Oh, I hadn’t forgotten.

I definitely hadn’t forgotten that Charlotte was a science nerd. How could I when I’d just spent my precious early morning hours listening to her rattle on about biology like it was the most exciting topic on earth?

But the weird thing was...I liked that about her.

Not just because she was helping me, although that was a perk. What I liked was that she explained things in a way that I could understand. What I loved was that she didn’t look at me with a patronizing smile or pat my hand and just have me repeat things back to her like Stella had done.

No, this girl had explained things one way. When I’d stared at her blankly she’d switched tactics, explaining it in a way I got. No patronizing, just an absolute certainty that I was not some dumb jock but rather a smart guy who’d understand it if she presented it in the right way.

That was a first for me and I liked it.

No, I loved it.

I also loved the way this girl talked. I loved the way she saw the world, like she had this unique bird’s eye view of the rest of humanity.

Probably because she was so intelligent. Maybe that perspective came with having a crazy whip-smart analytical brain. Or maybe it was a side effect of being a loner—and that was totally what she was.

I glanced over at her as we headed to the elevator together, me with my gym bag slung over my shoulder and her looking like a self-contained little island. My lips hitched up at the thought. A tiny country of one.

“So, you sure you know where you’re going?” I asked again. She might be smarter than me—and everyone else I knew, for that matter—but I couldn’t shake this protective instinct she brought out in me, and that instinct made me want to keep her by my side, even if that meant dragging her along to practice.

“I’m sure,” she said. “Robert’s room is also on the third floor and we agreed yesterday that we’d meet at his room and—”

She stopped and we both turned when a door from the opposite hallway opened. The door was on the girls’ side of the dorm, so it was a bit of a shock to see a guy coming out of the room.

It was even more of a shock to realize it was Robert. Coming out of Stella’s room. Wearing what he was wearing at the meet-and-greet and looking disheveled.

He spotted us just as he shut the door behind him.

“Oh.” That was all he said for a while as we stared at him. “Morning.”

Rage kicked through me, shaking off the last of my tiredness and making me more alert and on edge than caffeine ever could. How dare this little dweeb hurt Charlotte?

I looked over to Charlotte but her pale face was impossible to read.

She was too smart not to know what was going on here, but her expression gave nothing away. “Morning,” she responded.
