Chapter Seven

The day? The day went fairly smoothly. Despite the thunder and build up, it didn't rain very much. Just enough to make the ground a little muddy. I found all of my classes and was only intimidated by one older, smaller professor who didn't smile and sort of glared most of the class. I didn't run into J any which was disappointing. It might have been nice to have lunch or something, but I ended up eating with a person from my chemistry class. Her name was Alicia Dyer. Pretty. Blonde. English major too. She was nice to talk to… so I did.

She asked me for my number which I found pretty forward, but I gave it to her. She gave me hers too. I still make fun of her over it because, when you get to know her, she's not that out in the open normally. Alicia's more reserved. More quiet… unless you make her mad which I do tend to do on occasion. Sometimes it's accidental.

Sometimes.

Anyway, we sat next to each other in Chemistry, didn't know anyone else and decided to eat lunch together. Less awkward-looking that way. By the end of the hour, I had a full stomach and her phone number. Not a bad first day of school.

Now, you might be thinking I was sort of cheating on J by eating lunch with Alicia, but you'd be wrong because 1) we weren't dating, and 2) she was — I found out later — eating lunch with Oliver at Langston's. I know, right?! Who would go to that fancy place during the day? Better yet, who would go there at night?

At around four o'clock, I made it back to J's car. She wasn't there yet, so to kill time and nonchalantly lean on the hood because my knee was killing me from all the walking, I pulled out the paper Alicia had given me and started programming her number into my phone. Before I could punch in the first digit, the phone was swiped out of my hand. It shocked me at first until I saw who it was, standing there all cocky next to the car.

"Day one and you've already got a girl's number." She grinned, holding my phone hostage.

"Jealous?" Maybe not the best thing to say, but oh well. I said it. Sue me.

Thankfully — since she was my ride and all — she didn't seem to let that bother her. "Not at all." She started fiddling with the keys and doing something to my phone. Knowing her, she was probably making it sing the Barney song when she texted me or something. "It's just… you are a lot smoother than I gave you credit for, Walker. And here I thought you weren't over Lauren yet."

It was my turn to take the phone from J's little fingers. "I'm not. I sat next to Alicia in Chemistry."

J smirked. Chemistry. Ha. Got the joke. It was stupid.

J just took the phone right back from me and kept on keying in stuff and asked me if the girl was cute.
