Chapter thirty

*LEA'S POV*
I was making my way to Dan's dorm replaying how I'm gonna apologize to him in my head. Maybe I should have just told him from the start.
I reached Dan's dorm, I think. I knocked and Eugene opened the door.

"Oh hey. Err.. Sorry I forgot your name" he said.

"Lea. And where is Daniel? I need to speak to him"

He looked at his watch. "He'll be here in about 5 minutes?"

I looked around.

"Wanna come in?" He asked.

"Yeah"

I went inside his room, typical boy room. I sat on a bean bag.

Eugene walked over to the mini fridge and opened it. "Do you want anything to drink? Coke? Water?"

"Water, please"

He threw me the bottle of water and I tried to catch it but I failed and I bet I looked like an idiot.

He sat on the bed and took a sip of his coke. "So you're the girl Dan's always talking about"

I sat there in silence, not knowing what to reply.

"So......do we shag now or?" He asked out of the blue.

I looked at him with a surprised face. "What the fuck?" I stood up and grabbed my bag.

"Come on, isn't that the reason why you came here?"

I was in shock. How could those words slide out of his tongue so easily?!

"I am not here for sex. I came here to look for Dan" I hit him with my bag and stomped to the door.

He burst out laughing "calm down. I was just joking" he was clutching his stomach. "Besides, you're not my type"

I glared at him.

"No offense" he added.

I kept quiet, not wanting to talk to him.

"Dan picked the right girl" He said and then Dan walked in.

"Dan" I said.

"Erm..hello" Dan replied awkwardly.

"Little miss sweetie wants to talk to you" Eugene said and winked.

Dan looked at me.

"Let's go outside and talk" I said.

Dan followed me outside and we walked along the path.

"So you wanna tell me something?" Dan spoke up.

"Yes, I came to apologize" I said. We stopped walking and looked at each other. "I'm so sorry about the things I said. Please forgive me?" I gave him an reassuring smile.

He smiled. "I can never stay mad at you"

"You know, I was thinking about us last night, maybe we can try work things out. Maybe I can try liking you."

"Perhaps" he joked and hugged me.

I let him hold my hands and we walked back to my dorm.

"My mum has this party thing tomorrow and I was hoping if you could be my date" he scratches the back of his neck "if you're free"

"Yes of course, I did say we can try. This is what normal couples do right?"

"Right, it's at seven tomorrow, I'll pick you up."

We reached the outside of my dorm.

"Good night" I said.

He leaned in and pecked my lips. "Good night beautiful"
