This happened when I was a junior in college, studying abroad in Italy for a semester.
In my program, there were 20 other students from my school, and of course we interacted a bunch with other schools, but the 21 of us spent a lot of time all together and (for the most part) got pretty close. There were of course small groups of closer friends, but we generally had a good time whenever we were all together.
There were some pretty girls in our group, but one girl especially caught my eye, call her Emma. She was short, curly brown hair and very dark eyes. Due to her size, you’d think that perky would be the right word to describe her but I don’t think that does it justice. She wasn’t particularly slim, but also not fully “curvy”. She was just right in my book. She was super fun to be around, had an amazing sense of humor, and an adorable little giggle that always made me smile.
