Tess had informed us that Torah was now awake. She stayed in the hospital for 3 good days and we'd take turns visiting her due to our different class schedules. There parents flew back to Paris the same night after seeing her.

Right now I'm seated in the middle row of the class. The door opens and a figure I know all too well walks in. The girls opposite me start whispering something to each other while eyeing him up and down. Literally eye fucking him. I hear one of them say "his off limits, this one is mine."  And her friends agree but still look at him till he takes a seat in the opposite row from mine.

One of the girls gets off her chair, I assume she's the one that said that his off limits. She fixes her boobs which look fake 'no offense', before going in his direction. I watch as she stops by his desk, shakes his hand seducingly while probably introducing herself, she then bends over while whispering something in his ear and not even a minute passes by before she stomps back to her seat looking furious.

She gets back to her previous seat and the friends ask her what happened.  "He told me I probably looked better without the breast lift." And they all try to comfort her. "Did you manage to get his name though?" One of the girls asks her. "Yes he said his name is Adrian." She let's them know and giggles while they continue talking about God knows what. I pull my attention away from them and look back to where Adrian is seated and I see him already looking at me but he looks away once he sees me looking at him.

As if on Que, the lecturer walks in, the rest of the time in the class is a blur.

I head to the library after class just to catch up on today's lesson because I didn't understand a thing he taught. I find a spot to seat at and I pull out my headphones while listening to one of celin dions songs and going through my notes.

30 minutes into my study session, a chair is pulled out at the table I'm seated at and someone takes a seat. I take out my headphones to see properly, I don't know why I did that, but I couldn't see properly with my headphones on.

"No way" I whisper yell.

The librarian comes to my table and gives me a look that immediately makes me close my mouth.

"Zayne? What are you doing here?" I whisper and he smiles .

"Well I'm actually a student here now." He rubs the bridge of his nose and holds his neck while leaning back in the chair.

"Do you know where Tess is at?" He questions me.

"Yes I think she's home, Torah got discharged today. She told you about what happened to her right?"

He nods his head, " yeah she called me to tell me about it the very day it happened. I'm glad to know that she's now discharged."  He clears his throat. "And uhm- Adrian? Have you talked to him?"

I roll my eyes and he laughs at that." what is there to talk about?" I question him while playing with the pages of my book. "I think we talked about everything we had to and theirs nothing left."

"you should hear him out you know, his not as bad as he portrays himself to be." he let's me know and I just look at him not knowing what to say to him.

"Uhm I will." I let him know wanting to change the topic badly. "soo, how did you find yourself here?"

"I was fighting for a sports scholarship to study here and I finally got accepted. I didn't want Adrian to be here all by himself."

"so you knew that Adrian was coming here and you didn't let me know?" I question him with furrowed brows.

"Yeah Tess knew abou_" he stops mid sentence once he realizes what his saying. "Oh shit!" he yells and the librarian walks over to our table for the second time hopefully not the last. "I'll have to ask you to leave the library " she alerts us looking me up and down.

"okay miss do you have a tack shoved down your ass?" I question her. Mentally ofcourse.

I angrily pack the books that I was using to study into my bag and get up. "Please don't ask her about it. She didn't tell you because she has your best interest at heart. Please Zoe." zayne pleads with me while following me out of the library.
I don't respond because I'm really pissed with the both of them, mostly Tess.

I get to our apartment with Zayne still following me behind, he pleaded with me through out the way but I really want to find out why Tess did what she did,  why she lied to me.

I have never walked as fast as i have at this moment.

I open the door and I'm in shock with what I see. I stop at the door unexpectedly and zayne bumps into me which forces me to move forward a bit.

"what is he doing here?" is the first sentence I manage to let out. I'm very perplexed I can't believe what's in front of me. Seating in the living room is Adrian and Tess. One of Tess's hands is in Adrians and they are really close together which doesn't look good for either of them.

"what the fuck bro?" Zayne says and tries to launch at Adrian. I'm still looking at Tess with hurt in my eyes because she did not only hide that she knew that he was coming to study here, she's also lying about something else. "Could she be going out with him too? Despite knowing what he did to me? I just can't believe it, Tess of all people.

"It's not what you think" Tess says with tears rolling down her face. She looks at me and then at Zayne with pleading eyes. "I swear it's not what it looks like."

"You expect me to believe you of all people? Firstly you dont tell me that you knew about Adrian coming to study here and then this? You seriously expect me to fucking believe you?"

Adrian finally finds his voice "Guys lets first calm down"

"Shut the fuck up!" Zayne and I say simultaneously.

Kelly walks in exactly when Adrian decides to walk out. He bumps into her on his way out. "So you're not only a fucker but also a dupe?" kelly screams at Adrian while he walks away and zayne goes after him.

"Please Zoe, let me explain. "

"Get my name outta your fucking mouth. I dont talk to betrayers". I say and stomp off to my room and kelly follows a minute later after probably asking Tess what's going on.
