great sense of style when it came to clothes. He dressed more for his own individual style, which was more unique and suited his personality.
    “He may even sparkle too.” I laughed too loudly at my own joke, before cringing slightly. I tossed the sweet wrapper into the bin, making a mental note to buy some more later.
    “Hey, I’m Elijah,” he said smiling. “Do you fancy hitting the canteen? I have a craving for chocolate fudge cake that needs fulfilled.” He widened his eyes, as if to emphasise his need further.
    He was a man after my own heart. I think I’d officially found my cake soul mate.
    “I’m Izzy,” I said smiling. “After this morning I need the extra sugar to get me through this afternoon.” It had been a long morning and I was expecting the afternoon to be even slower.
    “Yeah, it’s going to drag, I’m going all out with the carbs, then get sleepy and doze for the rest of the afternoon.” He grinned, beginning to chuckle.
    I couldn’t help but laugh along with him. “Sounds like a plan.” I smiled, looking up into a pair of cheeky, warm, chocolate brown eyes.
    He was going to be a lot of fun, I could just tell.

    Walking into the cafeteria the tables were already beginning to fill up fast. I looked out onto a sea of faces, only to spot the blonde guy from earlier.
    Seriously?
    I snapped my head back round just in time. I knew I had to keep a low profile, if I stood any chance of escaping his creepy clutches. I just hoped fate would be kind, but it always had a nasty habit of kicking me in the teeth.
    I discretely stood behind Elijah, shamelessly using him as a human barrier, as I monitored the enemy. He hadn’t noticed me so far, he was completely caught up with the buzz and chatter on his table. His laughter was loud and could be heard from the other side of the room. He really didn’t care about all the stares he was attracting. I was slightly envious he had the ability to just enjoy himself, without worrying about the attention he created.
    We grabbed some trays and worked our way along. The mixture of different aroma’s filled the air. My eyes widened passing each and every plate. I started loading up my tray, with all the necessities. I definitely needed them to get me through, what was looking like a long and arduous afternoon.
    I looked over at Elijah and chuckled, his tray was loaded with every form of junk food imaginable. I guess he really was going down the death by carbs route.
    Both our eyes widened approaching the cake section. We stood contemplating but the decision was taken out of my hands the moment Elijah nudged me, grinning wildly. He pointed towards the ultimate indulgence, hot chocolate fudge cake with cream.
    I needed that in my mouth now.
    We zigzagged our way through the crowded tables, scanning the room looking for an empty one. Elijah tapped my arm and pointed to one by the far corner. We manoeuvred by the last few tables and I unwillingly caught the attention of the blonde guy from earlier on.
    Oh god no.
    His smile dazzled me and he winked as he mouthed the word ‘fate.’
    I inwardly grizzled.
    If fate were a person right now, I’d punch them in the face.
    Shaking my head in irritation I quickly scrambled after Elijah. We sat down opposite each other, unloading our trays. Our eyes grew bigger at the feast set out before us. I began unwrapping my sandwich as Elijah chuckled, taking a long sip of his drink.
    “What?” Oh god did I have something on my face? I brushed my hand repeatedly over my skin, in an attempt to remove the offending article.
    “Somebody already has an admirer,” he chirped in a singsong voice. A huge smile broke out over his face, as he leaned back in his chair, with his eyes monitoring my reaction.
    Why me?
    I scowled and grabbed my drink, quickly unscrewing the cap. “He’s not an admirer, he helped me find the lecture hall this morning.” I took a long, hard swig of my drink, so I didn’t have to elaborate
