Daniel P.O.V
Her long blond hair… those green eyes and her smile.. Jeez. I couldn't stop thinking about her, and I bet that Lucas was having the same problem with Lisa. After the conversation we had had that afternoon, it was clear to me. I was utterly and unconditionally in love with Iris. The conversation was a week ago, and I couldn't be happier when I was around her. It couldn't be a coincidence that we had the same marks, could have something to do with a past life perhaps. I was able to believing those things, as long as it revolved around the four of us. Lucas was a bit more awaiting when it came to Lisa. He really liked her, but for some reason, he couldn't permit himself to fully admit it. Which was fine for now, because Lisa was experiencing the same thing; Iris had told me. Classes started yesterday, and we would have to make time to see each other now. As of tomorrow, we would do study groups. I was drinking coffee in Lucas' and my room, while attempting to do my homework. I was ready to stop trying on finding concentration when Lucas burst in. 'I met the librarian just now. It was weird,' he said while he sank down in a chair. 'Why, what happened?' I asked while closing my books, secretly thankful to him. 'She was constantly staring at me, and she addressed me as Luke. When she did, I suddenly got this picture of a little girl in my mind. With ponytails and stuff. It was so weird…' I raised my eyebrows and turned my chair. This was indeed pretty weird, 'let's go to the library,' I said determined. He nodded and we left our room, 'by the way,' I said. 'You were in the library?' He grinned and hit my shoulder. 'Shut up, Lisa wanted to work on a project.' 'The things you do for love,' I tried, carefully. He shot me the eye, so I shut up quickly. We were best friends, but you did not want to fight Lucas. Seriously, back home he was a teacher and master in self-defence.
When we entered the library, we saw Lisa sitting at one of the tables so we joined her. 'Hey, Lisse,' I smiled and gave her a hug. 'Hi, Daniel. God, we have so much to do already. How did the two of you ever pass this year. Jeez!' I chuckled and Lucas grinned, 'you'll get there, trust me.' As Lucas kissed Lisa's cheek, she put her hand on my arm when I was scanning the library. 'She isn't here, she was having weird dreams yesterday so she went to bed early today!' I had been scanning the library to find the librarian, but Lisa was talking about Iris. 'Weird dreams? Weird how?' I asked. 'You should ask her tomorrow, I don't know the details but they were strange. You weren't looking for someone else, were you?' She asked a bit suspicious. 'Well, to be honest,' I started, 'I was searching for someone else.' Lisa's eyes grew darker. 'What?' She asked. 'I was searching for the mega cute 60 year old librarian. Or whatever her age is.' Lisa started laughing and looked guilty. 'Sorry, David, I get a bit worried when it concerns Iris. She's like my little sister you know.' I laughed as well and assured her that it was fine. 'David? Lisa, you called him David,' Lucas said confused. 'Yeah because that is his.. Wow, wait, it's Daniel. I'm so sorry.' She smiled and continued writing her essay. Lucas raised his eyebrows at me, and I shrugged my shoulders. Then I spotted her, the librarian. 'There she is!' I said to Lucas and we stood up. He gave Lisa another kiss on her cheek and told her we had to go. 'Okay that's fine. See you later guys! Oh Luke, don't forget our study date tomorrow!' She said and went back to work. Lucas looked confused and wanted to object on her calling him Luke but I pulled him with me. I wanted to stop by at Iris' after this to check if she was alright. 'Ms. Bianchi!' I called. 'You actually know her name?' Lucas whispered. 'I read about her in the school guide,' I whispered back. 'Giulia Bianchi, she's Italian.' Ms. Bianchi stopped and looked at me. Her eyes widened and she seemed to stutter. 'Hello David, what can I do for you?' I could feel Lucas's eyes burn on my back . 'Ms. Bianchi, my name is Daniel. Daniel Grigori. I was wondering why you called Lucas Luke. And now you called me David. May I ask why?' She seemed scared, 'no, no you may not,' she quickly said and walked away. 'Ms. Bianchi please! Strange things have been happening to us and this is one of them. Help us!' Lucas called. She stopped and stared at us. 'God you look just like them. And so do…' She mumbled and came close to my face. 'I'll explain everything, but not here, and not now,' she whispered, and walked away. Lucas and I exchanged looks, good… one step closer to the truth.
