The girl tucked her hair behind her ear, smiling at the guy sitting beside her. "I'm Leonard, by the way," he said, outstretching his hand for a handshake with Precious.
"Precious, you already know," she replied, accepting his huge hand and letting him shake it.
"Such a small hand," Leonard reacted, causing Precious to become more nervous. She wondered if it was some kind of red flag. "I like it so much," Leonard, however, said after scrutinizing her hand as if checking if there was anything more special about it.
Precious only offered a smile and they focused on the class. She picked up her pen, no longer feeling as nervous as she was when Leonard sat next to her. However, she still felt strange around him. Precious felt as if she wasn't perfect enough to attract Leon's attention, hence her insecurities before him.
For a short moment, they both focused on the lecture until Leon spoke again. "What you did earlier was brave."
