I rolled my eyes at the message and sipped my pumpkin spice latte - basic and boring I know I know but it was 3 days to Halloween! I needed to get in the spirit. Not that I would be doing much other than binge eating Reece's the best thing ever created.

Mia sat across from me and groaned at her phone.

"God you are so lucky you like boys they are so much easier" I chuckled softly watching her aggressively type at her phone.

Every one on campus was convinced Mia and Ollie are dating but in reality Mia likes girls and Ollie likes boys - so there was not a friends with benefits situation that everyone was making it out to be.

CHING

The cafe door opened and I looked up to see who it was - we were waiting on Ollie before heading to psychology.

To my absolute disgust it was a handsome 6'5 hockey player awkwardly swerving past everyone in the cafe.

Oh no

He was heading towards me.

Shit.

Shit.

"Hi Mia is it?" He said huskily

"Yeah why?" She replied looking him up and down with a cold stare

"I need to chat to Eleanor it will only take a sec" giving her the best fake smile he could muster.

Oh my god. Luke was determined to find me! No matter how far I went he was always a step behind.

Mia looked at me as if to say should I go? I nodded accepting my fate.

She stood up with a hoof " I'll be watching big guy" she warned him before heading to another table.

Luke attempted to squeeze onto the tiny chair Mia was sat on but his large muscly body seeped over the seat.

I stifflied a giggle when i looked how uncomfortable he looked.

Clearing my throat and raising and eyebrow, signalling for him to start.

"Ok well, Fuck. I'm not good with this" he shuffled around on his chair.

"Even though I have been in your life 7/8 years I know we never talked." I scoffed "I tried you never talked back" I pouted with crossed arms

"I know I know - and I'm trying to be less rude and more social - but the point is we never spoke okay? And we should have I think we would get on. I would like to be friends. I could be someone for you to rely on - not to look after you!" He added hastily.

"Just for example if you were at a party and you wanted to leave - call me and I'll get you - or you need help getting groceries call me and I'll help you"

I was in shock.

Why was he being so nice?

He would be there for me?

"and I'm sorry for what happened I shouldn't of touched you like that." His voice got quieter with every word of that sentence and I blushed a bright shade of pink.

We waited in silence.

"OMG of course we can be best friends!" I jumped and hugged him and he was tense but eventually hugged back.

"Friends" he corrected looking down at me with a worried look.

"Oh tamato tamaaaato." I said tapping his chest
