"That's the science labs, where you will be most of the time. And this is the gym" said Marian nodding in the direction of a large building where some boys in singlets and bike shorts were walking out from. A medium height boy with sandy blonde hair was surrounded by other boys and was chattering loudly. As he walked pass he winked at Marian.
She returned his attention with a condescending look but after he had passed Saffiyah noticed a slight blush in her new friend's cheeks.
"Who is he?" Saffiyah asked.
"Oh him…I mean who?"
"Don't patronise me, you know…HIM" she said nodding in the direction of the Sandy haired boy.
"Okay, okay…his names Robin; his in the same year at…STOP looking at me like that!"
"Like what?" Saffiyah said in mock innocence.
"Ha, Ha Saffiyah….its not like that okay. We're just….well friends that don't get on very well all the time".
"Oh yea yea, I noticed the spark between you two."
"What spark? I don't know what you're talking about?"
"He ruffles you. I gotta meet him! Anyone who
ruffles you MUST be worth meeting!"
The both looked at each
other and giggled.
"Well you'll meet him tonight"
"Tonight? What's tonight?"
"Well me and a few of my mates….yes Robin included, meet up at Barney's on the first night back of College every year. It's tradition."
"Tradition? This is only your second year here, how can you have a tradition?"
Marian shrugged "Well if you don't wanna meet him you don't have to come"
"Fine, fine yea I'll come"
A voice yelled out in their direction - "Hey Maz, hey wait up, hey"
"Hi Allan and for the 100th time, my name is Marian, NOT Maz, Mazza, Mazzdog, Mazzels or any other name that isn't Marian"
"okay, chill Marian, oh hey there" he said noticing Saffiyah
"Allan, this is Saffiyah, she's my new room mate, Saffiyah this is Allan"
Saffiyah smiled at him
"Hey Saffiyah, I think we've met before, this morning right?"
"Don't remind me" she
laughed.
"So you guys coming to Barney's tonight?"
"Yup" said Marion "It should be good"
"We'll I'll see you there. I gotta go find Will now, he's only been here a couple of hours and he's already absorbed with stuff in the art room"
"Right well catchya later Allan" said Marian
"See you tonight ladies" he said roguishly and added a wink for Saffiyah
"SAFFIYAH! You didn't tell me you'd met anyone else"
"Well I hadn't, we didn't talk. I just dropped my bags this morning and he picked them up, well technically his friend picked them up while he stood there."
"His friend? Will?"
"I don't know? Like I said, we didn't talk"
"He's sweet on you"
"Who?"
"Oh you know – Allan"
"No he isn't he was just being friendly"
"yea, yea…we'll see how everything plays out tonight at Barney's"
They both smiled a secret smile as they walked back to the room to unpack.
