After looking around for 30 minutes, we finally found Blake

We decided to leave the party shortly after.

A couple of minutes later, We're all back in our dorm

"That party was surprisingly fun."

Blake sighs and jumps onto her bed

She's right It was fun

Vivienne walks over to her dresser and grabs a pair of her sleepwear out. "I told you it would be," she says with a smile

I grab my change of clothes and walk over to the bathroom

I take a shower and do my night routine

I enjoy having a specific routine

One that I always follow.

Whether something or everything in my life crumbles into pieces

It's the one thing that can give me certainty

It's practically a distraction

After I'm all finished, I walk out of the washroom

The rush of cold wind hits me the second I step out

I walk over to my bed and lie down

I go on my phone until I drift off to sleep

-

Its the next day and it's about 2 pm

Blake went swimming practice, and Vivienne is visiting her parents for the weekend

So I'm alone until later tonight

I hear my phone ring, and I grab it

6 o'clock, your dorm, right?

Shit

The project

By the way, it's Leo

Yeah, I figured and How did you get my number

Rowan.

Okay

See you at 6

After seeing the text, I turned off my phone and turned on my computer

I put on Gilmore girls. It's practically my 5th time watching it

But it's my comfort series; I can't get tired of it

-

I've been lying in my bed watching Gilmore girls for hours

I hear I knock at the door, I go to look at the time, and I see it's 10 to 6.

I hear the person pound on the door before I get up to open it.

Leo.

He's wearing black sweats and a white graphic tee

"Took you long enough," he mumbles as he walks into my room.

I sigh and close the door

"You know you could've asked to come in."

"No, I couldn't" is all he says while he takes in my room

He walks over to the books I have on my desk

He runs his fingers over the books as he picks one up and turns to me

He holds it up "you read?"

I walk over to my bed and sit down on it "yeah," I say as I get comfortable

"Mhm" is all he says, looking at me in the eyes

"Well, let's get started," I say as I grab my computer

He quickly nods and snaps out of his gaze

He sets the book down and walks over to my bed to sit down beside me

I look over at him with a glare before I turn back to my computer

30 minutes later, we're still working on the project

Over time our proximity increased by the minute

His arm is slightly touching mine

It's awkward, but neither of us made an effort to move.

I move my free hand to the computer to click something, but suddenly I feel Leo's hand over mine

We both look at each other

Our eyes lock as we both look down

His hand over mine

"My bad," I mumble, looking at him and pulling my hand away

"Sorry," he says

Those Are the only words we both can manage to get out

Leo coughs and looks away as I do too

-

An hour passes, and we're still doing the project

We only find ourselves talking to each other when needed

Leo looks at me and sighs. "Okay, finish the rest another time."

Okay, that wasn't too bad

I get up, and Leo does too

I grab my coat as I've decided to get something to eat. Since Leo's leaving and we're done studying

Leo grabs his stuff as he looks at the coat in my hand

"Where are you going."

"Out," I reply, putting my shoes on and walk to the door opening it

"Out where," he asks as he walks to the door too

"Getting food," I close my door and start walking

He looks at me, and a slight smirk finds itself on his lips. You'd only notice it if you paid attention, " me too."

By the sound of his voice, I can tell he finds this amusing

"I don't care," I say as I walk a little faster

"There's only one place open at this time, and since we're both going to eat, I suppose we'll be seeing each other there," he says as he catches up to me

I stop and turn to face him "fine."

He stops to looks at me and smiles

I start walking again as he stands there "well, are you coming."

He smirks and walks beside me "yeah."
