𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍 is reminded of why she is not a morning person, and every year she manages to end up with at least one morning class.

"If I could have your attention up front please," Professor McKinley spoke up causing the students to turn to her,

"The main project of this semester is being introduced to you today so please look at the person sat next to you as they will be your partner," the sports marketing teacher explained as Lillian looked next to her,

The seat was empty.

"Sorry I'm late Miss," Ethan apologised as he ran into the lecture hall,

"Well Mr Edwards I was just telling everyone about the project for the semester," Professor McKinley sent the boy an irritated look,

"As you are here late you don't have a choice of partners so please go sit next to Ms Fraser," she added as she noticed that the blonde was the only one without a partner,

"Raise your hand so Mr Edwards can see where he is sitting," as Lillian's hand went into the air her body slid further back into her chair as she wished that the ground would swallow her whole.

"Hey," Ethan softly spoke as he watched the girl move her bag from what was now his chair,

"Hi," Lillian mumbled back as she tried to ignore how she grew nervous around him,

This was the first time that they had spoken in over three months but it felt like it had been years.

As class ended Lillian was quick to throw her papers into her bag as she wanted to get out of there as quick as she could, she had spent the last hour and a half trying to ignore the little glances that Ethan kept on sending her as he almost couldn't believe that she was actually sat next to him.

"Lilly wait!" Ethan called out as he forgot how fast the girl could speed walk,

"What?" Lillian turned around to face him as she squeezed her bags straps.

"When should we work on this?" The boy asked as it was a partner project,

"Look we can divide the work and then come back together in December to merge it together." The girl pointed out as she didn't want to work with him, well she and her heart did but her brain was ringing all of the alarm bells telling her to run away.

"I get that we broke up but can you just act like you like me for six months so that neither one of us fail this fucking class." The brunette grumbled as he clenched his fist growing frustrated.

"Fine, library at six on Monday." The blonde was taken aback by the boys little outburst, this was the longest they had spoken in about ten months.

"Why Monday?" Ethan cocked his head as he looked at her,

"Because I have a game on Sunday and I'm stressed out about it, so please Monday." Lillian explained as she watched the boys face, he was truly listening.

"Deal," the boy nodded as he thought about it for a second,

"Now if you could unblock-" he added as the blonde furrowed her eyebrows,

"I didn't block you," the girl was quick to cut him off,

"I got a new number before I went to Europe." She added as she gotten gotten a new number, it had just conveniently been the same week that her and Ethan broke up.

"Oh," the brunette felt his face grow warm as he grew embarrassed,

"Give me your phone," the blonde smiled as she took his phone and placed her new number on it,

"There," she added as she handed it back to him with the contact Lilly now in place,

"I'll see you around Ethan," before Ethan could respond Lillian had already disappeared into the crowd of students leaving Ethan alone with his thoughts,

Maybe the next few months weren't going to be as bad as they both thought.

Lillian practically ran back into her dorm to tell her roommate the news,

"Are you being chased by something?" Indigo asked as she looked up to see the girl out of breath,

"It's Ethan," Lillian explained as she dropped her bag on the ground,

"Why is he chasing you?" The striker grew concerned as she shut her laptop,

"He's not chasing me," the defender spoke in a duh tone as she sat down on the bed next to her,

"He's my partner," she explained as she ran her fingers through her hair,

"You're going to have to explain," the brunette motioned to her to continue,

"For sports management," the blonde sighed,

"We got paired up," she added as she was finally processing it,

"I might be playing devils advocate here," Indigo took a gulp as began,

"But maybe you two can reconnect," she added as she knew that the younger girl still cared for the Canadian,

"But-" Lillian crossed her arms as she pushed her lips into a pout,

"Maybe you two decide that you two are just better as friends," the striker added as she placed her hand on the girls back,

"Or maybe you two finally work your differences and start dating again," she added as the girl let out a sigh,

"Indigo," the defender wanted to argue, the only thing going through her mind were all of those nights she spent worrying about Ethan or being upset due to a fight that they had.

"Look I know that you're worried but don't count him out before you give him a chance." The brunette explained as she pulled the girl into a hug, she needed Lillian to be in the same mindset as Ethan.

Maybe all they need was a second chance.
