Alec arrived right after our foods were served. He sat down right next to me, so I was in between him and Nick. The boys randomly talked about cars, the initiation tomorrow but not the specific details cos we were around with them. They talked about the recruits and mostly Alec was blabbering about the party tonight. Another party on weekdays.

Can't they just spend a night quietly?

"Ugh! You guys have been talking about cars for the entire dinner." Tracy whines.

I just kept twirling my finger around the straw and noticed that the three men were both quiet after Tracy whined about it. Though it was true, I just didn't bother it cos I dont want to say anything wrong that will make this night worst than that night when Nick said those words to me. Dinner was delicious though and I just focused on my drink.

All through out dinner, I was just observing Nick and I dont know why I was doing that either. He doesnt smile a lot even when he's with his friends and his voice is really deep but not gruesomely deep, more of like sexy deep and he's so secretive and mysterious. He looks so cool and is really intimidating at the same time. It's like there's more to him than just what he shows to us. He's perilously handsome when he's on side view, yeah maybe in any angle. Damn, his beard makes me wonder how old he is but it suits him though.

I noticed a lot of stuff about him while he was eating too, he smells his food before eating it, he keeps playing with his fork in between his forefinger and middle finger while he's listening to someone talking, he ordered orange juice so Im guessing he likes orange juice, he doesn't dip his fries on ketchup so Im thinking he doesnt like ketchup too, and he pressed his burger down before he ate it so it became a little slimmer. No guy I have ever seen to do that.

"Savannah, were you even listening to me?" Tracy snapped me out from almost admiring what Nick was doing the entire time we were eating.

"Sorry, what?" I asked her and feel the three guys looking at me.

I gazed at them then looked straight to Tracy, "You've been zoning out." she says.

"Sorry. I was just... thinking about something. What were you saying again?" I asked nicely.

"I said there's this party tomorrow for the recruits who will pass the initiation, do you want to go? Please go?" she asked me.

I pout. "I cant. My siblings are coming over tomorrow to pick me up."

"Oh yeah, Savannah said he had a brother." Clyde blurted.

"Really? Is he going or did he go to WSU too?" Alec asked.

"Well he--"

"Guys, stop butting in our conversation. It's girl talk. Will you please mind your own?' Tracy arched an eyebrow and the three men looked away.

"Thank you." Tracy said sarcastically.

I smiled as I take a sip from my juice.

"So this brother of yours, what's he like?" she asks.

"He's pretty tall. A jerk too like any other brother." I said, forgetting that Nick was Tracy's brother.

"True. I totally agree to that. Im glad we share the same agony having older brothers." Tracy gazed at Nick who gave me the look while Alec and Clyde were laughing on their seats.

I bit my lower lip and just continued sipping on my juice.

"Is he old? How old is he?" Tracy asked with a smile.

"He's twenty-five." I answered.

"Oh! Just a year older than Nick." Tracy chimes.

My eyes flared for a moment, damn he's that old? I gazed at him and he looked unhappy when Tracy brought up the topic about his age. I noticed that Alec was gazing at Nick too then at Tracy, Clyde was just staring on his drink and she realized that she said something bad.
