The cop climbed out of his car exactly at 12:00 AM. He walked straight into the campus as Everything went silent. Students were moving aside creating a long path for the cop. He kept walking until he stopped at one door. One and only. He stopped at room 317. He knocked the door. But obviously, nobody was there. Why? Because A) that room was mine! B) I was standing far away watching, and C) I don't have a roommate.
The cop knocked again, as the whispers started to fill the place. I, on the other hand, stayed frozen not knowing what to do. My eyes were wide open. My heart was beating so fast. I was left with two choices, A) escape. B) Walk to my fate.
What to do now? The cop started looking around. I know he would ask students about me. And I still need a few minutes to recover from my shock.
30 seconds, and I found myself running. Running towards my best-friends room. I opened the door without knocking to walk inside. But stopped middle track, when I found nobody. Nobody was there. Shit. I turned around to find the cop walking towards me. Tears were struggling to fall down my face, but I refused to let them out.

" Ms. Evelyn Everett? " the cop addressed not sure.

I said nothing but nodded.

" You will be investigated tomorrow morning at 8:30 in the station. Be there " He must have seen the shock on my eyes, that he delayed the investigation till tomorrow.

I nodded again.

He looked at me with firm eyes that say don't try to escape, then turned around and left. I stayed there staring at his feature as he got into his car, turned around and left. Still, I was standing there in shock. When I averted my gaze, I realized that I'm not alone. Students were hunting me with their stares. Not that only, but also gossiping. I gave them the blank look as I walked to my room. Some of them tried to make fun of me, but I gave them the look of the doom that says stay the fuck out of this. Once I was inside my room, I slide against the door letting out a shaky breath. What the hell has just happened?

My clothes were now soaked with sweats, which were jeans and a simple oversized gray tank top. I made my way to the closet and changed into a baggy sweatshirt. I made sure that the door was locked, Cuz I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone. Then I got under the warmth of my bed. I clearly know that being in the bed won't help me any bet to sleep. But anyway, I wanted somewhere to crawl into a ball. And think. Yeah, I need to think.

~*~

6:00 Am and I'm awake. Wide awake. Last night events came crashing to me and I found my face soaked with dry tears. Crying in my sleep, how great! Today would be a long long day. I don't know what I did, frankly! But my fate would be decided today. Would I complete studying at UAB? Or would I get expelled? This question is frightening me the most. But again in the first place, what did I do?

last night thinking left me a hangover. I felt the dizziness when I got up from my bed. The first thing I did was making myself a coffee. I really needed one. I opened my window so the cool air fills the small room, then I made my bed and decided on what to wear for the day. I settled for black jeans, white and black striped top, a light denim jacket and black boots. My coffee was ready by the time. I sat by the window frame sipping my black hot coffee.

30 minutes later, I was having a cold shower. So cold that my fingertips turned white. But it's SO relaxing. I needed it. I spent another good 30 minutes in the shower. By 7:30 am I was all ready. My brown hair was left straight behind my back. I stepped outside the campus, starting my way toward the nearest bus stop. But the cop who came last night seems to have other plans. His car was parked near the campus and he was leaning into it. By saying his car, I didn't mean the cop's usual cars, but a black Toyota Corolla 2014. He was wearing casual clothes, not the cop's clothes either. I studied his features, he has dark hair, green eyes, and high cheekbones. He seemed to be six something feet tall. I walked some more steps approaching him.

He noticed me as he smiled.

" waiting for someone? " I wouldn't ask the question if I surely know the answer.

" Yeah, I'm waiting for you " he told me, as he opened the passenger door for me making a gesture so I get in.

But, I stayed still not making any move. Not sure on what to do. Not yet.

" C'mon I won't bite " he tried to light the awkward sensation between us but failed.

" I won't get in, unless I know who, why, where and what " the stubborn Eva began to show!

He looked at me deep in the eye as if trying to tell me trust me. And I found myself beginning to. He gestured again for me to get in, and I obey with no other spoken words. He closed the passenger door, turned around and get into the driver seat. He immediately drove off without even putting the seatbelt. I rolled my eyes, Great!

" Breakfast? " he asked.

" already have one "

" A cup of coffee doesn't count" he said.

" Stalker much? " I raised a brow at him. He was watching me the whole time! God dammit!

He stopped at a nearby café, got us both some donuts and coffee. He seems to know that I wouldn't mind having another coffee. Dammit.

We ate in silence as he drove to God knows where.

" Got a name? " I was the first to break the silence.

" Mason Easton " I nodded not having that much to say. Because he is either our Chancellor's son or one of his relatives.

" I'm Reacher's younger brother " he seems to read my mind too! So he is our Chancellor's brother.

" A cop? " I addressed sounding not sure.

" An ex-cop. "
