Sometimes he would come early, and we would get dinner, hang out, maybe watch a movie. Other times we would go straight to the gym. Occasionally Liz, Annie and Drew would join us. Every once in a while Liz and Drew would actually work out, but mostly they just made out on the bench presses. Colin and I, on the other hand, had landed in the friend zone. He never tried to kiss me again. I couldn’t imagine he was dating anyone else either, since we were together almost every night, but we never talked about that. We talked about everything else, though. When I aced my interview for a job as a research assistant for Channel Ten News, he was right there to celebrate. And when I found out that I officially got the job six months before we graduated, he helped me practice by pretending he was someone else, while I asked him interview questions. I was excited for him, too. He pushed himself every day, getting stronger and running faster than he ever had. Everything with us was going great...
