JOEY.

Walking into the library, I spotted Genesis sitting at a table in the far back.

I made my way over to her.

"Hey." She said once I approached the table.

"Sup?" I slid out a chair and sat down.

"So, I was thinking we could go over some of the things either of us aren't clear on. What do you need help with?"

"I don't need help with anything."

"Of course not, because you're Joey Scott."

"What does that even mean?"

She was already annoying me.

"Nothing."

"No, don't talk sh*t if you can't state why."

"Okay, it means you're a self obsessed know it all. You think your the smartest thing walking and God's gift to women."

"Let's get one thing straight, I cannot help it if people feel threatened by my work ethic or my ability to comprehend certain things quicker than others. I was blessed with that. Am I cocky about it? Absolutely not. If anyone in any of my classes needs help with something, I'm always the first to offer my assistance. I don't think I'm better than anyone else. As for that whole God's gift to women craziness, I don't know where that came from. I'm not familiar with most of the girls on campus. I don't approach anyone, and if I am approached, I immediately bring up my girl. I don't have time to worry about who my looks are or aren't affecting. I'm a simple guy, so before you draw up your little perception, get to know me. I'm here because I need these scores to get a good head start on my journey to becoming a pediatrician, not to be insulted."

She just stared at me for a moment.

"You think being God's gift to women is an insult?"

"When it's a false or poor judgement of my character, yes."

"Are you always this strait forward?"

"Yes, and you would've known that had you not listened to what everyone else was saying."

"Okay, okay. Relax." She held her hands up in surrender.

I was about ready to head back to my dorm. I had a Bio exam in three days and I could've been in my room studying alone, than sitting here.

"I didn't mean to upset you."

I didn't answer her as I pulled my Biology text book out of my bag.

"So, you want to be a pediatrician?"

"Yeah." I responded shortly as I turned to the last page I stopped off at in class earlier.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just that I've heard the way you talk to people, you always come off very rough and defensive."

"I've always been like that. I am approachable, but I have to get comfortable with a person before I start laughing and smiling in their face."

"Like I said, that's what I've noticed."

"And the part about me being a know it all?"
