"How does it feel being Louis Tomlinson's girlfriend?"

"You sound just like a girl."

"What? I am your best friend, I deserve to know."

"I don't know why you're making this a big of a deal, it's not like I'm dating a celebrity."

"You are, you're dating one of UM's most eligible bachelors."

"Okay, you have got to stop watching American shows with me." I shoved Niall roughly as we walked towards my building. "I'll be fine here, thank you for coming with me to the bar last night, by the way. I'll text you."

With one last wave, I made a walk for my next class, smiling at strangers who seem to know who I am.

"Hey Vee!" I turn towards the voice and there was Mason with his beige playsuit, black loafers and a rainbow striped fur coat, he pulled it off very beautifully, pretty sure if other people wore it, it will look horrible.

"Hi Mason." I smiled at him.

"Where are you headed?"

"Physiology."

"Oh, Professor White. I'm headed towards there too. I'm taking it for 10 weeks." He flashed me his pearly whites making me smile at him too. "Come on, sit with me."

I nodded silently, I was in no place to argue, and glad I have someone to talk to in one of the most boring lectures ever. Don't get me wrong, learning is everything for me. Loving the feeling of knowing something new that may come in handy in the future. I am a nerd, I know that and I am proud of it.

The class went by with Mason occasionally throwing jokes and comments about our professor and some of the students who were nowhere near enjoying themselves. Mason was fairly impressed with my notes, subtly making a comment on how good my writing is.

We were on our way to lunch, talking about an American show we both watch-added to the things we have in common besides liking Tiffany & Co. rings, Balenciaga and a certain blue-eyed football player. A body collided into mine making me look to the person and mutter n apology, only to find the person smirking, letting me know she did that on purpose.

"Oops."

"Excuse you Fiona." Mason rolled his eyes to Barbie number 1, who is apparently named Fiona.

"Stop talking to me Mason. Your gayness makes me want to vomit. Is Jared okay? We had a good time last night; I think he's tired of fucking butts."

"Oh how's surgery Fiona? Trying to make yourself a beautiful princess than the hideous ogre you are yeah?" This made Fiona scoff and turn her head towards me.

"Watch out little princess, UM is only made for one queen." And with that she strolls away from us, the heels of her shoes clicking as she walks away.

"I swear this is like high school all over again." Mason commented while fixing his fedora on top of his head.

"Right??? I mean, I got bullied for hanging out with 'UM's Finest'." I chuckled. "I swear some people won't just grow up."

"You spend way too much time in my dorm room."

"Not my fault you have no roommate and your dorm is big."

"My dorm is not big. Not big enough to the both of us at least." I laughed at the blue-eyed boy whose legs are dangling at the edge of my couch. "You know I would invite you to live here with me but the dorm has a strict policy about two people with opposite sex living in one dorm room."
