Chapter 14- Back

"You okay"? I asked opening the front door of the house. Lucy was still shivering a bit. She nodded.

"I'll go take our clothes for her wear. You make some hot chocolate for her." James said to me and went to my room. We decided to bring Lucy at my house since she didn't want to go home. I rushed to kitchen to make some hot chocolate for her. It took me 5 mins to make a cup. She was sitting in the living room. I handed her the cup and James came with a blanket and clothes for her to change. It was hard to look at her scared and shivering figure but I sucked it up. It's not the time to think about those thoughts Susan! She needed us. And we got her!

"What happened?" I asked finally. I still can't get it. Why would somebody push her into the pool when they know she can't swim. Or maybe they didn't know that she can't swim. But still why push someone? How can anyone be so mean? and evil?

"I..I don't know. I was just talking but than suddenly this girl came from behind and pushed me." She said looking at the cup embarrassed. I scooted closed to her.

"It's okay. It wasn't your mistake." I said trying to calm her.

"You don't have to worry. I already gave her a piece of her medicine." James said resting her head on the couch. Ah yes she slapped her. Lol. I already saw it coming honestly. James has always been like that. She don't like when someone messes with her friends. I chuckled to my thoughts.

"What was her name?" I asked. I don't even know her name.

"Linda." Lucy whispered. She knows her? Before I could ask she gave the answer I wanted. "She's in Bio class with me. That guy..... he's her ex. Maybe she saw me with him that's why she pushed me in the pool."

"The guy you were kissing?" I asked making sure. Ah why am I so slow witted, I thought to myself. She nodded. "What is his name?" I asked getting curious. We never get to know his name.

"I don't know." She replied. Huh?

"You don't know the name of the guy you were kissing?" I asked a bit shocked. Why did she kiss him when she don't know him. Or atleast she should have asked his name if she doesn't know him. I mean why would you suck someone's face without even knowing them?

"No. Uh it was Uh I was drunk and he came in kitchen and we were talking and then we kissed. I didn't get to ask his name." She explained. Hm okay. I see.

"Linda is his gf. Present tense." James concluded. "She pushed you because she was mad that you were with her boyfriend. That bitch and that asshole. Imma teach a good lesson to him when I find him." Lucy continued.

"You don't have to do anything James. Linda will teach him a lesson herself I guess. And Lucy you don't have to blame yourself for anything. You didn't know he was in a relationship. But be careful from now." I said to both of them. Even if he was her bf, she doesn't have any right to take her anger out on Lucy. I concluded. It was his fault. Why was he going around and getting his tongue under other girls throat. Huh!

"You guys gonna sleep in living room?" Sienna asked. Huh how long was she standing there? With the expression on her face, she heard quite a lot. Lucy looked at her perplexed.

"Ah she's Sienna. She takes care of the house." I introduced her. Lucy smiled at her.

"We'll head to bed now. You can go sleep Sienna." I smiled at her. She smiled and nodded and went to her room.

"Imma head to home. Lucy can stay here. Bye. Sleep well both of you." With that said James left. I thought she would stay with us. There is something that is bothering her but I didn't get time to ask her what. I sighed.

"Bye." Me and Lucy said seeing her off. "C'mon let's head to bed" I guided Lucy to my room. James cleaned the room when she came to bring clothes for Lucy. Ah my bestfriend.

"I'll go change." Lucy said heading to bathroom. I changed too into my lovely PJs. Ah nothing is more comfortable than to be back home. I got in the bed. Lucy came out and laid beside me. This is my first time to have a friend over other than James.

"Ah today was a hectic day." Lucy said closing her eyes.

"It was indeed." I said closing my eyes getting ready to sleep.

"I want to thank him." Lucy murmured.

"Who?" I asked

"Luke." Lucy whispered.

"Hmm." I hummed drifting off to sleep. He does deserve a thank you after all. I guess he's not that big a jerk. With these thoughts in my head I slept peacefully.

** ** **

We were walking to our first class today. Business. Lucy headed to her bio class. We were a bit early so the classroom was pretty much empty. Students were getting inside and taking there seats. We sat on our usual seats. The boy sitting beside us was taking a nap. I wanna take a nap too. I put my head down on the desk to take a sweet quick nap. I couldn't sleep well yesterday. Lucy was snoring. Like literally, maybe she was really tired. But I can't sleep in snores. Being a light sleeper didn't help at all either.

"Didn't sleep well?" James asked taking out her notes.

"Nah. She was snoring a bit." I said yawning. She chuckled. I was on the verge of falling asleep but our professor entered. What a perfect timing!

"Had a party yesterday? You people seems pretty tired." He remarked. Every hummed. He chuckled and continued. "I have some papers to look into. I'll be back in 10 mins. Take rest till than." He said and walked out of the class. Wah!! I immediately put my head down again.

"Imma go to washroom." James whispered. I heard her footsteps leaving the classroom. There were whispers and murmurs in the classroom. Then I heard a voice from behind me? or beside me?

"How's she now?" He asked whispering.

"Better." I murmured. WAIT WHAT!? I opened my eyes and all I could see was these beautiful green eyes. He sat straight and so did I.

"W-What are you doing here?" I asked confused. He wasn't in this class before.

"Studying." He replied staring at my face. Or more like 'Studying' my face. Suddenly it's getting hot in here. Keep your cool Su.

"You changed your subject?" I asked raising my brows.

"Nope. I just didn't attend this class before." He shrugged. I don't know why but everything about him gets on my nerves but calms me down at the same time. Like a blanket in summer. Soft and comfortable but irritating too. All these thoughts and feeling doesn't make sense, atleast not for me.

"Whatever." I huffed. He chuckled. Huh?

"What you laughing at?" I said narrowing my eyes. He better gets scared of me.

"You are cute." He said. I diverted my gaze. Whatever. I shrugged.

"I know." I said and took out my notebook. I could feel his eyes on me. Why can't he just study if that's what he is here for. James came back. I have never appreciated her presence as much as now. She looked at me then looked at him.

"Hmm?" She quirked her brows.

"Hey." He greeted her. She crossed her arms. Still standing. Wow she can be pretty intimidating. Only if I could be half as intimidating as her! "I couldn't attend this class before due to some work." He explained himself. Heh. I guess even he was scared of her. She stared at him for good 1 minute and sat down.

"Be careful." She warned him. Hmm. Is there something I don't know about? I nudged her with my elbow. It's good that he is scared of her but he saved our friend yesterday so she don't have to be this harsh on him.

"She's better. Thanks to you." I replied with a small smile to his earlier question. He nodded still staring. Our professor entered at the right time. Rest of the was pretty uncomfortable. He kept peeking my way and I was self conscious the entire time. How am I suppose get through college when he is in 2 of my classes. Atleast he didn't try to make a conversation during class. Not that it made his eyes on me feel any better.
