"Hey, Delilah!"

"Hey, Delilah!"

I ignore whoever's calling me, since I know better than to stop walking because unless it's one of my friends, I would prefer not to turn around.

"Delilah! wait up!" The voice calls again, and I turn my head back to see Nicholas rushing behind me.

I still don't understand why he's talking to me, I mean after lunch yesterday we somehow had the same classes, and he sat with Catherine, Liam and I.

Then while I was with Catherine at the end of the day, because she was waiting for Katie and her boyfriend to come pick her up, He offered to walk me home, but I declined using the I'm waiting for my brother excuse.

I stop walking and wait until catches up with me, and then we both start walking beside each other.

"Is this the way you usually walk?" I questioned looking over at him, he must have been at least 5'9, so he's definitely not as tall as Patrick.

Why am I even thinking about him right now? We haven't texted since he phoned me out of the blue on Friday night.

"No. I go the other way. But I'm walking you home, If you couldn't tell."

"You seriously don't need to do that."

Nicholas shrugged, "I know, but I want to."

Why?

"Okay."

"Are you doing anything later? We could turn around now and go to my house? My parents aren't home."

I almost scoff at the idea. Yeah that is not happening.

"I'm busy later, Sorry."

"That's okay. You have a twin sister, right?"

I nod slightly, "Um, yeah I do. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, and she goes to Tommen I heard?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"And why did she leave BCS?"

"Because she just needed a change."

Nicholas nodded understandingly. "I needed a change too."

I turned to him, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Have you wondered why I'm suddenly in all your classes and why you've probably never seen me before Friday?"

Yeah I definitely did wonder that.
