Theodore Scott

Theodore laid on the bed, waiting while reading a book from the shelf.

Isabella came into the room. She looked almost sad. That she saw Theodore on her bed. That was when Isabella looked mad. Angry.

"What are you doing in my dorm? How are you in my dorm? " She asked him, "and what are you doing with my book?"

He was quiet. He didn't respond to her. She was yelling at him. He just looked at her with no emotion. Waiting for her to be done.

He was just thinking and questioning about things around him. Why is there a loveseat in her dorm? Why is her dorm so much bigger than mine? Why is she still yelling? Why is there so many bruises on her body? Did she have a bad fall? Is she that clumsy? Was she being hit at home? By her boyfriend? By her mom? No, that can be.

"..my door was locked! So, how? How did you get in my dorm!?" she was panting. Out of breath by all the yelling.

"Are you done?" he questioned her. She just looked at him without saying a word. "Alright then. Professor Collins pulled me in before detention and told me that we have to do a project together." He lied. Collins didn't ask them to do a project together. He didn't ask to do the project at all. He just needed to know why there were so many scars and bruises on her body.
She looked furious. Angry. She started yelling again. Bloody hell. He continued waiting for her to stop yelling.

After a few minutes she stopped yelling. "You questioned me how I got into your dorm, yes?" she nodded. "I picked the lock. I can do it within a snap since there's so many locked doors in my house. It's not hard after a few tries." he was about to walk out the door, "oh and meet me in the library at 22:00 to start on our project."

Isabella looked mad. And he knew why. 22:00 was curfew. When everyone had to be in their dorms. Theodore liked to be a rebel. But, not Isabella. She didn't like breaking the rules. He knew that by just his first day of class.

She was yelling at him again. But, he closed the door.

After dinner Theodore was in the lounge area with his friends, waiting to go to the library to meet with Isabella. He needed to know more about her. To know about her scars and bruises.

His friends, Cole and Anabelle, were playing a video game and everyone else was playing card games, board games, or talking with each other.

Theodore was bored. He didn't like video games. They seemed so boring to him. He liked to see it first hand. Not through a game. Through a movie. Through someone he knows. He was amused by watching action movies. Somehow he felt happy about it.
Theodore got off the sofa he was sitting on. "I'm going outside." he told Cole and Anabelle. Without waiting for their response he walked out of the room without another word.

When he was outside, on the courtyard. He grabbed a cigarette and a lighter from his coat pocket. He put the cigarette in between his lips and lit the cigarette. While he was smoking and looking around him, he spotted a girl looking at him. He looked at her and she looked away with a shy-like smile.

He smirked. He liked it when girls looked over at him. He felt powerful. He blew out the smoke and checked his watch. 21:48 it read. He put out the cigarette and threw it on the ground. He looked at the girl with a smirk and walked back inside.

The girl was following him. He didn't even have to look back to see that she was because he could hear her giggling. He walked in the library, so did the girl. She closed the door behind her.
