I was walking my bike up a hill, nearly out of breath, and <<they>> called over to me to ask if I biked much. This must've been in the first week of class, <<they>> had freshman excitement written all over <<their>> face. I told <<them>> I didn't bike so much as ride downhill on my bike most of the time. But <<theywere>> on <<their>> way to the bookstore, which was about to close, and told me that <<they>> would text me if <<they>> made it or not. Then <<they>> asked for my phone and had texted <<themself>> something from my phone before I even realized what was going on.
