SAVANNAH'S POV

Almost six in the evening, my classes for Friday was done. I threw myself to the bed and I was dreaded for a five straight days of continuous exams. I haven't had enough sleep lately and I feel like I need sleep. Like a long sleep. I even think I lost weight. Though it wasn't really some major exams but I still need to pass them cos I don't want to do some extra credit in the middle of the semester and Im not used to failing anything. My body feels so tired and my heavy eyelids are closing and closing and closing, almost about to shut until the door opens wide and my eyes opens wide as well, it was Tracy.

"Oh gosh it's just you." I exhaled.

She smiles at me and enters the room.

"Tracy you need to come with me."

That voice.

Nick starts walking inside the room right behind her and then glances at me. He shuts the door close and I was still lying down on the bed. He looks at me and I was looking back at him as well. It has been almost a week since I talked and saw him. I was a little bit avoiding him cos I was trying to stop myself from falling in love with Nick, though I kept on thinking about him and checking his Facebook at night when he's going online. He isn't really active on Facebook, his profile picture is a picture of a baby, Im thinking that was him.

"Nick I really can't." Tracy starts grabbing stuff from her study table.

I wonder what they are talking about.

"You okay Savannah? You look zombie mode." Tracy said with a smile.

"Yeah. Just a little tired." I said.

I gazed at Nick and slowly pulled myself up from the bed since I felt awkward that I'm lying down on this bed where we first had sex. Gosh. He's still looking. I gazed at Tracy and since she was facing her back at me, I looked back at Nick.

"I miss you." He mouths with a smile.

I smiled at myself. No matter how hard I try to keep my heart sealed from Nick and turn it into a rock so I wont get swept off my feet by his words, I still end up failing. I may haven't seen or talked to him for almost a week, but I miss him too. Damn it. But he just said the perfect words, he said he miss me. But did he really say I miss you? Does he miss me or having sex with me?

Don't be flushed about it Savannah. He missed the sex obviously and not you.

"What's.... Uhhh... Nick doing here Trace?" I ask. Obviously trying to suppress my smile from my face.

Pressing my lips together as I gaze at him and he's still smirking. He loves watching me suffer like this and making me feel uncomfortable.

Oh god don't smile Savannah.

"He's out to buy some things today and he's forcing me to come along with him but I can't cos I need to meet my group for research." Tracy says.

She looks at me. "Oh since you're already here, can you please go with Nick for me?"

My eyes dilated by what she said. I gazed at Nick and he is still God damn looking at me. Is he even blinking? Did he even look away when I looked away?

"Me? Why?" I ask as I was looking back at Tracy.

"He needs someone's advice on picking some things and since you're the closest girl I know that can somewhat take my brother's moodiness, please go with him?" She begs.

"Uhh..." I trailed off.
