This is part two of our new blog story, The Law of the Jungle. Part one can be found here.
If you are keeping up with the story, Blake is about to go and talk to the object of his affections. This section is from Henry's POV (said object).
Part three will be on H.L.'s blog next week. Enjoy!

Trust
one of Nancy’s
friends to have a way to get them into the hottest club in town, but Henry
sat there bored, waiting for Nancy and Frank return from the dance floor.
Somehow being the designated driver also meant he was responsible for guarding
the table. So here he was alone, drinking a Sprite and wondering how long
before they could leave to go back to the dorms, order a pizza and watch a
video on Netflix. Being a poor NYU student sometimes sucked, but going to
school in the Big Apple beat one more minute in the small Nebraska town he’d grown up in.
Suddenly,
a loud voice in his ear said, "New here?"
Henry
turned around so abruptly he nearly fell off his stool. Straightening himself
to an upright position, he looked up to face the stranger asking the question
and quickly found himself staring into the most clear blue eyes he’d ever seen.
For the first time in his life, since his ill-fated crush on the head
cheerleader in his high school, Henry was speechless.
