Ah, I love insecure, shy Pam, who is nervous about doing things at the basketball game that Jim is clearly going to be daydreaming about for weeks to come.
And the gas station kiss - the "I’m sorry our first kiss was at a gas station." "That’s okay. I’m sorry our second kiss is at a gas station." exchange is just too cute. Like, bottle that and sell it.
And I am pleased you made her a part-time receptionist! She can't escape!
Author's Response: Oh my gosh, I totally want to steal the line about Pam being nervous about things that Jim will daydream about later. Because you know he will. Thanks so much for reading~

Anyone else need a virtual shot of insulin due to all the fluff here? Anyone? I'm writing this review from the front seat of an ambulance right now at work so I got the hookup. Seriously, this continues to be wonderful.
I even liked the introduction of Karen here. As lovely as them falling for each other is, it seems there's at least one spot for tension to really round out this story. Good for Pam to stand up for Jim. She's got his back and I'm 100% here for that. Also good on Jim to stress that Karen's the EX-girlfriend. Well done Jim on making sure Pam knows where he stands.
The texting through the week and Sunday afternoon/evening dates are delightful. And it's nothing to grand or anything like that which makes it more sweet. Just a simple drive that turns into something more than simple. Love that they have the courage to start admitting feelings early on.
This kisses though were just sublime. Shades of the "Weight Loss" proposal scene maybe? Can't wait for more.

This is my first college AU, and it’s really cute. Looking forward to reading more!! Love how it’s starting out, so cute and sweet!!!
I have to add/say... being a Californian myself, but from from Northern California ;and even if it’s grammatically incorrect, I’ve never know anyone from Northern Cali to put “the” before referring to a highway. However those I’ve met from Southern California do use “the”. Lol
Author's Response: Haha! I guess it's even more regional than I thought. Thank you for reading!

“Somehow this did not take my mind off of Pam Beesly.” When I say I laughed, I —
This is all so precious. They really feel like college kids. I love all the tentative longing coming through. The way they both think the other is cooler than they are - adorable. They already seem like such a good match.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I think it helps that I am also a college kid. Lol. ;)

Very excited to see more additions to the college alternate universe j&p. Can’t wait for an update!

This is cute! I liked the touch that they both feel like the other is a little out of their league, and the awkward but mainly undramatic baby steps they're taking towards getting to know each other better.
I am also amused to realize this makes Jim an Anteater. :)
Author's Response: Haha! Yes, AU Jim (and I) are anteaters!

This is staying adorable and I love it. They're so cute together in these first stages of their relationship. I loved how Jim though she was out of his league. She's probably thinking the same thing. And they're easing into things nicely. A shared "couch" to study and friendly conversation. There's nerves aplenty, but it also seems that they can forget about those nerves too and relax with each other. Wonderful to read. Good on you Jim for getting the courage to ask her to dinner. I'm sure she was just waiting for you to say something like that. Can't wait to read where we go from here.
Author's Response: That was something I really felt in the show, both feeling at different times that the other one is out of their league. Glad you liked it.

You write the beginnings of a relationship/crush so perfectly! Super believable and cute. Like Jim wanting to text her but not sure if it’s weird or how to go about it. I’m so excited to read the rest!
Author's Response: OMG thank you so much for saying that! I was so concerned that it wasn't realistic, and I'm quite glad to hear that it is.

Very cute! Also fun to see a more assertive Pam with nothing really holding her back, not making Jim take all the leaps here.
Author's Response: Thanks! I love me some assertive Pam.

Okay, hard yes to the locking eyes across the room as a first meeting.
“You could be friendly more quietly,” Angela mutters” Oh, I love that Angela is Pam‘a friend, but still so delightfully Angela.
“I really want them to melt some more” Me too. Sign me the hell up for that.
“Whenever we FaceTime, she shows all of them to me and has me talk to them” Not me doing this to all my friends. I feel so seen.
This is such a sweet start! I’m so excited to see where you go with this.
Author's Response: Thank you Jenna! I was lowkey calling myself out with the FaceTime comment as well. I always welcome getting to see other people's pets, although maybe not quite as many as Angela has.

Yayyy! I’m so glad this is up! (TWSS?) I love it, I love the college aspect, I love how real their first interactions feel...I love all of it. :)
Author's Response: Haha, that TWSS might be a bit of a stretch, but then again, so is what I just said. Lol. Thanks for all your support!

I am all aboard for wherever this is going, Pam and Angela's friendship is an interesting twist, but it weirdly fit, so good job there! Of course Jim and Pam hitting it off was really cute, and I definitely look forward to more of their interactions.
Author's Response: Thanks, DG! I love the Pam-Angela dynamic on the show, and I think that if Angela lived in California she would be just open-minded enough to have a real friendship with Pam. She's still very Angela though ;)

I am a sucker for a good college AU and for Jim and Pam immediately recognizing their connection. Looking forward to seeing where you're going with this next!
Author's Response: Thank you! We really get the sense from the show that they hit it off instantly, and that's really fun to incorporate, especially with Roy out of the picture.

Ok so, this is officially adorable. Love a good meet-cute like this. The instant connection they share is just lovely. I also kind of like the fact that Pam and Angela are friends here. Maybe a little reluctant, but still friends. Let's see other things I like. that both Pam and Jim are single when they meet. That's always fun. So yeah, this looks all sorts of promising and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
Author's Response: Thank you as always, warrior! Angela is definitely the character I most identify with, so I always looks for a chance to write her in. Hope you enjoy the story!
