Robbie ended up following us to the art class room.
" I'm Robbie." He said shooting me a bright white grin, holding out his hand.
"Olivia." I replied putting my hand in his which he shook hard enough to remove my whole arm from my shoulder.
"Pleasure to meet you Olivia." He bowed with a flourish.
I was struck by just how bizarre this boy was. Here he was after just striding into college without a warning, not even knew he was coming, and not a single other person had yet to acknowledge him at all. Considering his eminent charm and obviously good looks, I found it hard to believe that the girls were't all over him yet. And then there was his accent, I just couldn't't place it.
"Where are you from?" I blurted, eyebrow cocked.
He blinked, momentarily shocked before a lazy grin spread across his face.
"Now that's a difficult question to answer. I guess you could say that I'm definitely from a place both very near but yet quite far from here, depending on how you view it. Then again you could also say that I'm the wandering kind of guy" He said very theoretically, a hand on his hip and his other on his chin. " but maybe I'm just looking for somewhere to belong. Or maybe ..."
Tia rolled her eyes.
"Are you trying to be coy, or are you just deliberately talking circles around me?" I folded my arms across my chest.
Pulling me along the hall, Tia glared back at him.
"Ignore him, he's an arse-hole."
He held a hand to his heart in an exaggerated display of hurt.
"Oh, how the icy bitch strikes my heart yet again." His eyes twinkled with mischievously.
"If you don't piss off I'll rip it out and feet it to the goblins." she snapped.
He laughed merrily and trotted after us.
The whole situation was extremely awkward, between Tia threats of death and Robbie's deliberate attempts to rile her, I practically sprinted the last few strides to the art room leaving my two companions in my dust to continue whatever it was that was going on between them.
I'm not sure how he did it but as I pushed through the door, there Robbie was sat arms crossed rocked on my chair. I stopped and blinked at him.
"Eh? Wait, how the heck did you do that?"
My head darted to where I'd had left them in the corridor to where he sat now. Tia slinked up next to me.
"Show off." She muttered.
Robbie just laughed, pulled out a bright red apple, from god knows where, polished it on his blue flannel shirt and took a bite out of it. Droplets of juice splattered across the mounds of work sprawled across my desk.
"Right."I said Storming over to him, hoisting him from my chair and pushing him towards the door.
" It was lovely to meet you Robbie, it truly was. But as of right now you are officially dismissed, don't you have classes to attend?"
Tia smirked.
"I'm pretty sure Tia will show you round, right T?" Her smirk vanished.
Robbie had wedged his hands and feet against the door frame and waged a full on battle to remain within the room. He peered at me other his shoulder, an amused grin on his face.
" Are you trying to get rid of us?" he laughed.
"Yes." I admitted. "Yes I am."
With one last shove they were both into the hallway and I slammed the door behind them. They stood staring at me through the door glass in mild disbelief, I stuck my tongue out at them. As I walked back to my desk I heard Robbie say;
"I think I like this girl."
It wasn't hard to imagine Tia rolling her eyes as she replied.
"Touch her, and I will personally kill you."
Hey, guys! Sorry for the super short chapter, I have been unbelievably busy with school. So this will have to do for now.
I will update soon, so please be patient!
Thank you!
