After hanging out in Gigi's room until I was practically rabid with starvation, we headed to Slice of Heaven Pizza shop to grab an early dinner and meet up with Milo.

My phone began to vibrate, and I couldn't help but smile when I glanced down at my phone and saw a picture of Lucas flash across the screen. He must have added himself as a contact while I was still asleep at his place.

"Hello?"

"All right?"

"Umm... I'm fine. How are you?"

"I've had bugger all to do all day. I'm bored," he groaned, and I shook my head even though he couldn't see me.

"And that's my problem?"

"Beef is at the gym, and Noah is studying with some bloke from one of his classes."

"Maybe you should study. Do you even go to any of your classes?"

"When I don't have anything better to do."

I rolled my eyes at his careless attitude. "You're going to end up losing your student visa."

"Are you going to miss me if I get shipped back across the pond, love?" I could hear the smile in his voice.

"You wish."

"What do you know about eyeliner?" He asked.

"Um... I think you would look like a pirate."

"Not for me. For Laney."

"Oh. Why are you buying Laney makeup?"

"Long story. Can you meet me over at the store on Laymen Road?"

"I'm kind of busy."

"Was that a car horn? Where are you?"

"Avoiding my new roommate at all costs. I'm walking to Slice of Heaven to grab some pizza," I replied, omitting the fact that I'd be meeting Milo.

"Brilliant. I'll be there in five. My shout. I owe you for not giving you a proper breakfast this morning."

"Actually -" The line went dead before I could make up an excuse for him not to show. I frowned as I shoved my phone back in my bag.

"What was that about?" Gigi asked with more enthusiasm than necessary.
