The date is September 1926 and the setting is Middleton College. Two friends from the same town, Angie and Theresa, have just gotten settled into their dormitory and their parents have gone back home leaving the two girls on their own for the first time.
“This is so exciting” Theresa said as she continued to unpack. “I don’t know if exciting is the word I’d use” Angie said as she hung up her clothes in the little closet on her side of the room. “Sure it is.” “Oh you know I’m just kidding” Angie said trying to squeeze as much as she could in her closet. “Do you think college will be anything like it is in the movies?” “You mean with lots of parties and swell looking guys?” Theresa asked. “Yeah” Angie nodded. “I don’t know but I sure hope so!” Theresa answered as the girls laughed.
“Hey, you wanna go down to the soda shop?” Angie asked after they had finished unpacking. “Sure” Theresa said jumping up from her bed and putting her shoes back on. It was a short walk from their dorm to the campus hot spot called the Sip Shack.
Most of the tables and booths were already occupied so they sat down at the counter. “What’ll it be girls” the waitress asked them as she got her pencil and pad ready to take their orders. “I’ll have a cheeseburger with all the fixin’s, fries and a strawberry shake” Theresa said. “I’ll have the same but no fixin’s on the burger, just cheese and ketchup and I’d like a chocolate soda” Angie replied. “Yuck, I don’t know how you drink those things” Theresa said making a face like she had just tasted something bad. “Everyone else on the planet likes chocolate. You’re just weird” Angie said joking. As they waited for their food they looked around the place. Some people were dancing to the song playing on the radio behind the counter but most of the students were just sitting and talking with each other. “I think we’re gonna like it here” Theresa said smiling.
After they finished lunch, the girls decided to take a walk into town. As they were walking, Angie spotted a candy shop. “Come on, let’s go in” she said. “How can you think about candy after eating that huge burger” Theresa said rubbing her full stomach. “Well, I’ll just get something to eat later” she said walking in. “Hello! If I can help you find anything let me know” said a voice from behind the counter. “Thanks” Angie said looking over to see the man working there.

She could feel her face getting flushed at the sight of this young, tall and handsome man. Theresa had already wandered over to another part of the shop and Angie quickly walked over to her. “Did you see the guy working here?” she said quietly. “Why are you whispering?” Theresa asked. “Shhh! Look!” Angie said looking in his general direction. “Oh, yeah his is kinda cute.” “Just kinda cute. You’re crazy! He’s beautiful!!” Angie said. “Well, why don’t you go talk to him” Theresa suggested. “Oh I couldn’t.” “Well either talk to him, buy something or let’s go. I wanna see more of the town.” “Okay” Angie said as she grabbed a handful of candy bars and took them up to the register.
She tried not to look at the young man, afraid her whole face would turn beet red. She quickly paid for her candy and then she and Theresa left the shop. Once outside, Angie breathed a heavy sigh of relief. “Are you okay?” Theresa asked laughing at her friend. “Yeah, you know me, I get so nervous around cute guys.” “I know! Come on let’s see what else is around here” Theresa said as they continued to walk down main street.
