I sighed loudly and jumped on Cole's bed.

"You're done with everything?" He asked me, looking up from his phone.

"Yup, submitted everything." I told him and faced him.

"Saw you talking to the Mr. Stone Face. What did he say?" He asked me, still looking at his phone.

"He asked me my name." I trailed off, remembering how close he was standing behind me and how my name rolled off his tongue.

"And you told him?" Cole asked me, looking at me with an unreadable expression.

"Well, yeah. He told me his name too." I pointed towards Cole who nodded.

"What was his name?" Abby came in just as I said it and sat on the free chair in Cole's bedroom, looking at me expectantly.

"Nicholas." I repeated his name and liked how it felt to say it. Classy name, me like.

Both Cole and Abigail repeated his name at the same time then looked at me for more information.

"What? That's all I asked him. He looked like he was someone important though. He had one of those black and gold cards, he used it to pay for his coffee." I told them. 

"Don't you know him? You usually know every important person there is." I looked at Abby who just shrugged.

"I might've heard of him but I don't remember mch right now. Oh, and before I forget, I booked a booth for us at the club tomorrow." She told us and both Cole and my head snapped towards hers.

"How did you manage to book anything at all?" Cole asked her and she gave us a wicked smile.

"I have my ways." She grinned.

The next day, I came out with Abby from our psychology class and saw Cole already leaning against the hood of his blue car. 

"Hurry up, ladies!" He called to us, waving his hands frantically and then running over to us, taking our bags and tossing them into the trunk. 

"What took you guys so long?"

"Sorry Cole, Professor Roland made us wait extra because he couldn't remember what assignment he was supposed to give us." Abby told him and he nodded in understanding, sitting in the car and we followed suit. 

We were out of the college's parking lot and on our way home, singing on the top of our lungs to our favourite songs.

Before the clock struck 7, Abby was already rushing here and there, getting ready to go to the club. I was lying on the couch in the living room with my legs in Cole's lap, reading a book while Cole watched television.

And no, Cole wasn't gay. He was just very friendly with us. Just us though.

"You guys!" Abby came and put her hands on her hips, snatching the book from my hands and turning of the television. 

"We're going to be late! Get your asses in the shower. Now!" We both snickered at her before she shot us a glare and we both scrambled off the couch, running to our respective rooms to get ready.

"You guys have less than 20 minutes to be standing at the front door!" I heard Abby call out as soon as I came out of the shower, and walked towards my closet. I put my hand on my hip, examining my clothes.

"Wear the new dress we bought, you looked so hot in it." Abby walked from behind and took out said dress from my closet and placed it on the bed.

"Why don't I just wear my pantsuit?" I asked when she rolled her eyes.
