A/N: OH MY DAYS OVER 700 READS!! THANK YOU ALL!! REMEMBER TO VOTE AND COMMENT PLEASE!!

I woke up and the first thing I thought was: Why is my bed so comfortable? I took in my surroundings and panicked. Had someone kidanpped me and given me a massive room with a comfy bed? Then I remembered last night's events and sighed with relief.

Then I realised I was in Nathan's bed. With Nathan. As in, Nathan - the boy I hate. I tried to get up but a firm arm was wrapped around my waist. I turned my head slightly and saw Nathan's head resting a centimetre or two from mine. If you took away his lip ring, he looked really sweet. Wait? What? No! No! Nathan = Bad! Snap out of it Lexi! He has definitely drugged you. My guess is rohypnol...

I gently took Nathan's arm and tried to prise it off of my waist but I was no match against Nathan's iron grip. I sighed and tried one more time. Finally, Nathan budged his arm. I quickly got out of the bed. Now that I was out of the bed, I felt really cold. And I missed Nathan's hand around my- WHAT? No! No! No! Stop. Just stop Lexi.

I picked up my clothes and made my way to the door. I took one last look at Nathan and smiled before slowly opening the door and creeping out into the hallway.

This should be easy. All I had to do was to go down the stairs, open the front door, then I was out! Simple.
I began creeping towards the top of the stairwell when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. A woman in a robe raised her eyebrows at me. Must be Nathan's mum.

"Oh! Um, hello! I promise I'm not a burgular I'm a friend of Nathan's, I was just going, I swear," I gabbled.

"I know you're not. Nathan brings home girls all the time," Nathan's mom said tiredly.

"No! No! I'm not- We're not dating or anything," I explained.

"Nathan doesn't date. He has flings, love," she said.

"No, nothing 'happened', I swear. It's quite a long story. But I promise me and Nathan didn't do anything, Mrs Sykes," I defended as politely as I could.

"Is that why you're wearing Nathan's shirt?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"No. He just let me borrow it. If you want, I could change out of it and give it back. Then I'll leave straight away. Just tell him Lexi left a bit early because she had to get to her lecture," I said.

"Alexis?" she asked. How did she know my full name.

"Um. How did you know my full name?" I asked.

"Nathan's been talking about you a lot," she smiled knowingly.

"He has?" I asked worriedly. What has he been telling his mum?

"Don't worry! They've all been good things. Thank you, Alexis - I mean Lexi. I'm starting to see changes in him," she smiled thankfully.

"I don't understand," I said.

"Ever since the Vicky incident, Nathan's just gone off the rails," she shook her head. Vicky incident? Who's Vicky?

"Vicky? Who's Vicky?" I asked.

"Vicky was an old girlfriend of his. He loved her to pieces, bless him. Then... Then... You know what. I'll let Nathan, tell you the rest," she sniffed. It was obviously a touchy subject.

"Well, I'll be going now," I nodded awkwardly and began to descend down the stairs.

"Wait, Lexi! Do you have a car?" Nathan's mum asked me.

"No," I shook my head.

"How are you going to get home?"

"I was going to walk," I replied.

"Let me give you a lift. It's the least I can do," she smiled and began following me down the stairs.

"Thank you, Mrs Sykes," I thanked her politely.

"Please, call me Karen," she smiled.

She grabbed her car keys amd opened the door for me.

I bit my lip before following her. I got into the passenger seat and she drove off to the campus.

"Thank you, you really didn't have to," I said.

Karen shook her head, "oh no don't worry about it. Anytime," Karen smiled.

I gave her a small smile before we arrived back at campus, "thank you. Like, seriously, thanks," I said and got out the car. Karen smiled back at me.

"Anytime, like I said Lexi. And thank you too," she smiled.

I closed the door before I quickly ran back to the dorm. I raced into my dorm room and saw Brooke sleeping peacefully. I checked the time and saw that I had just over half an hour before the lecture. That should be enough. I managed to have a quick shower and shaved before getting out and wrapping a towel around myself. I did my normal morning business, going to the toilet, brushing my teeth and moisturising. I headed back to the dorm room and changed into my underwear and a pair of grey skinny jeans with a plain white t-shirt. I dried my hair with the towel and checked the time, 8:45am. Oh crap.

