For once I was awake before Grace. College starts at nine and it just turned six o’clock.

I get ready in half an hour, showering and dressing into casual dark jeans and a grey t-shirt and converses, once I’m done, leaving my wet hair to dry naturally I go and knock on Graces door, I wouldn’t dare just walk in like she does to me, just in case she is up and getting dressed or something.

I hear her shuffle around then open the door with a sleepy face.

“Morning.” I grin.

“Thanks for waking me up, I forgot to set my alarm.” She yawned.

“No problem, you want breakfast?” I ask, turning to walk towards the kitchen.

“Yes please.” She calls after me.

I start making us pancakes and by seven o’clock they’re done and Grace comes out wide awake and fully dressed.

“Eat up; Eric will be here in ten minutes.” I tell her, passing her plate to her across the island table.

She eats her pancakes quickly then goes to brush her teeth, which I find weird, I always brush my teeth before I eat, otherwise you can feel the food that is still kind of stuck in your teeth wash around, it just makes me feel sick.

I wash up our plates and put them on the rack to dry and the buzzer goes, I know it’s Eric so I grab my bag of the sofa and go over to the door and press the speaker button. “We’ll be down in a minute.” I say.

“Come on Grace.” I call into the apartment so she can hear me; she comes out of her room with her bag and follows me out the door.

“Hey.” I say when we come out of the buildings front door and see Eric sitting on the wall waiting for us.

“Morning guys.” He greets.

“My car’s in the underground car park.” I explain, waling round to the door that goes in under the building where all the cars are parked, the driving entrance is on the other side of the building.

He follows Grace and I inside and blows out and impressed whistle when I click my keys and the sleek black bmw m6 convertible flashes to life.

“You Greys never fail to impress.” He winks.

“What can we say, we aim to please.” Grace laughs, the saying is like our family motto or something.

“Are you coming in Jay’s car?” Eric asks her, but she shakes her head at him, and walks over to her mini.

“And miss out on driving my new baby? No way.” She grins before climbing in and driving out of the exit, I wave as she goes.

“Want to get a coffee before college?” Eric asks as he climbs into the car beside me in the passenger seat.

“Sure.” I agree, starting the engine and driving carefully out the exit.

“Can I have a plain white coffee?” I ask the speaker at the Starbucks drive through.

I look over at Eric and raise my eyebrows expectantly, wanting his order.

“A vanilla latte.” He answers my silent question.

“And one Vanilla Latte.” I repeat his order, the woman who is speaking to us tells us to drive round to collect.

I pass the dinks over to Eric, who places them in the two cup holders then drive towards the college.

I laugh when Eric takes a tiny sip of his drink and he raises his eyebrows at me, so I answer his look.

“Not only do you have the most girlish coffee I can think of, but you sip it like a lady.” I tease and he grins.

“Don’t judge my coffee Mr plain and simple.” He defends, laughing.

I pulled into the college car park and took one of the designated spaces, noting the looks that the students threw my way when they saw my car, I just smirk and grab my bag and walk with Eric into the main quad.

“What do you have first?” He asks me, I pull the schedule out from my back pocket and examine it, I chose a few classes, some for my own taste, and others for my dad’s.

“Introduction to fine art.” I read off the paper to Eric, who snorts.

“You are nothing like Ted.” He notices.

“Nope, I have no interest in working for Grey Enterprises either.” I inform him, correcting Ted from the other night when he said I wasn’t yet working there, I never would.

“I didn’t think you did, you’re different, Grey, I like it.” He grins.

“We aim to please.” I smirk.

Eric sees someone past my shoulder and waves, grinning broadly.

“Lily!” He calls.

My heartbeat quickens up, I haven’t seen her since I gave her a lift home, I turn to look her way to see her walking over to us, a small smile playing at her pink lips.

“Hey Eric.” She greets then looks at me.

“Hello.” She says politely, all though I have a feeling it was forced.

“Lily.” I greet.

“What do you have first?” Eric asks, either not noticing the tension or choosing to ignore it, the latter being more likely.

“Introduction to fine art.” She says, smiling.

Oh god…

“Same as Jay.” Eric says, fake surprise smothering his voice.

“Oh really, I didn’t think you would be into that sort of thing.” Lily says disbelievingly.

I smirk at her, she was just like everyone else, assuming I was going to be just like my dad.

“You obviously don’t know me well enough, miss heirs.”

She rolls her eyes, hoping I wont see, but of course I do, I’ve had practice.

“Well now you two can get to know each other better.” Eric grins, patting my shoulder.

I glare at him, but he just keeps smiling.

“I suppose I owe him that much.” Lily sighs, and smiles at Eric once more before walking off in the direction of the art block.

“I see what you mean by she thinks she owes me.” I say, watching her as she disappears through the double doors of the building.

“This won’t be it, she will keep thinking she still owes you, she has a problem with it.” He shakes his head and smiles sadly.

There seems to be more to Lily that meets the eye, and I have three years to figure them out.
