I couldn't believe that after 16 months since I wrote and posted this story, my readers and reads would amount this much. Yes, compared to others, it's not much but for me it is! Thanks so much! :D

Listen to "Boy", a song I've been listening to tonight. :D

Athena Vanderbilt POV

             Looking away awkwardly, I found a seat near the stack of Krispy Kreme donuts and sat. Erik dragged a chair and sat beside me. He held out a box of donuts to me and I got one Original Glazed. I started nibbling it.

                “So…” Erik started as he started munching on his donut childishly. I looked up at him. Isn’t he tired of grinning all the time?

                “I’m Erik.” He said.

                I said, “Yeah I know. Your mom just told us, right? I’m not likely to forget something mentioned a few seconds ago. My short-term memory is good.”

                He laughed, “Yes. Your sarcasm is good.”

                That is not sarcasm. I raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to say more.

                “We might as well get to know each other since we’re going to be partners here.” He said as he chewed half of the donut. Wow. What a big mouth. Literally.

                I gave him a smile. And I felt like the skin over my cheeks was stretched against their will. It’s been so long since I smiled.

                “Well, then gentleman first.” I stated.

                He smirked, “Fine. As you’ve said that my mom told us, I’m Erik Carter. I’m a freshman in NYU right now. Tough stuff over there. You might also wonder if my age is just 14 since I’m so youthful-looking – don’t laugh!” he said childishly since I started to laugh.

                “Youthful looking?”

                “Hey hey! No side-comments please!” he said as he joined me in laughing.

                I reduced my laughing to a minimum. He’s not bad after all. He’s one of the guys who are easy to hang out with. And that’s saying something since I’m usually shy around guys. He’s not awkward nor arrogant. He’s just… well…funny.

                He continued telling the tale of his life and I listened to him.

                Well, he’s not 14 but instead, he’s turning 19 in a week. And he’ll be having a party in their home, which he invited me to attend. I said I’ll think about it.
