Chapter 16

"You make me feel like a firefly. Trapped in a belljar; starved for love."

~~

Womanizer - Britney

The university, a place I had strangely missed. I met some new friends, they're great. Candice must have left school because she hasn't been here for two months now. Peter and Luna are my heroes. They always smile and even manage to make me smile. After that day in the tower, it took me about two weeks to regain the desire to eat and smile.

I am sitting in the auditorium, ready for my favourite class, which is Mr. Evans'. We see how to manage a company, especially in terms of paperwork. I had chosen this option because Candice had it too, her dream was to open her own bookstore. Luna by my side, we're in second place, she has a tendency to drool in front of Evans. Blond with blue eyes and a Doritos-shaped chest, he's not that bad.

-Hello everyone. I will keep it simple, there is a guest who will arrive in a few minutes and who is very powerful. Ask him relevant questions and if you want, he told me that he could gladly accept to help you with anything.

I'm a little disappointed, today we were supposed to start building our fake business but it will be for next time.

-Miss Smith, can you come over here, please?

I got up timidly to go to my teacher.

-I need you to bring back some documents that I forgot in room 205.

He gives me the keys to the room and smiles at me.

-No problem, sir.

I take them and go in search of his documents. After two minutes of trying to open the door, it finally opens. Three filing binders are positioned right in front of me on a desk. I blow and take them, forgetting to close the door behind me. I almost dropped them several times, I finally arrived in front of my room, I knock with my foot because of my hands busy stabilizing the big files. The door then opens on my teacher.

-Thank you very much Armony, you're wonderful.

I smile at him as I move forward. I'm about to put the folder on the desk when I run into Tom. His eyes are on me. And that's when one of the binders falls, but Tom catches it in time. I thank him in a quiet voice and set the other two down before leaving for my seat.

-Mr. Tom Holland... wow, he' s just stunning.

I don't reply to Luna who is drooling in front of Tom who is staring at me, with a smile that can make any woman fall. Luna leans towards me again.

-Do you know him?

-No, not really.

My eyes still on him. He's explaining a few things, but gods know what.

-I'm already fantasizing about him. I would bet he' s a dominant, he likes control.

You don't even know how you're right.

He's moving towards us, making Luna straight back up.

-Miss....

-Smith.

He smiles at me and continues his game.

-Miss Smith, do you already have plans for your future?

-A little.

He hands me a pencil so I can go to the board.

-Go and explain your business plan to us on the whiteboard.

I got up without a word, grab the pencil and go to the board. I feel his gaze following me and that's when I decide to do the same. The pencil escapes from my hands and crashes to the ground. I lean down to pick it up and lift myself up as slowly as possible. A hand rests on my back and I understand that he is just a few centimetres away from me.

-Go ahead.

-I think that-...

I got cut off by the bell. The students stand up and leave the room except for three or four girls as well as Luna. Tom puts his hand on mine before whispering to me.

-I need you.

Destabilizing by these words, I am left with nothing to do.

-Sir? Could I come and do the end-of-year internship with you?

He turns his head towards one of my classmates, Sarah.

-I'm sorry, but I already have an assistant. And I don't have time for an intern.

By this answer the three girls leave, pouting. Luna is still in her place, watching us. He turns to me again.

-Tonight, at the Millennium.

-Tom...

-Please.

His eyes stare at me and ask me for mercy.

-Okay.

He kisses me on the forehead, a gesture that doesn't escape to Luna who is talking to the teacher, standing with his back to us. He sticks our foreheads together and rubs my cheek with his thumb.

-I can't sleep anymore.

-I know, Tom.

He pulls off suddenly to talk to Mr. Evans.

-You're going to explain to me now what just happened!

After spending an hour at the local café with Luna and explaining the main lines, of course I didn't tell her about the murders and stuff like that.

-So are you seeing him again tonight?

I take a sip of tea and put the cup down.

-Yeah, that's right.

-I'm coming with you, and we should get ready, it's already 7:00.
