fell asleep. I felt better after
my conversation with Lukas but I couldn't shake the feeling that something
wasn't right with Isaac.

 
    Chapter
Seven
    The next
morning, I was watching crappy morning TV when Lucy sat down next to me. "Hey,
did you have a good night?"
    "Don't
ask" she replied.
    "So
that's a no then, are you okay?"
    "I
haven't decided."
    "What
has he done now?"
    She blushed,
"Who?"
    "Dan,
was he being a douche last night?"
    "When is
he not being a douche?"
    "True.
So what did he do to upset you?"
    "I don't
even want to waste my breath on him."
    "Do you
need me to kick him in the balls for you?"
    "I
already did."
    I laughed, "Good.
What did you end up doing in the end? You were out pretty late."
    "Um, we
just had a few drinks and then I stayed to watch some band play." She
stood up, "Do you want a coffee?"
    "No
thanks, I'm leaving for class in a minute."
    "More
for me then."
    ***
    I was on my
way to class, making a mental note to kick Dan in the balls when Isaac called.
    The
wanderer returns.
    "Hello"
I answered.
    "Hi,
gorgeous."
    "So, you're
alive then."
    He laughed,
"Wait, let me check...yep, I have a pulse."
    "Excellent"
I replied, sarcastically.
    "What's
wrong?"
    "Nothing."
    "Okay, you're
doing the dartboard thing again."
    "What
dartboard thing?"
    "When
you pretend that you're okay but you're not. You really want to put my face on
a dartboard and aim for my eyes."
    "Maybe
you're the one who's pretending to be okay."
    "And now
you're using reverse psychology."
    "Why
would I use that?"
    "Why wouldn't you use it?"
    "Okay
smartass, why didn't you call me last night?"
    "I was
really busy then I fell asleep, I'm sorry."
    "Busy
doing what?"
    "I've
got a lot of things to take care of these next few weeks. Anyway, enough about
that. What did you get up to last night?"
    I paused,
debating the best way to tell him about my trip to see Lukas.
    "Are you
just going to ignore me?" he asked.
    "No. Can
I see you tonight? I'll tell you then." I wanted to speak to him about it
face to face rather than over the phone. Then I could also ask him why he was
acting so weird yesterday.
    "Of
course."
    "Are you
sure you're not too busy?" I asked with a little too much sass.
    "Nope,
I'm all yours."
    ***
    I arrived at
my lecture ten minutes early so decided to catch up on some reading from last
week. I only managed to read two pages before Hollie came rushing over to me. She
had a huge grin on her face and I could feel the excitement dripping off her. "April,
you need to get your ass outside now."
    "Good
morning to you too" I replied.
    She sighed,
"Good morning April, you need to get your ass outside now."
    "Why?"
    "There's
an insanely hot guy that you need to see."
    I raised one
eyebrow, "Last time you said that, it was Dan."
    She laughed,
"Dan's a solid eight out of ten but this guy's off the scale."
    "Well
thanks for the update but the lecture's going to start soon."
    "Get
your priorities straight, woman."
    "Ohhhh,
you're right. Who comes to University to actually study?"
    "I'm
always right, remember?" She winked at me but I had a feeling that there
was some kind of hidden meaning behind it. "Fine, don't go. He asked for
you but if you don't care then it's not a big deal."
    "What do
you mean he asked for me?"
    Hollie
laughed, "Woops, did I forget to mention that?"
    "What
did he say?"
    "He
asked if I knew you. I told him to wait outside while I checked if you were in
here. I didn't want to blow your cover in case he's an ex or something."
    "Or a
stalker?"
    "He's
gorgeous, who cares if he's a stalker? He can stalk me any day."
    "Who the
hell is he?"
    She giggled,
"I didn't ask for his name, just his number."
    I sighed, "What
does he look like?"
    "Hot."
I waved, indicating for her to carry on. "Around six foot three, black
hair, green eyes. Wanna know the best part? He's covered in tats, full
sleeves."
    "How old
is he?"
    She shrugged,
"A few years older than us, maybe."
    I stood up,
having a sneaky suspicion of who it might
