Chapter 6

'So O' wise one what is my first step in the process of getting over Logan then?' I asked Peter laughing. 'Well young grasshopper it takes time to get over a man.'

'Hmm it seems like you're speaking from experience Mr Anderson.' I tease making his eyebrow raise. 'Highly unlikely Miss Stone, now lets get you to class. Shall we?' He holds out his arm for me and I hook mine in his and we walk to English. 'Okay Miss Stone our first step is to survey the subject.' I looked at him in question. 'Survey the subject?' He huffed in annoyance. 'Yes survey the subject. You know see how he reacts to us being close.' I stop walking and just looked at him still rather confused. 'English please?' He sighed running his hands through his messy hair. 'We need to see if he still likes you.' He stated simply and started dragging me to class again. 'Ahhh and how do we do that exactly?' I question as we walk into the classroom.

We take a seat at the back of the room with Logan coming in after us, he winks at me and takes a seat next to us with Megan. Peter leaned over and whispers in my ear. 'How you ask? We need to see if he gets jealous of me being with you.' He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms casually. 'You're a genius Mr Anderson you know that right?' He grins before turning his head to stare at Logan who was rolling his eyes at whatever Megan had just said. 'Ready?' He mutters to me, licking my lips I nod.

'Nicolette I swear to God if you don't stop pouting I will have no choice but to kiss those delicate plump lips.' He says loudly enough for Logan and Megan to hear. 'Peter stop it, I'm blushing.' I laugh slapping his chest, he grabs my hand in his and brings me inches away from his face. 'Try that again love.' He said making my breathing hitch. 'Let go of my hand Mr Anderson.' I said confidently. 'Hmmm, make me.' His eyes never leave mine and I smirk at him. 'I would but we're in the middle of class so I'm afraid your consequences will have to wait until tonight.' A smile crawled onto his face and he nodded letting me know that my acting wasn't horrid. 'Well now I'm excited.' I pulled my hand back returning to my seat. 'That's what is meant to happen Peter but keep your excitement until later.'

'Oh I intend to Miss Stone.' I take a quick glance at Logan who has tensed up dramatically and his fists are clenched together, did I do that to him? He looks my way and we hold eye contact for a few seconds before Megan tugs on his arm and he looks away and I let out a content sigh. 'I think it's working.' I whisper to Peter who smiles but never looks at me, he seems too focused on whatever the teacher is saying.

After class I hug Peter goodbye in front of Logan and make my way to my dorm. 'Nic! Where have you been?' Calli says quickly running up to me. 'Well there is this thing for university students called class, you have got to try it!' I exclaim sarcastically. 'No Nic, I meant last night you were meant to be at Lucus' party.' Indiana said cutting in. 'I told you guys that I wasn't going because I spent the night with Peter remember?' They look cluess so I continue to explain. 'You know that I wasn't there, I waved you off.'

'So you don't know what happened last night then?' Calli said in all seriousness. 'No? What happened?' They looked at each other before Calli continued. 'Lucus dumped Megan.' I gasped.

 She's single? This never happens.

'Is she alright?' I asked, I saw her today and she seemed fine I guess. 'Yeah she'll be okay, she told me that she just wants to stay single for a while now to try and get over him.'

Yeah I wonder how long that will last.

'Maybe I should go and talk to her.' They all nodded and I left to go to Abby and Megan's dorm.

'Nic, hey.' Abby said casually standing in the way of the door. 'Hey can I come in? I want to talk to Megan.' I smiled and she moved out of the way letting me in. I saw Megan sprawled across her bed on her stomach crying softly into her pillow, I walked over to her and placed a hand on her back rubbing gently letting her know that I was there. She turns around slowly to face me, when I see her face her eyes are puffy and she tries to give me a small smile. I have never seen her like this before. 'Hi.' I say softly as she brings me into a tight hug. 'He dumped me Nic.' She cries into my shoulder as I hold her closely. 'I know, I know. Do you want to talk about it Megs?' She pulls away and nods.