I slipped on my black hoodie and slipped on my shoes. I snatched my phone and bag from my bed before running back out of the dorm leaving Brooke who managed to stay asleep through my cursing. How? I will never know. I tied up my hair into a messy ponytail on the way to class.

I ran straight into the history lecture forgetting about getting a hot chocolate. I made it there just in time. My cheeks were flushed as I headed to my seat at the back. I sat down with a sigh, still breathing hard from the run.

Ben was already there and raised a questioning eyebrow at me. I still needed to learn how to do that.

"Overslept," I mumbled and pulled the hood of my hoodie down. British weather. Raining like most days and it was only the beginning of October.

"Alright..." Ben laughed and I noticed his face had a black eye with cuts. Oh yeah. The fight. About me. Oh great.

"How's your erm face?" I asked nervously as I wrote down some notes.

He shrugged, "alright. Nathan really knows how to hit. Apparently you two left together yesterday?" He asked.

I tensed up a little, "erm, yeah, he dropped me off at the dorm." I lied.

Ben nodded his head and gave a smile before Nathan walked into the lecture hall. Ben and Nathan looked at each other and nodded their heads but Ben seemed to have a small smirk on his face while Nathan glared at me. He plopped himself in the seat next to me.

"You left this morning," he muttered annoyed.

"Otherwise I was going to be late. Can we just forget about that? Please?" I muttered. He smirked at the last part. Then he resumed his annoyed look.

"You spoke to my mum," he whispered.

"Well, I was on my way out and then she was there. I couldn't just ignore her," I explained.

"What did she tell you?" he asked seriously.

"She just asked me who I was and then offered me a lift," I didn't think it was wise to tell him that his mum had told me about Vicky. He nodded, his face relaxing a bit. I was glad that I didn't mention Vicky. For once you have done something right, I thought.

"So, did you enjoy last night?" winked Nathan.

"Shut up, Nathan. I told you I didn't want to talk about it," I snapped.

"Whatever," Nathan smirked.

I sat rigid in my seat for the rest of the lesson before the bell rang. I quickly got my stuff and hurried out of the lecture hall and went straight to literature.

**Nathan's POV**

After the bell rang Lexi got out of her seat quickly and left.

I smirked at her retreating figure before looking at Ben, "Austin wasn't happy about yesterday but he's let it go. So how far did you get with her last night?" Ben asked, smirking at me.

"Very far," I lied.

"So, you actually did it? You and her? You fucked," Ben asked before laughing a little.

I nodded my head, "yeah. She loved it," I smirked.

Ben grinned, "Austin'a gonna be happy, I guess, I owe you but it's not over yet."

I shrugged, "I know. I can't wait to ruin her, she's so annoying," I laughed.

**Lexis POV**

"Where were you last night?" Brooke asked as soon as I entered the dorm.

I sighed and threw my bag onto my bed, "if anyone asked I was here last night, ok?" I asked. I let out a loud yawn.

Brooke went to say something else but my phone went off stopping her. I didn't check the caller ID before picking up, "hello?" I asked tiredly.

"ALEXIS RYAN! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CALL YOU SINCE SATURDAY! HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME!" My mother's voice shouted.

I winced, "mum... What Nathan said-" I started.

"Oh, Nathan? He has a name? I'm surprised you would know his name. I knew University here would change you! Sleeping with random boys! It's horrid!" My mother screeched, "I thought that you would have learned from when you were 15!" Brooke looked at me questioningly but I ignored it.

I frowned, "first off, Nathan was joking. And Mum, don't you bring that up," I said angrily. I was still ignoring Brooke even though she was waving her arms frantically.

"I can say whatever I want! I am your mother! I am disgusted with your behaviour recently! You need to sort it out-" my mother ranted but I hung up on her.

"Well that was interesting... So where were you last night? I was worried! I thought Nathan did something," Brooke said running a hand through her hair.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" I asked pleadingly. Brooke nodded her head, "well, erm... I stayed at Nathan's last night." I answered.

Brooke looked at me shocked, "really? Oh wow... Did you two have sex?" She asked bluntly.

I shook my head, "no! I just slept there but please don't tell anyone!" I pleaded.

Brooke smiled a little, "don't worry I won't." She said.

I sighed in relief, "thanks."

"So you up for watching The Vampire Diaries?" Brooke asked grinning.

"Do you really need to ask?" I smiled.
