SPECIAL MENTION: To Sara Koch, on behalf of Naked Art Photography, who sent me the original photo and a web release for it to be used in digital format ONLY and allowed me permission to use her beautiful photography as the cover art for this story on this site. Not that the characters look like this but I love the pic, period. THANK YOU, SARA! You are GOLD!! :)

ALSO: continue this first draft AT YOUR PERIL!! There's a re-write coming REALLY soon. So if you want to continue with this version it's pretty flawed. You've been warned.

*DISCLAIMER FIRST!* Hello everyone :)

Okaaay, I found my old flashdrive a while back full of stories started but not finished. This was one of them but I've not felt confident enough to post another story on here so I've been stalling, but i'm gonna do it now because, well...life's too short to be scared what people think of my other writings. I'm doing it now because I suddenly have the balls and I might not have them later if i wait a moment longer so, here's one of them. This story has been on my flash drive for ages. There's nothing paranormal about this one, it's just a straight-up non-teen fic. You may or may not like it but that's cool, but if you do, show some love and please vote for it :) I reckon it's time to test the waters with this one, feel free to give it a chance...so here we go...

Oh, and if you're familiar with me or my work already you'll know I write long chapters and I curse and so do my characters. If you have a sensitive disposition to that then piss off because I don't need it.

ETA: I have recently seen a rise in readers from the States so I'm now getting this question A LOT. "What is a flatmate"? Well, being from London i had no idea what a 'Sophomore' was among many other American words, I turned to everyone's trusty friend Google to find out. But for those that can't be arsed, a 'flat' is another word for 'apartment'. So a 'flatmate' is someone with whom you share a flat, a living space, an apartment.

Lastly, as this story has found more readers I've seen a rise in negativity (that's the price you pay, I guess...). I've taken a lot of the negativity on the head, its a necessary evil, and being on wattpad has taught me alot in how to do that. I'm fine with criticism-I've already had a lot of it, it helps you get better-but I won't put up with nasty. So if you are unnecessarily nasty, prepare for me to be too or i'll simply delete your trolling BS and ignore you. You get what you give in this life, don't expect to be a prick without consequence, so don't be surprised if i'm a bitch to a bitch because if you think you have claws, mine are sharper *rarwwww*!!

Chapter One - Reunion

.

I was on the overground train that left from 12:19pm lunchtime when I looked at the email again. It had been just over a week ago that I'd received it and I was still looking over the words. I passed a glance down myself once more before I sat down just to be sure I wasn't overdressed.

The train announcer was sounding over the tanoy, and I took my earphones out just to hear it. I was running late, and I listened just to make sure they wouldn't aggravate me by announcing that we were either (a) being held at a red signal, (b) being held because a train was currently at the platform and needed to clear, or (c) that the train would stop a station or two short of where I needed to get off.

Luckily, it was neither of the three, it was just to announce that there were planned engineering works over the weekend so the line would not be operating. Well, couldn't care less about the weekend, I wasn't going anywhere over the next couple of days.
