Sheldon and Stella meet in Pasadena



This is how it starts. Not all true stories lack fiction. this is a true story mixed with fiction.


2011 AC. the year of the rabbit. I mean live rabbits, not those gadgets. Somewhere in the outcasts of Pasadena, a group of over 800 people have just reported for a 12 month course. These 800 people are from different places. Coming together means they will have to make new friends. Time is a constraint and friend-making is not given so much a thought. Sheldon is among them and wonders how he will share the same oxygen in the same place with these people. He is too shy to start conversations with people he has just met. With an IQ of 187, he thinks he knows everything around him and doesn’t need to ask anybody for anything. At an American height, he’s a cool shy guy with an easy smile.

At first Sheldon believes there’s no much socialization to be done because these people are no different from the people he has known and interacted with for the last few years. That hypothesis will soon become obsolete and rendered mute. Stella too is here. A pretty beautiful lady, athletic, standing at 5'' 4'. Light skinned. Nice complexion. Perfect figure. She has just crossed the fence to join this place. It therefore means she is not seeing this place for the first time unlike Sheldon. Stella is originally from Omaha in Nebraska though she has stayed in Pasadena for quite sometime when she was pursuing her undergraduate studies, in photography. Sheldon is from East Texas, a crowded city though with low crime rate and average police response time of 8 minutes 36 seconds and high speed internet connection. There are no fast food joints hence less obese people. East Texas is a red State.

Fast forward to 2nd quarter of 2011 AC. All the 800 students have settled and serious studies have picked up. It happens that Stella and Sheldon are in the same class. Sheldon has taken note of Stella though he doesn’t know what Stella knows about him. They must have said hi to each casually a while back. Nothing much.
