Seven.

"You guys have really hit it off with the guys", I said.

Me and the girls were on our way back to the residence after lunch.

"Guys, I think I'm in love with Reece", Olivia blurted out unexpectedly. "Call dibs on him by the way", she said making us laugh.

"I call dibs on Luke then", Anabel smiled at thought of him. "What about you, Belle?".

"Nah. I'm not there yet. They're good guys though", I said smiling. "'Kay. I'll go take a nap. Come find me 3.30? Wake me up if I haven't. Mwah", I said disappearing into my room and falling asleep as soon as I touched my pillow.

I was sitting on his lap.

The sun was shining, the sky was the brightest blue you've ever seen and the birds were chirping.

"If you could wish for something right now, what would you wish for?", he asked me.

"That I could stay here with you forever", I responded. "You?", I asked looking up at him.

He thought for a while.

"That you and me could run away together. Have a fresh start. Go somewhere nowhere knew who we were".

I looked up at him. I looked at the side of his face and tried to remember every single detail of it and him.

"What are you doing?", he smiled, looking at me with loving eyes.

"I'm trying to keep you in my memory forever", I said.

He smiled and kissed me on the lips, leaning down towards me.

I suddenly woke up dumbfounded. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my head.

I'd just remembered the first thing about my past after having woken up at the hospital.

But what did this mean? Who was that guy? Was he my boyfriend? Where was he now? Was he my ex boyfriend? Was he alive?

I had more questions now than I did before. I wished none of this had ever happened to me. This was all so confusing.

"You awake?", Anabel suddenly opened my door with a knock. "Time to get to class sleepy head".

And with just a smile from my part, I watched her get out of my room.

At Musical Theory, our professor gave us some pretty exciting news I'd been secretly hoping to hear.

"I know this is musical theory but you'll all have the opportunity to practice a little bit with whatever instrument you play and even get to compose a small piece that will be the most important part of your grade", he said giving us all a warning look.

But my inner cello nerd could not care less, my inner cello freak squealed with joy.

The real surprise was when I arrived to Photography on Wednesday and saw James there.

He wasn't sitting where every other student was. On the contrary, he was up front with a couple more people.

I recalled what Luke had told me about them only missing HoA from first year, so there was no way he was taking this class with me.

What was he doing here then? It seemed as he was following me everywhere I went.

"As for these fellows, they're volunteer helpers that will be guiding you throughout the subject. Listen to them. You won't regret it. They're all second year students so they know what they're talking about", Professor Hopkins answered my unasked question. "You've all been assigned to one of them so after a little theory you're all free to go outside the classroom to try and get your perfect shot for this week's assignment which you will have to hand over next Wednesday. Any questions? Let's get started then".

Yeah. Professor, why do you hate me and assigned me to James? Can I change of helper? Please?

"Let's get going", James told our little group of 4 as he led the way towards the campus grounds. "This week's project is 'Inner Feelings'. Now, you have to represent in a single picture what you're feeling. It can be any feeling you like, you could've felt it in the past or you could be feeling it right now. Don't be scared. I'll be helping each of you in turn. Any questions?".

"Can it be a college?", I inquired.

"As I said, single picture", he pointed out sourly."Alison, I'll start with you", he said coming up to that girl and leaving me completely enraged.

I think I knew what my picture would look like: A canvas encrusted in the middle of James' head. Yeah, I could start there.

"Hey Belle", Reece opened up for me after I'd rung the bell at their house after class.

"Hi Reecey", I smiled at him. "Is Tom here?".

"No. Everyone's still in class. It's just me and Charlie here", he informed with that northern accent I loved so much.

I could listen to him talk all day. I sort of had to remind myself to talk when I was around him.

"Is everything alright?", he asked me.

"Yeah...  Just wanted to talk. It's alright", I shrugged my shoulders.

"We were just making Nutella waffles. Wanna come inside? I can always make you some tea", he offered pointing towards the kitchen.

"I guess a little cup won't hurt", I said as we both laughed.

No one could say no to that.

"Look who I found", Reece announced my presence to Charlie back in the kitchen, who was just finishing the waffles.

"Hi Bella-Bee. You alright?".

"Needs some cheering up this one, I think", Reece said already working on that tea.

"Well I have the perfect remedy", Charlie cheekily smiled at me as he handed me a plate of freshly made waffles.

I laughed, already feeling better as I sat down to eat.

"What's wrong babe? Boy problems?", Charlie asked.

"Yes and no. It's not like that. It's about James", I cut straight to the point.

"You fancy James?", Charlie asked with absolute no discretion.

"Hell no! It's just he treats me like shit every time he sees me. And I haven't done anything to him. I can't understand him", I explained.

"The guys told us something about it", Reece admitted.

"Have they found anything about it? Have they talked to James?", I questioned them.

"Nah. James has been in a sucky mood this whole week. He's never been like this. He's always been the cheerful one who's most of his time cracking jokes", Charlie told me.

Great. So it's definitely me.
