VAUGHN

I blink away those memories as she pulls back."Are you still working on it?Your inner self?".My eyes widen and I smile brightly.

Locked away in my studio closet is an art work.Its a sculpture that I've been making since I was 15 years old.Its a sculpture of everything meaningful to me and everything I cared about collages together.

I nod my head and she gasps."You're telling me that I was the one who got you into art?".

I nod my head again and she punches my shoulder lightly."This is crazy.I didn't even know you went here.When I found out my favorite painter was teaching at Callister I had to transfer here so I could get into her class.Thankfully the headmaster let me in and I start on Monday!".

"I'm in her class"."You're joking!".

I shake my head and she laughs."How do you know each other"Jaiden asks.

Zia points at me and says "He tackled me to the ground".

Everyone looks at me confused and I roll my eyes.

I glare at her and says "you were standing on the train tracks and a train was headed straight to you!".

"I was taking a picture of it with my camera"she says rolling her eyes playfully.

She turns back to Jaiden and says"Either way.He told me the story about him having a fight with his parents and running away and I told him about my family.And then he told me how he couldn't express himself and I told him about art".

"Hold up so you're like his..muse??"Olivia says shocked.

"l would go along the lines of inspiration"I say glaring at Olivia.

She rolls her eyes and says "Same thing"."Not the same thing"Me and Zia say at the same time.

She smirks at me and says "interesting.You know ive seen your work in London museums a lot".

"Maybe that's what got PSA on my radar".

She freezes and slowly looks up to me."You got an offer from the PSA?".

I nod my head and say "A full ride.Im going there in the fall"."You're fucking joking".

"Nope"."Vaughn that's like amazing!Like Amazing amazing.Do you know how much PSA will put your career on the map!Just you being a graduate from PSA will get you a lot".

"I know".

She steps forward and says "I'm also surprised that you're not taken yet".

i could feel Lake tense up beside me."Actually-"."-I'm his girlfriend"Lake says coldly.

Zia looks over at her and says "Really?For how long".

Lake's eyes narrow and she smiles."Does it matter how long?All you need to know is that he's very much taken".

"Hmm so it isn't serious".
"It's very serious you fucking cu-".

"-Woah!You know I would love to show you around the campus!Give you a nice rundown of here"Zoe says quickly.

"I'll help"Olivia says.

They both grab each side of her arm as Lake glares at her coldly."Right..I guess I should".

She starts to walk away when she calls out my name.I turn around and she looks at me."I saw you still went the Train tracks.All of it".

My eyes go wide before she gives me a sad look and walks away.

After I met her I still went to the train tracks.It became abandoned so I would just hang around there.Sometimes I would draw there.

But most time I would yell and cry there.It had become my vulnerable place.

LAKE
I watch Vaughn's face morph to sadness when she says that.He clears his throat and says "I better get going".

"I had no idea about it"Banks says.
"Because I was getting away from you"Vaughn says coldly.

Banks eyes go wide as Vaughn turns away.He walks away and I follow after him."We never got to finish our conversation"."I thought me kissing you was the end of the conversation".

"And yet you never kissed me"."I didn't?".

I shake my head and he chuckles.He cups my face softly and moves a hair strand behind my ear.

"She was my inspiration but you...you little ruin are so much more"he whispers.

My eyes soften as he smiles at me."My beautiful muse"he whispers against my lips.

My heart flutter as soon as his lips touch mine.I deepen the kiss as he pulls me closer.

"Take this back to your place little muse?"He whispers.

"Tempting offer baby.But I have a meeting with my professor".

He frowns as I peck him on the lips."Okay.You'll come over to my dorm?"."Do you want me to?".

"I always want you to".

I smile at him as he kisses my forehead and releases me.i wave bye to him and start walking to the science building.

"So what do you think of our new student?"Jaiden asks me.I give her a look and she laughs.

"I'm glad we are on the same page"."Se are?".

Jasmine nods her head too and says "I don't like her either.Its just something about her.It gives me red flags you know?".

"Well the fact that she all touchy-touchy with a guy she hasn't seen in years is one thing"Zoe says.

Olivia points to her and says "No the fact she saw yall walking over holding hands and she still did it the red flag".

I nod my head as we sit down in the park bench."I'm getting so close to Vaughn fully opening up to me.I can see him getting more vulnerable around me.So maybe-".

"-He can tell you what really happened with him and Banks?".

I nod my head and say"I want to know so that I can help him move on from it.Whether that be through cutting his brother off or finding a way to forgive him.Whatever Vaughn wants I'm all for it".

Zoe smiles at me and says "I can't believe it.Can you girls"."Believe what?".

"Oh mere months again you were the most delusional bitch I've ever seen.And now look at you"Clay says proudly.

I flip her off and Zoe chuckles."You were delusional as hell thinking you and Banks would've worked.Aint no way in hell".

"Why didn't you tell me?"."Girl we bloody tried but you wouldn't listen!"Zoe hisses.

Jaiden pats my shoulder and says "At least you know it now and are better.Right about now you would be heartbroken over Banks breaking your heart.But now look at you all happy and glowing".

They nod in agreement and shake my head."I was in love with his brother but I realized that Vaughn could treat me better"

."What?".

We all turn around to see Zia starting at us."You were interested in that crazy sociopath?".
