eleven - hey princess

A few days had passed, and the next challenge wasn't due to start for a little while yet. So the inters had a few days to pass. Cora hadn't seen Stuart in a while, or any of her team for a matter of fact. She'd hung out with Neha for a little bit one evening but that was it. She was just sat in her room, bored, and she had no more studying to do, so she just lay there.

She was laying on her bed and starring up at the celling, wondering what to do with her life. She sighed and then sat up abruptly, which made her head go a little dizzy, then started walking towards her door. She decided to go out for a wonder.

She reached for the door handle, pulled open the door and she was greeted with the face of Stuart Twombly himself. His fist was raised as if he was just about to knock on the door, he was wearing his usual attire, just a different colour than the last time Cora had seen him. His black eye had now almost disappeared, leaving just a faint bruise, and he actually wasn't wearing his beanie.

"Hey princess." Stuart smirked jokingly, leaning against the door frame.

"What do you want? And please don't call me that." Cora rolled her eyes and folded her arms, although she liked that nickname somewhere deep inside.

"I just thought we could hang out, I'm bored, you look like you're bored. So yeah. Plus, we're dating." Stuart winked.

"We are not dating. It's just some stupid plan to help me get rid of my dick of a boyfriend." Cora pointed out. "But I wouldn't mind hanging out, I'm bored out of my mind."

"Whatever you say babe," Stuart bit his lip, it made Cora's heart jump in her chest. She wanted to slap herself for that. "Let's go."

"Stop enjoying this so much, asshole." Cora stepped outside the door and shut it behind her, but Stuart didn't make any effort to move away. Cora's back was firmly pressed against her closed door, Stuart was towering over her and he was very close to her. So close that when she looked at him, her eyes would go out of focus.

"I could never." Stuart smirked, and it made shivers go down Cora's spine.

Cora couldn't tell if Stuart was actually being serious with all of this flirting, or just taking the plan way to seriously.

"We're not going to get anywhere if you don't move out of the way." Cora sighed and looked up at him with a glare. Stuart didn't say anything, he just stepped back and began to walk down the hall, waiting for Cora to catch up with him.

"Well come on then." Stuart pushed his glasses up his face and grabbed Cora's wrist, pulling her along a bit so they were walking the same pace.

"Where are we going?" Cora whined.

"Outside."

"No shit smart ass."

"Well, if you take the 'M' out of smart and replace it with 'T U' you get Stuart and that can't have been a coincidence." Stuart shrugged, the two of them reached the elevator to get down to the ground level so they could go outside.

"You're so full of yourself, you're worse than Graham. And trust me, that's bad." Cora said as they both stepped into the elevator, the doors closed and they pressed the button for the ground floor.

"Oh, so those are the type of guys you like, right? Guys who are full of themselves?" Stuart laughed.

"What? If you're implying that I like you then you're wrong." Cora shook her head. "Stop it, stop acting like this."

"That's just how I am, sorry." Stuart shrugged.

"You were so different the other night by the bridge, almost likeable." Cora mumbled, hoping Stuart wouldn't hear her.
