-Joe POV-

I roll over, awakening from my sleep. I just had a good dream about finally finding a perfect boyfriend.

I look at the clock next to my bed, and immediately jump out of it, already looking for some clothes to wear.

10:15? How could I sleep in so late? Class started 15 minutes ago! I guess I slept through my alarm. Shit, I'm going to be so late and probably miss everything.

I quickly grab all of the things I need for my literature class and bolt out the door. I've already gotten in trouble with the professor once, I do not need to again. I start to sweat.

As I rush down the hallway, I double check to make sure I have everything. How embarrassing would it be if I showed up late and unprepared?

I quickly sort through everything I'm carrying. Paper, pencils, book- I suddenly collide with what I assume to be another person.

He trips after the collision, and starts falling. I go to catch him but don't make it in time and he lands on top of me.

Great, I'm late to class and now also have a bruised back. This is only going to make me later.

"Shit, I'm so sorry, bro." He says as he scrambles off of me. I just grunt in return. When he fell on top of me I felt all of my things go flying. Does the universe want me to be as late as possible?

But- hold on a second. I know that voice from somewhere. But I just can't place it. It's kind of deep, with a twinge of an accent. But from where?

He's now fully off of me and is standing above me, offering me his hand. My eyes are a bit blurry, so I couldn't place the face even if I tried.

I take his hand and pull myself up, rubbing my backside with the other. I finally get a good look at him and at first I think he's gorgeous. But then I yank my hand away.

I stumble backwards as my heart starts beating hard. What the fuck is he doing here? Seriously, why does the universe hate me? Wait, did I call him gorgeous? What the fuck?

After helping me up, he immediately went to go help me pick up my stuff. He now looks over at me, and raises an eyebrow.

"See a ghost?" He jokes, chuckling a bit. He reaches for a pencil across from him.

"Yeah." I say back. "Caspar the unfriendly ghost." He was the reason I practically quit high school, he bullied me every day!

He looks up suddenly. "Wh-" He starts, but I've already taken off running. Thought of class has escaped my mind. All that is running through it is Why the fuck is he here?

Now that I think about it, I remember him saying he was going to the same college as me. I remember how I almost applied to a new one.

I remembered how on the first day, I was terrified. But then realized he wasn't in any of my classes. I notice how he slowly slipped my mind.

"Hey!" He calls, not so far behind me. He quickly catches up with me, and grasps my arm. I flinch away.

I slowly turn back toward him, my eyes closed. "Just- please do it quick." I whimper. Just when I stopped getting used to how he beat me up every day.

"Hey." He says again, softer this time. "I'm not going to hurt you." I open one eye tentatively.

"Wh-what?" I question.

"Look, Joe, I know what I did to you was pretty fucked up, but I promise I will never do anything like that to you ever again." He pauses for a second. "I mean, unless you're into that." And then he fucking winks at me.

I just stand there, open-mouthed. "What?" Is all I can say. He sighs and runs a hand through his blond hair.

"Look, I was pissed at how hot you were. It was unfair. So I wrongly took out that anger on you."

I just raise my eyebrows higher, mouth still wide open. "I... Caspar-"

"I know!" He sighs. "I know. I'm sorry."

"No, no." I respond. "It's just- I mean... I find you gorgeous as well," he smiles at this, "but I don't know if I can look past... you know." His smile drops.

"Yeah." He replies. "Well," he writes something down on a piece of my paper with one of my pencils, "here's my number. Text me whenever."

"Okay." I smile. And then I go to reach for my supplies, this morning seeming distant. It then hits me. "Shit!" I yell out.

"What?" He asks, amused.

"I still have to get to class. " I start to run down the hallway again. "See you later!" I yell. I could've sworn I saw him bite his lip.
