A/N FINALS ARE FINALLY OVER!! hopefully I aced them all :P I studied supper hard.

okay my latest update!! tell me what u think!

Dartemis POV

I thought the word and I felt something materialize in my pocket. Keys. For the car that I had just conjured. I hope no one noticed the jeep that had just seemingly come out of nowhere. I checked just in case.

Nope. Everyone was too busy huddling into their coats; hurrying to get out of the cold, to notice. I decided to keep it simple as to not draw unwanted attention; just one of the cars that I had seen frequently around here. Of course I had no driver's license and no formal training whatsoever, so I decided it would be best for her to drive.

I didn't want to take her there; to her boyfriend. It was a euphemism, I know, but I couldn't bring myself to say lover. They didn't seem like lovers. They'd only ever shared chaste kisses, at least from what I could tell. But I saw the worry and concern on her face and I felt very selfish denying her her peace of mind.

She came towards me her black coat hugging her tightly. "Are you ready to leave?" she asked. She was in a hurry.

"Yes," I smiled at her lightly and stood up. I followed her out the door and the wind instantly caught her hair, blowing it into my face. It smelled fruity and refreshing. I loved her choice of shampoo. I took a big whiff, memorizing the scent.

She turned back to me and raised an eyebrow while crossing her arms over her chest to keep warm. "So? Where's your car?"

I pointed, "Right there." She nodded and started towards it. She got to the passenger side and I shook my head. "What?" she asked.

"You're driving." I said, holding out the keys.

She looked at me incredulously. "You're bluffing!"

I tilted my head in confusion. "Why would I be bluffing?"

She looked at me sceptically. "So, let me get this strait. You, a guy, want me, a girl and total stranger, to drive your car when you are perfectly capable of doing it yourself? It doesn't make sense." She shook her head in disbelief.

I chuckled. "Well, it makes sense to me. You have a license, correct?"

"Yes? Don't you?"

I chuckled but ignored the question.

"You do know where this place is, don't you?" I think she was getting agitated by my inquiries because her eyes started to narrow. Apparently, it was not normal for a man to ask a woman whom he barley knew to drive his vehicle. Good. I wanted her to know that I was not normal.

"Yes." She looked at me expectantly, trying to figure out where I was headed with this.

"But I don't."

"I don't think so."

I smiled, "And don't you think it would be much faster and easier to drive us there yourself instead of having to point it out to me, wasting precious time and energy in the process?" It was all very logical. She thought so too.

"Wow. A logical, un-egotistical, willing-to-let-you-drive-my-car gentle man; however did I find someone like you?" she joked as she took the keys and walked to the driver's side.

I chuckled quietly. At least she was no longer worried.

Carol POV

Wow... I couldn't believe he actually let me drive! That's like a once in a lifetime occurrence! And the surprising thing was that he didn't even mind!

He was smiling widely as we drove through the town to the college dorms, about half an hour away. I drove ten miles below the speed limit, afraid of totalling this very intriguing stranger's car so soon after he so very graciously let me drive. I loved driving; it was so calming. All you had to do was focus on the road and make sure you didn't hit anything. It took up all of your concentration; making you forget about every thing else.

"So..." I said, trying to spark up a conversation, "What's your name?" I felt very ridiculous after I said that. I blushed and hoped he didn't laugh at my silliness.

He laughed. But he didn't answer so I snuck a peak at his face before quickly re-averting my eyes to the road. He looked like he was debating something in his head. Was it really that hard to tell me his name?

Then I realised what it was. He was thinking of a name.

He was hiding something.
