Thirty Four.

James' POV.

"You know I haven't spent so much time with a second year before", Milla said as I layed down next her on my bare back, looking at the ceiling.

"You're not opening up to me, are you?", I cheekily grinned at her.

It was impossible. That's why I liked this girl so much: No strings attached kind of relationship. I'd been over to her room a lot this past week.

Every time I needed to see her she was always available. If you get what I mean. "No, silly", she giggled, turning to look at me and tickling my chest as I put an arm around her.

We kept silent as I gently rubbed her upper arm and shoulder. We weren't much of the talkers sort. If I came to think of it, we didn't exactly have that much in common.

"I'm gonna get going", I said sitting down on the bed all of a sudden.

For some reason I suddenly felt trapped. I needed to get out of there and go back to the house.

"Okay, babe. I'll see you later", she pecked me once, surrounding herself with her bed sheets as she did so.

I winked at her and left the place in a rush after quickly changing into some clothes.

I was coming down the residence's stairs when I got to the first landing and saw Belle and her friends coming up them and making their way down the hall towards their bedrooms.

Luckily, they didn't see me since I was still coming down the flight of stairs from the second landing and stopped going down just in time.

I'm not sure why I did that but I didn't even want to see her. Enough that I had to see her at meal times since we all sat together at the cafeteria. Slowly without me even realizing though I was starting to find excuses to get out of those too.

"Where were you?", Tom asked me when I entered the kitchen for a quick snack after arriving at the house.

"Out. Why?".

"You didn't join us for lunch", he shrugged his shoulders.

"I was with Milla", I avoided his gaze.

"Oh", was all he could manage to say.

"With Milla?", I heard Jake ask behind me.

All the boys were sitting at the kitchen room table.

"Yeah, apparently her and James have a thing going on", Charlie said with a smug look on his face.

I couldn't help chuckling at their reactions.

"How is she?", Barcs asked me, fist pumping me.

"She's fine, mate", I responded as they all patted my back.

"Can't believe you've been shagging her without even telling us", Casey asked with a smile.

"I'm not a bragging man", I said and noticed Tom kind of silent.

"We were starting to thing this was about Belle", he then added kind of quietly.

"What about her?", I said involuntarily starting to get angry.

"You tell us", he confronted me.

"Mate, you were there the day I met her. She played 'bitch' card with me the second she layed eyes upong me", I defended myself.

"She was playing around until you were completely rude towards her", he refuted.

"True", Casey stepped in.
