Ivy was never the most smooth when it came to interactions with people. But there was one day in particular, she would never forget. It's her first year of college and she starts meeting new friends. Her, and her bestie Anne, enjoy playing basketball, and that's where Ivy meets Tyler for the first time. She's immediately attracted. She ends up on his team, someone passes her the ball and Tyler begins to swarm around her, protecting her and the ball. He begins encouraging her to shoot the ball, she blushes. It's a tough shot, but she shoots, and she scores! Tyler shows so much excitement toward her, cheering her on, she loves it. She spends the next several hours talking to Anne about him, ends up two seats away from him in class, and ends her day outside on the steps of her dorm with Anne. They had went to the store earlier to grab some sweets after the game, so Ivy was munching on a Mr. Goodbar when Tyler walks by smiling and says "Hey, what's up?" And that's when Ivy's brain fluggard, and she responded "Hunk of chocolate?" She turned a deep red realizing she just said the word hunk. "I meant chunk of chocolate..." Tyler chuckles, blushing a little himself, and kindly accepts.
