alive.
