William Dane, your typical college student living off scholarships and working their ass off to get where they want to. He moved from London 6 years ago but his accent is still very prominent. Sexy too.

April Long, your almost typical college girl but she has a history. A history no one would expect. She doesn't have many friend due to this haunting past. 

"Hey Will, when do your classes finish up? A bunch of us are going down to Hunters Tab for a drink later. Come with?"

"Yeah I finish up at 2pm, I'll meet you there"

My last class of the day is my writing class, I am an aspiring novelist and hope one day I'm as big as the greats. A new girl started and we've already gone through half the first quatre of the semester. I hope she catches up. She's a transfer, which is odd, this college is prestigious. She must be too.

Her hair is a long, pale blonde, wavy texture. Her skin, a sun kissed tan, dark freckles upon her face. She's short, roughly 5'3. She has a cute button nose and her eyebrows bleach blonde. She barely looks up while she takes a seat. Headphones rest on her shoulders. As she sits she places her laptop down.

We listen to the rest of the lecture, our professor leaving us with homework to write a chapter with a cliff hanger so good the person would beg to read more. Seems easy enough. She leaves quickly when we're dismissed. I try to catch her but she disappears into thin air. Who is she?

"Hey Will, how was you last class?" Dustin asks as he hands me a beer.

"Yeah good, good" I take a swig and continue chatting.

Lola-ann is here too, she's my ex. Mirabel, Jackson, Luke and Jerry. Everything is fine between my ex an I but every so often she's tries to get in bed with me especially when we drink at my flat. I mean she is absolutely beautiful but she cheated so why would I ever take her back?

Lola has now latched on to Luke, who recently just broke up with his girl. They've slept together a few times and I think she's fallen or whatever she convinces herself of. Luke has told me they've slept together a few times but he doesn't want anything else. I don't mind if he dates her but I know she's just a rebound. His ex was they love of his life, they were even engaged.

A shy blonde girl enters the bar, laptop clinging to her chest. Head down and hood on. Who brings their laptop to a bar? She orders a drink and sneaks to a corner booth, a bowl of fries and a pint arrive on her table minutes later. She sips and types away on her laptop.

A few minute pass and she removes her hoodie. It's April. She's sitting there with a small smile on her lips, staring into her screen. This is the first time I've seen her smile, it's cute. She finishes her beer and continues typing away. 

The boys and I continue drinking, quite heavily I might add. Luke and Lola get into an argument.

"Lola I told you when we first started... I never wanted to date. Especially date you... You're Wills ex, that's fucked. This isn't working. Can you please leave me the fuck alone? God!"

Luke storms out leaving a bewildered Lola at the table. I follow Luke and Lola runs to the bathroom. She's probably bawling her eyes out right now. I feel sorry for her but what did she expect? He just broke up with Lily, of course he's not ready.

"Hey man... you okay?" I ask Luke. He's standing out here smoking.

"I don't know what her problem is... I told her loud and clear that I didn't want a relationship. Yet she still brings it up. Fucks me off"

"Look man... she's a girl. They always gold out for relationships. Especially her. She's always had boyfriends. What you need is a girl who doesn't commits and only wants sex. Don't go for another friend. They just get attached"
