Oh no.

Virginia didn't want to look up at the person in front of her now she'd read the name on that damned ID card, she could've run into anyone else another student, another member of staff but no she had to go and knock into Tony Stark, the man who wasn't even twenty years old yet (her sister read many gossip magazines and was obsessed with knowing pointless facts about various celebrities along with recalling these facts to her older sister) and was already known to bed any woman he lay eyes on. 'Please let this be my lucky day' She prayed to herself as she straightened her back and neck ready to shoot down his advances.

Slipping his phone into his pocket his eyes roved over her body, what he could see of it anyway her books and notes were obscuring his view of her torso but she seemed pretty enough then his gaze caught on the messy copper locks he'd never seen someone with such red hair 'Wow her hair's like fire…' He mused internally, redhead's weren't particularly his type because they never seemed the type to throw themselves at him, that was a brunette but namely blonde trait, not that he was stereotyping but he'd never had a ginger bat their eyelashes at him.

"Um hi… sorry about that," He said with a small flirtatious smirk looking her straight in the eye and yet again shocked himself at how much he liked that blue hue of her irises, it reminded him of the Arc Reactor at the Stark Industries headquarters, now he wasn't sure if having sex with her would be such a good idea, just her posture showed that she wasn't interested and judging from the books in her arms she definitely wasn't the type to easily get into a bed/bathroom, "Wasn't looking where I was going…"

His words hadn't been was she was expecting, though the smile he flashed her was what she was expecting so she didn't blush despite how good looking he was she wasn't going to fall for it, one night flings weren't for her, Ginny just didn't understand why people wanted to do that, "You weren't… but neither was I so I apologise too…" She murmured quickly tearing her eyes away from his dark chocolate ones, not wanting to appear affected by his gaze because she wasn't used to people looking at her like that, "If you don't mind I really need to get to class…"

She took a step to the side so she could carry on her path to her first class, yet again even later than before but she was halted by a large warm hand wrapping around her upper arm, "Let me give you a hand," He smiled hoping that he wasn't coming across as flirty or trying to charm her into a one-time only date and he took some of her books from her so she could at least see where she was going now, he didn't know why but he felt compelled to act like a gentleman to her maybe it was because she'd shot him down from her posture and expression alone, "It's the least I could do,"

"Wha- fine…" Ginny let out an exasperated sigh she wasn't going to be able to get out of his 'helping' so she just let him carry some of her textbooks and continued to walk to her classroom, she couldn't tell if he was helping her for the sake of being nice or because he was trying to get her to give into the 'Stark Charm', "You don't have to do this you know I'm perfectly capable of getting to my lesson with my textbooks on my own, I don't ne-"

"Second period started twenty minutes ago, you've got no make-up on and all of your books are with you and not in your locker," Tony butted into her rambling, he knew when people where late to lesson hell he'd been like it plenty of times when he was at MIT –except the make-up part of course- following behind her he found his eyes drifting up those long legs they were perfection in that little –but conservative- skirt she was wearing and damn that ass.

Sighing in defeat she turned to face the older man/boy –it was a toss-up between the two terms- really not wanting to give into his logical thinking but he had a point, "Fine, just keep up and don't drop any of my books," She muttered before continuing on her way to class, despite her first lesson being in the second period Ginny took the luxury of the extra hour in bed every Thursday but this time she'd over slept and already decided that from now on she'd get up half an hour earlier, 'that'll make sure that I'm not late again' she thought briefly as she turned the corner relaxing a little as she saw the door to her classroom was still open and to her that meant that she wasn't officially late, glancing back to see if the womaniser had kept up she blushed profusely when she noticed that he was staring at her legs.

"Would you stop that!" Ginny hissed reaching to pull her skirt down a little bit more, it wasn't like she was wearing a mini-skirt but it was a hot day and jeans weren't going to cut it, one of the things she couldn't stand were guys leering at her it made her uncomfortable.

Tony's eyes snapped up to her face never in his life had he been told to stop staring with the tone the redhead before him had just used, usually it was a more playful encouragement for him to keep going but this was new… and he liked it a new type of girl to work out how she worked but he wasn't looking to sleep with her because she was clearly uninterested in his advances, "Oh sorry… um this your class?" He asked as they came to a stop a couple of feet before the open door and handed back her books and notes, "Again really sorry about bumping into you like that…"

"Yes this is my class… and I guess I should say thanks… for carrying my things," Virginia said out of politeness, she really didn't want to be seen with Tony Stark let alone talk to him despite him being the opposite of his reputation, checking out aside, bundling her other books into her arms she gave him a fake smile, "Good bye then,"

For the second time that morning she'd been halted by the playboy while he'd not hit on her he was pretty determined to stall her for as long as possible, "I didn't even get to know your name…" He smiled at her in a way that both said 'I like you let's go out' and 'I'm being polite', and she had to fight down the blush that was threatening to creep its way on her cheeks, there was no denying it Tony Stark was an attractive guy but he had a personality that sucked to be quite honest.

"I don't see why it's important but I have a feeling you won't let me go until I tell you," Virginia sighed for the umpteenth time that morning and looked away from him to glance at her watch she couldn't afford to be stalled any more than she had already been and when she returned her eyes to his general head area, she couldn't bear to make eye-contact with him in fear of being caught in his hypnotic eyes, she notice that there was a smug and triumphant smirk on his face, "You can wipe that look off your face right now," His face dropped and resembled a nine year old sulking, "My name is Virginia, no last name no nickname."

"Aye aye cap'n," Tony mock saluted her to feign the shock she'd induced with her I'm-not-putting-up-with-your-shit tone, the last time he'd been spoken to like that had been before his mother had died 'No' He halted his own thoughts 'No thinking about them remember?' shaking his head slightly he rid himself of those memories as he was in mid-conversation with a girl who he might actually be able to be friends with, "Virginia? Huh… haven't heard that name before… it's pretty nice…"

"Yes… thanks… now if you don't mind I really ought to get to my class…" She murmured taking a step back to give herself her personal bubble back, Tony really was too close for comfort and the smell of his after-shave was starting to send her a little light-headed she blamed her asthma, it had nothing to do with the fact it smelled really really good, "Good-bye Tony…"

"Bye…" The young billionaire smiled at the redhead in front of him, he wished that he would see her again because she did seem like a genuine person and she didn't have to know that he'd research her as soon as he got back home to the mansion, not in a creepy pervy way but so he could 'accidentally' bump into her again sometime and try to persuade her into getting to know him, she turned away from him with a small smile on her face and he couldn't help but take one last look at her long legs as she walked into class, "…Virginia,"
