To Sebastian, Tara is a rich, spoiled girl, obsessed with her looks and status.
To Tara, Sebastian is a rude, arrogant...

On the first day after the break, Leah is back from her trip to Mexico, and chatting with her before our first lecture keeps my mind off Bast.
I wish focusing on General Psychology were easier. While a very sleep-deprived Leah yawns, taking notes, I blankly stare ahead of me and only start writing things down when the class is nearing its end.
I'm tempted to borrow Leah's notebook as soon as the lecture is over, but professor Lee's voice rings in the lecture hall. "Miss Mitchell, please stay."
Leah grabs her purse, glancing at me.
"Later," I mouth and dash down the steps to exit the room. We only have one class together, but she'll tell me everything during our usual Monday meeting at the coffee shop.
The buzz of students' chatter in the hallway isn't loud enough to silence my thoughts, which keep returning to last night when Bast slept in his room again. He behaved as if the hand-holding and star gazing didn't happen, and I pretended that the change in him didn't affect me.
"Tara!"
I turn at the sound of Sadie's voice and plaster a smile on my face. She's not the cause of my moodiness, and I feel guilty for not having coffee with her earlier.
"Hi." I give her a brief hug. "How was your break?"
"I have news." Sadie beams. "How about coffee?"
"Sure. I'm free until eleven, and I need to wake up."
"We should be allowed to have a mini-break to recover from winter break." She grimaces. "Post-vacation Mondays are brutal."
I laugh. "They so are. Canteen?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
The crowd in the hallway dwindles, and only a few people are ordering when we take a table at the canteen. Sadie gets lattes for us and gives me mine before sitting across from me.
"So, what's your news?" I ask.
She twirls a strand of her blond hair around her finger. "Connor asked me out, and we started dating a few weeks ago."
Connor, as in one of Sebastian's friends, a premed student like Sadie.
"He seems to be a good guy." I take a sip from the cup and look at Sadie over the rim.
"He's great. Talking about guys, guess who I ran into right before the break?"
The possibilities are endless. Sadie and I have lots of acquaintances in common.
"Tell me," I say.
She curls her hands around her cup. "Your friend Maverick. I was at the pharmacy, and he was there with his mother. I think it was his mother, anyway. I said hi to him and called him by his name, but he didn't seem to recognize me, and I made a fool out of myself."
