Chapter 1
“Lucas … Lucas.” Lucas laid softly on the right side of the bed, not moving. His pale chest soft moved up and down with his breathing. His hair in a mess, like always.
Lucas and I have been dating since junior year in high school, now him being a sophomore in college and me a freshman. Our relationship isn’t perfect, it never was. But, we are slowly making it better. Well, I do most of the fixing.
“Babe”. I reached for his shoulder as I tapped him only making him twitch.
“I’m going to be late babe”. My voice went higher seeing him squeeze his blue eyes, his arms stretched in the air as a slow yawn left his mouth.
“What time is it?” Lucas has the cutes morning voice, one of the things I love about him. I pointed at the alarm clock that was set on the night stand: 7 am.
“Are you ready?” He stood up from the bed; seeing he only slept in his boxers last night.
“Yeah, now let’s go.”
“Wait your wearing that?” (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=94395446v)
“Yeah, why. What’s wrong?” He stood up from the bed reaching for his hoodie that was on the floor and his Levi jeans.
“Babe your showing your stomach.!” Did I also mention he’s very … protective?
“Come on Lucas, it’s too early for this”. He sat down on the edge of the bed; taking his converse and slipping them on one by one.
“I’m not leaving until you change”. I didn’t want to ague and I didn’t have the time; I instantly went inside my closet to find something. (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=94396228 )
“That’s sort of better”. I rolled my eyes as he grabbed me from my hand and pushed me toward his soft chest. He softly planted a kiss on my forehead and then let go.
*Arriving on campus
“Still want me to pick you up after wards?” From what happened in the morning, I kind of don’t want to see him.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll walk”. Lucas unlocked the door, stopping the car in front of the school campus.
“Alright, I’ll see you umm later” I nodded as he grabbed my chin and gave me a kiss. I smiled as I opened the door getting out. Waving back to him, and entering to my first class, mathematics.
The campus was filled with people, especially for a Saturday. I grabbed my iphone and connect my earphone placing them in my ears. I scrolled threw my music list picking a Lana Del Rey song. Looking up to see the traffic before me; I locked my eyes on a familiar face. Ricky.
“Ricky!” Ricky turned around; he still looked the same. Long brown hair and dark hues. I walked toward him giving him a hug.
“Long time no see”.
“Tell me about it”. He starred at me for a couple of seconds, making my cheeks turn red.
“What?” He placed his hand behind his head giving me a “thinking” look.
“You look different”.
“It’s the hair”. In high school, my hair went through some experimentation from black to aqua blue to black again. Now, it’s just plain blonde (except my roots are showing).
“What class do you got?” We began to walk toward the same direction, he was still the same. Goofy smile and very very nice hair.
“Calculus AB. And you?”
“Oh, I don’t have classes today. Just came to check out some books”. We reached the mathematics classrooms; a large building maybe three stories high.
“I see you’re still a book worm”. The comment made him laugh.
“Yes and proud. Anyways I have to go. But, I’m throwing a party later today.”
“Are you informing me or inviting?”
“Both, you should bring your boyfriend along”.
“How do you know me and Lucas are still together?”
“I had a feeling… You still have the same number?”
“Yup”. Grabbing my phone.
“Alright ill text you the address”. I smiled seeing him wave goodbye and disappear behind another school building. Ricky and I were best friends in my sophomore and junior year of high school, but we kind of stopped talking after I got a boyfriend.
*Class finished
I made my way into the elevator that took me to the first floor. The lesson today was pretty easy except the professor talks to much for mathematics. I had to sit next to this guy who was blasting his music so loud, pretty annoying. I got to the front of the school, remembering that Lucas wasn’t going to pick me up. I softly tapped my forehead, I hate walking.
“I should take the bus”. I looked inside my bag searching for my wallet, nowhere in sight. I heard some voices behind me, seeing it was a group of guys talking about Ricky’s party.
“Really”. I really did not want to walk; the apartment isn’t too far, but I hate doing anything that makes me sweat.
“Alright I’ll see you guys later”. A blonde guy said giving some handshakes around the group and grabbing his backpack to reach for his keys. He turned to look at me and I immediately made contact with my pack back. That’s when it hit me; he’s the guy I sat next to in class today.
“Hey, you have my Calculus class!” He said pointing with his left hand. I just nodded and began to walk down the sidewalk.
“Hey, you walk?”
“Yup”. He gave me a confused look, yes I am in college and yes I don’t have my license.
“You need a ride? It’s pretty hot today?” I don’t know him enough to get a ride from him, which was pretty weird for him to ask.
“My name is Niall . If you were wondering”. I guess he read my facial expression.
“So, you are…”
“Faye” I replied, seeing him let out a low laugh.
“You have a funny name”
“How is it funny?” He shrugged making a movement that meant “follow me”. I hesitated for a bit, but really I don’t want to walk. I let out a puff, walking behind him toward the student parking lot. Stopping in front of a white Range Rover.
“Get in” He said with a smile unlocking the doors, I hopped in. He turned on the engine getting out of the parking lot and stopping in front of another Range Rover saying some last words to his friends and then entering the street.
“So, Faye . Where do you live?” He grabbed some dark shades that laid on the cup holder and put them on, not taking his eyes of the road.
“West Wing Villages”.
“I know where that is”. He smiled again; the car ride was quiet even with his music blasting. This boy is going to make me lose my hearing. I heard two phone vibrate I instantly checked my bag and saw a new message; from Ricky. We stopped in a red light; Niall reaching for his phone and checking, did we get the same message?
“I’m guessing you’re going to Ricky’s party” I guess we did get the same message.
“Yeah are you?” Even though I knew the answer; overhearing his conversation with his friends.
“Yup, I haven’t seen you around. Are you new?” We entered the village I lived in; Niall stopping in front of the apartment entrance.
“I’m a freshman this year”.
“That makes sense; I’m a sophomore by the way”. I barely noticed the small accent he had after the word “sense”. It was sort of British and Irish. It was cute.
“I guess I’ll see you tonight”.
“Yup” He unlocked the door with the button that was on the side, I stepped out about to close the door.
“Thank you … for the ride”. I gave a smile seeing him reply with a warmer smile, that’s when I searched his features; light blonde hair, dark greenish blueish eyes and red cheeks.
“No problem Faye.” I smiled one more time entering the apartment building and taking the elevator to the fifth floor. I reached for the door that was already unlocked opening it seeing Lucas nowhere in sight. He’s probably with his friends.
I made my way into my room throwing my bag onto my bed that was still a mess; I grabbed my blonde hair into a loose bun, taking of my shoes.
“Who was that?” I jumped seeing Lucas’s large figure leaning next to the door frame.
“You scared me”. I placed my hand on my chest feeling my heart beat really fast.
“You haven’t answered my question”.
