CHAPTER SEVEN

Warren’s POV:

“You don’t want to work on the project anymore?” I just chuckle and say. “Well I should probably actually read the book first before we get to work on it, shouldn’t I?” She looks down embarrassed. “Right makes sense.” I watch her get up to leave and I follow. “Care to help me find a copy?” She looks up at me. “Um I actually have a copy in my room if you wanna borrow it?” Even better. “Lets get going then.”

I watch her curls bounce as she walks. They’re shiny and look soft, I want to play with them. Being this close to her I can’t help but focus in on her thoughts. “Why does he keep looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?”She really is innocent, it’s cute.

We exit the library and I watch her take a deep breath in and savor it. “Don’t you just love the fresh mountain air?” I smile to myself. This girl really is something. I give her a smile “It certainly is refreshing.”

We start to walk back to her room slowly. She seems to be enjoying the scenery around us. And I don’t mind. The moment I saw her I could sense something different about her, but it’s very faint as if it’s been hidden away.

Is she a supernatural creature? Did someone put a curse on her and lock away her true nature? I don’t know but I’d sure be interested in figuring it out. I follow her to her dorm building and realize it’s the same one I’m staying in.

She leads me to her door and she opens it. “I see you got a single, nice.” I follow her in and take a look around. There’s decorations on the walls. A tapestry, shelves full of books, and crystals. Witch maybe?

I look around some more and see that she has some cooking appliances on her counter. “So you like to cook?” She turns to look at me. “Yeah, I signed up for the meal plan but sometimes I like to cook for myself.” “Though nothing beats my moms cooking.”

“I’m sure your cooking is delicious. I’d love to try it sometime.” But it’s probably not as delicious as you are. I think to myself with a grin. She smiles back at me.“Yeah? It’s pretty good if I say so myself. I’ll let you know next time I cook something. You can have a seat over there if you’d like while I find that book for you.”

I turn and look in the corner and see a single sofa chair in the corner. Looks comfortable enough. She looks on her shelves and seems to have found it but is having trouble reaching it.

I get up and reach above her to grab it. She jumps and turns around and looks up at me. “Th-thanks.” She stammers. “What is wrong with me? Why does he make me so nervous?” I take a step closer to see her reaction and she immediately blushes. I could mess with her all day, she really is adorable.

I reach out and pull gently on one of her curls and watch it bounce back up. “Um?” She starts fidgeting. “Sorry beautiful they just looked so soft I couldn’t help myself.”

She blushes again and I stay there for a second more before I take a step back to let her catch her breath. “Fuck.”I laugh at that. “Do I make you nervous Celeste?” She takes a deep breathe and looks like she’s having a hard time figuring out what to say. “Um maybe a little?” She says it like it’s a question. I smirk at her. “And why is that?” “I don’t know maybe it’s because you’re so hot?” She looks like she’s too embarrassed to say what she’s thinking so I let it slide.

“Thanks for the loan. I’ll be sure to get it back to you. See you tomorrow beautiful.” I wink at her and take my leave. Room 2B I note to myself. I make my way up to my room on the next floor up.

Celeste POV:

Fuck that guy makes me nervous. I don’t know why but hopefully I can get over it soon seeing as I have to work with him. DING! I look at my phone and see that I have a text from Myah: “Hey girl! How was your first day? Mine was amazing, I love my school! Although I do miss you!”

I smile and respond: “Hey! Glad your day went well. Mine was interesting to say the least. I can safely say that I won’t be getting bored here. Miss you too!”

I put my phone away and decide that I want to go for a run so I change into my work-out clothes. I saw a trail behind the library earlier and wanted to check it out. I put my phone in an arm band and grab some earbuds. I've always loved running, although I hardly every find the time to do it. Hopefully that will change now. The only thing I didn't love about running was having a big chest. But I wasn't going to let that stop me.

After locking my door I make my way to the trail. It’s nice weather perfect for a run and I wanted to clear my head since it had been racing all day.

There’s still people walking about since it’s not late but there’s not very many near the trail. I put my earbuds in start my workout playlist and start running along the trail.

The scenery is beautiful, fresh mountain air, evergreen trees, and the sky is turning orange and red. The path goes behind the library and a few other buildings and then it started to weave into the woods.

It’s daylight outside still and the path looks clear so I decide to keep following it but I won’t go far. I’ve been running for about 15 minutes when I come to a clearing. There were several tree trunks laid out in a circle surrounding a spot that looks like it’s used for campfires.

I decide to take a moment and sit down. After a few minutes I look up and see a pair of eyes watching me from the tree line. A pair of hazel eyes. They looked human but they weren’t at the same time.

I leaned forward trying to get a better look. I thought maybe I had caught a glimpse of a giant wolf but my eyes must’ve treen playing tricks on me because I blinked and it was gone. I took a deep breath. I should probably get going. The sun is going to set soon.

So I got up and started to run back up the trail. I made it back to my dorm as it started to get dark outside. I grabbed what I needed to hit the showers. I’ve worked up a sweat. I took a quick shower, washed my hair and brushed out the tangles.

Then I headed upstairs and put on an over sized t-shirt to sleep in. I’ll make myself some tea and hopefully that’ll help with my dreams tonight. I make myself some udon noodles with some sriracha sauce.

Something quick so I have something in my stomach. I put on my favorite show on my laptop Buffy and watched a couple of episodes while I ate before I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
