SAVANNAH'S POV

I missed my first class today but it was alright cos it was worth it anyways and I'm still not over the fact that I just allowed myself to let Nick have sex with me as much as he and I wants to. My brother will kill me if he'll know about this and I'm doing it with a frat guy. I haven't seen Nick around the campus too after he dropped me and Tracy off the dorm a while ago.

My mind was floating the whole day. I was thinking about Nick and when we will be finally doing it. I was physically present in my classes but I was mentally absent cos I'm imagining Nick and how kissed me that night. I could still feel his lips and I always smile at myself when I remember how it tasted. He was such a great kisser.

I walked out of my class and I was thankful that the day was over. I'm tired and I haven't had enough sleep cos we left too early a while ago. The only problem I have right now is I need to borrow a book at the library for my research but I can't borrow a book cos my library card is suspended.

Damn it.

Why did I ever forget to return that novel back before its due date?

I decided to go to the library anyways and to take down notes instead. While I was on my way, I saw Billy and he hurriedly ran to me. He smiled at me while he was fixing his backpack then his eyeglasses. "Hi."

"Oh you got a new set of glasses." I said.

"Yeah. The old one was broken during the initiation." He answered.

I smiled at him. "It looks good on you."

"Thanks. So, I was thinking. How about you and...." He trailed off.

I stared at him eagerly but he was more focused on looking at someone from behind me. Billy didn't continue his sentence anymore and looked nervous right away. I couldn't tell who he was looking at, maybe it's some group of frat men from afar.

"Billy? What were you about to say?" I ask.

"I... uhhh... well, I'll talk to you later Savannah! I forgot something." He waves at me then runs away from me.

That was weird.

I turned around to continue walking but I jumped back when I saw a very tall entity blocking my way. I pulled my head up and found Nick. It was Nick. His facial beard first caught my attention and then my heart raced right away when I stared at his lips then running up to his intensely blue eyes. He was also looking down at me and I just can't read him even though I've already kissed those lips.

"Hey." He speaks.

"Hey." I smiled tight-lipped.

Now Im wondering if he was the one who Billy was looking at a while ago.

"Going somewhere?" he asked.

For the first time he's asking me where I am heading to. God, I should kiss his lips more often so he'll be a little concerned for me.

"Library. Need to write down my research for this book in English." I said.

I feel the both of us starting to walk together now. Slowly. Tiny little baby steps. For some reason we were walking as if we were waiting for the other to take a step. We were in synch while walking and I don't know why he's walking with me but he didn't talk to me anymore.

"We have weird conversations." I snorted.

I watch him while he pulls his head down and smiled. "We do have weird conversations."

I slightly smiled.

"Tracy told me to pick you up cos she wants you to join dinner with us again tonight." He added.

"Oh." As far as I remember, Tracy doesn't know my class schedule. I never told her about it and she never asked for it too.

"Are you stalking my class schedule?" I teasingly asked him and I think he was embarrassed. Or maybe not.
