"Savannah right?" He asks.

I nod. "Yeah."

"I'm Aries. As much I want to shake your hand for formal introduction, I can't cos I'm driving right now." He said smilingly.

"Yeah I don't want to be on the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow for car crash."

He laughs deeply.

"So what's up with you and Nick?" Aries ask while he was busy driving me back to the dorm.

"Nothing's up with me and Nick. There's no me and Nick anyways." I snorted.

He chuckles while he turns to the left. He was holding the stirring wheel with one hand, I could see the muscles on his biceps flexing with the other hand holding an energy drink. He's handsome, okay. He's pretty hot as well and his jawline is making him so sexy. He's blond, so I'm thinking he's blue-eyed too. That's usually the combination on hot guys, as far as I know.

"He's hard to deal with." He says.

"You're not the only one I heard saying that. And believe me, I think so too." I said.

He cocked his head back while grinning. "But Nick's a nice guy as well. He's just distant sometimes and moody most of the times."

I smiled. "He sure is goddamn moody."

The car stops. "You're here."

I looked out and I was finally here in front of the dorm. He suddenly stepped out of the car and walked around to the passenger door and opened it for me. He was smiling. Oh god he's so good looking. "It's the least I could do." He says while extending his hand out.

I was smiling sheepishly while I accepted his hand. Aries helped me get off his car as he closes the door behind me. I pulled my hand away and he was pretty nice as well. "Thanks."

"Anytime angel. Go inside now, I wanna make sure you're safe in."

"Thanks." I repeated, I'm mesmerized by his smile.

"You've thanked me twice." He laughs softly.

I joined him laughing as well realizing how I'm being so clumsy right now and I was obviously acting awkward in front of him but he was just so cool about it.

"Goodnight angel." He says.

I kept cringing inwardly when I hear him calling me angel and I don't seem to bother about it at all. I think it's cute and it's weird at the same time cos I don't even know him but I can tell he's already nice and not as badass and coldhearted like Nick. Nobody ever tried to call me cute names. Not even my ex.

"Goodnight. And thanks." What the hell is wrong with me? I'm always thanking him.

He pulls out his hand with three fingers popping out while smiling. "Thrice."

I smiled. "Drive safely."

He nods.

I started walking away from him and headed to the dorm. I didn't take it really personally that he was being cute and all that but I just can't stop smiling and I don't know why I was smiling. I just wish Nick was as nice and as polite as Aries. But then I know he won't be.

Crap.

Crap.

Crap.

I'm running late for my first class, well I still have thirty minutes to look for my room but then I'm always used to being arriving in class one hour before the time. I'm not used to waking up not on the exact time I set my alarm clock. I shouldn't have gone out late last night. Damn it I don't know where I'm going either! I'm lost! I kept looking at the brochure and I just don't get it at all. Then all of a sudden this random guy bumped to me! Goodness can't this day get any worst than ever?!

Then I notice that a lot of stuff were scattered on the floor and it was mostly his things. I looked up to him and this semi-bald raven haired dude wore the baggiest shirt and pants ever! He was scared of something and he was in a hurry while picking up the tons of books, foods, bottled waters, soda cans, and bags on the ground. How come he's carrying a lot when he's also bringing a backpack behind him? How come he's got a lot of foods when he's actually skinny.

I'm terribly sorry." He

to help him on picking up some books. I noticed some had same covers but of different names. I look at him and he was sweating, panting, and scared. It was obvious from his eyes that he was scared of something and bumping into me was making him late or as if someone was chasing him. We both stand and I handed him the books. The skinny man had tons of books, foods and drinks on his grasps while a few black duffel bags were hanging on his arms.
