Chapter 7 - Content

I woke up on Monday morning feeling surprisingly refreshed, considering I was pretty sure that I had a concussion on Friday night. And I was tremendously thankful for not having remembered my dream this time.

My head suddenly flooded with images of the weekend, of Will, and of how I'd only met him exactly a week ago today. Yet somehow, I felt immensely close to him already, as if I'd known him for years. He was my knight in shining armour, and within the space of the week, he'd saved my life and we'd kissed. Wow, what a week.

I wasn't sure how I'd act around Will today, or how he'd act around me, but I somehow felt the desire to put a bit of extra effort into the way I'd looked today. I jumped out of bed, took a quick shower, and dressed in a black mini skirt, coupled by a tan cropped off the shoulder knit, and black ankle boots which had a slight heel. The perfect outfit for another overcast yet warm spring day. I did my make-up and hair as I normally would, before grabbing a quick bite to eat along with my bag, and headed for the door.

I unnervingly realised when I was about two minutes' walk from the lecture theatre, that both Will and Joel would be in this lecture simultaneously. Despite the fact that I hadn't seen Joel in it last week, likely because I hadn't met him then and there were about one hundred other people filling the room.

I opened the door, looked around, and instantly spotted Will sitting about mid-way down to the right-hand side of the theatre. I made my way down towards him, with a smile that I couldn't restrain beginning to pull at the sides of my mouth, not being able to contain the contentment I felt about seeing him.

"Hey." I said as I flashed him a flirtatious smile and sat down next to him.

"Hey." He replied back, returning a flirtatious smile of his own. Oh, there go those butterflies... "How are you feeling today?" He asked me as I put my bag down, fumbling through it to get my notebook and pen out.

"Surprisingly fantastic. I don't know what was in that tea Will, but it sure worked." I said with a hint of inquisition.

"Secret ingredient. I'd have to kill you if I told you." He replied, still holding that cheeky grin of his. I felt a vibe at his statement if just for a milli-second; an unnerving vibe. But that was immediately washed away the second I looked into his intoxicating genuine eyes.

During the lecture I found myself quite distracted by Will, whispering and flirting almost the entire time. At one point the lecturer even told us to be quiet due to our excessive giggling. There was so much chemistry between us though and I found it hard to contain. I was so side-tracked the entire time that I'd completely forgotten that Joel should have been there. Perhaps he was but I hadn't noticed as he hadn't come to sit near me.

Once class was over, I started heading to my tutorial, which I knew I'd see Joel at. "Miranda, I've gotta run, no more classes for me today. And my, um, parking runs out in about five minutes, but I'll see you tomorrow?" He told me, before we stepped outside. My heart sunk just a tiny bit, even though I knew I'd see him tomorrow.

"Sure, um, seeya then." I replied, anticipating a hug from him, but instead he hesitated and discretely looked over his shoulder, before flashing me a gorgeous smile and turning around to walk off. I felt a little disappointed, and studied him as he threw his hood over his head and paced off into the distance. Strange, I thought.

As I walked into the tutorial, I felt a tiny flutter of those butterflies at the sight of Joel, noticing that he was sitting in the same spot he was last Monday. Despite my overwhelming emotions that Will had caused me, Joel had still managed to peak my interest too.
