They assumed I had sex with himst night, but other than that, I didn''t tell them about how different it felt, about how different I felt. Something about my rtionship with Gavin had shifted thesest few days and it was something I wanted to explore.
But I wasn''t sure if it was something he would want to explore with me. it was something I was hoping to talk to him about this morning, but he was nowhere to be seen. It hurt that he left without saying a word to me, but maybe there was an actual reason as to why he ditched me.
I quickly got dressed because we were going to bete for our morning sses if we didn''t hurry. I was also incredibly hungover; probably wasn''t a good idea to get drunk the night before school, but there was no turning back now, and plus, it''s not like I''m alone in this. Nan and Sammy were just as messed up as I was.
Beta Taylor was the one who dropped us off at the campus; once we arrived on campus, we went our separate ways to our sses. I had trouble concentrating for most of the day because all I could think about was my new dynamic with Gavin. It felt like we were treading the rtionship territory; like if we were to hook up with other people, it would be wrong.
I wanted to talk to him about it; I found myself checking my phone constantly throughout the day to see if he messaged or called me, but he hadn''t. it bothered me that he hadn''t bothered to reach me throughout the day after hepletely rocked my worldst night.
Didst night mean anything to him at all?
"Earth to Judy," Nan said, waving her hand in front of my face as she sat down at the student lounge at the sat in front of mine. "Where is your mind today? You seem like you''re a million miles away."
I nodded, my mind still swirling with thoughts, but I was more focused on the present moment.
"Sorry; I guess I''m just feeling a little off today," I told her softly, trying to clear my head.
"I''m just going to head to ss; maybe that''ll make me feel better."
I stood and gave her a soft smile with a wave. I could still feel her eyes on me, long after I left her in the student lounge alone.
"Judy, just the person I wanted to see," Professor Rivers said as soon as I entered the empty ssroom. I was early for ss, which wasn''t surprising because it didn''t start for another 15 or so minutes.
I paused before passing by her desk. A boy was standing beside her desk; he was
tall with dark hair and very strong-looking muscles. I had never seen him around here before but when our eyes met, he gave me a polite smile and a head nod before I looked back at Professor Rivers.
"Is everything okay?" I asked her, wondering why she was looking for me. She nodded.
"Oh, yes, everything is fine," she assured me. I wanted to introduce you to Lukas," she exined, motioning for the boy beside her. He just transferred. I''m going to need someone to catch him up and tutor him a little. I thought you''d be perfect for the job."
She had mentioned something like this the other day too, but when I didn''t hear anything more about it, I assumed she didn''t need me anymore.
"You want me to tutor him?" I asked, ncing in his direction. He nced at me
briefly, a small smile tipping the corner of his lips.
"Yes," Professor River said thoughtfully. "His parents are well off and are prepared to pay you for your services."
I thought about it for a moment, I could use the extra money.
I nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, yeah, I''ll tutor him," I agreed.
Professor Rivers beamed at my easy eptance.
"Perfect, I''ll let you two get to know one another before ss," she told me as she
stepped aside, motioning for us to take our seats.
I nodded and went towards my seat, well aware that he was following me. Once I sat, he sat in the seat beside mine.
"Judy Montague," Lukas said,
holding out his hand. "Lukas Merryweather. I''m a huge fan of yours and I look forward to spending a lot of time with you over these next couple of weeks. I hope we can be friends."
