Chapter Nine- The scientist

~Lalna's POV~

Lalna walked back to his dorm from a busy day in the Lab. When he opened the door he saw Sam lying on the floor. "And what are you doing exactly?" He asked walking over the very muscular man.

"Just thinking." Sam replied moving his leg out of the way as Lalna put his bag on his bed and got his notes out to type up. He logged onto the computer they used and started typing. "Had fun in Lab today?" Sam asked sitting up. Lalna sighed.

"I suppose it was OK." He said continuing typing. Nilesy walked into the room.

"Hey." He said. Lalna nodded and finished the paragraph he was typing. He saved the file and threw the paper in the bin.

"Hello Nilesy." He said bluntly, typing something into the computer. He noticed that Ridge was online.

Hey Ridge. He typed.

Hello Lalna. What can I do for you?" Ridge replied. Lalna smiled.

Not much Ridge. I just wanted to know how Zoey was today.

And why do you care? Ridge asked. Lalna chuckled to himself.

Just wondering. That's all. Ridge sighed.

I suppose she was OK. But if you're planning on trying to get with her then be careful, the new boy Rythian has already taken a liking to her. Lalna nodded and said good bye to Ridge. So the way to get to Rythian WAS through Zoey. He grinned as he logged out of the computer and Nilesy hopped on.

"Why are you smiling Lalna?" Sam asked whilst weight lifting. Lalna didn't reply, there was no need to. They wouldn't understand that he knew that magic was the route of all evil and they certainly wouldn't understand that he hated it. A small laugh rose as Lalna got changed out of his Lab coat. It was strange taking it off but he supposed that people would laugh at him if he wore it all the time.

He left his dorm room and walked down to the local cafe to get a coffee. He noticed Zoey sat on her own and walked over to her. "Oh hello Zoey. Mind if I sit?" He asked. Zoey shook her head and he sat down.

"What's up?" He asked. Zoey was stirring her cup of tea and didn't seem to stop.

"Nothing much. What about you?" She asked in return.

"Same here really. Just got out of Lab so I needed a break," He noticed there was a coffee next to her.

"Is that for you as well?" He asked. Zoey smiled.

"No. I'm waiting for someone to get back from the toilet. He asked me to keep an eye on it." Lalna rolled his eyes.

"Wow. So you aren't a loner then. I was told you were." Zoey frowned at this remark but continued stirring the tea.

"Oh and look at that you can't even think of a comeback. You're pathetic Zoey Proasheck." Lalna said as he got up and walked out of the cafe with a grin on his face.

A/N So here's the next chapter. Again sorry it's short but it gives you an idea of what Lalna will be like in this story. I can't believe I wrote this as I normally write soppy stuff. Any way don't forget to follow, favorite and review. And remember stay awesome. ~Amy~
