You were sitting in the back of your classroom, waiting for the lecture to start. Your book was open and your pen was ready to take notes – you were kind of a huge nerd. You didn't like being smart though, in fact, you hated it. You were often made fun of for being overly prepared. You were in college yet somehow, the peers that were supposed to be mature adults were some of the vilest people you have ever encountered in your life. While you were counting down the minutes till class was starting, you heard someone shuffle their way through the desks to sit next to you.

"Morning nerd." An all too familiar voice said beside you.

You didn't bother turning around, you knew it was Chad Knowles – the guy that made you hate coming to this school. He was a bully and proud of it. You rolled your eyes and faced forward, ignoring him.

Chad chuckled when he realized you weren't going to answer him. "It's impolite to ignore someone that's talking to you. Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" He cooed, his words ringing in your ears. The bastard knew your parents died last year yet he still taunted you with this.

You held your tears back, you weren't going to cry and give him the satisfaction of knowing he hurt you. "I guess they didn't." You muttered dryly, your fingers gripping your pen so hard it was about to break.

Smirking, Chad knocked over your water bottle to the ground. "Y/N! So fucking clumsy!" He shouted for the class to hear as he roared in laughter. "Are you retarded or something?" He teased.

The blood rushed to your cheeks as you bent down to pick the bottle up, your blood pressure rising by the second. You hated it when someone used the R word, it went against every single one of your beliefs. All you wanted to do was skip the lecture and spend the rest of the afternoon locked up in a toilet stall but you knew deep inside you couldn't miss class. You didn't want him to know he made your skin crawl, even though it was obvious.

"Please just leave me alone." You said through gritted teeth, hoping he'd get bored and whisk away.

Except, he did the complete opposite. "Why would I do that when bothering you is much more entertaining?" He flashed you a disturbing smile and stared at you creepily.

You thought that starting college meant being with people that had the same mature mindset as you. Instead, it was like high school all over again. Ever since your parents passed away, you haven't even been able to make a single friend in your classes. You completely excluded yourself from the rest of the world. Your thoughts of solitary were interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind you and Chad.

"May I take a seat here, darling?" A British voice behind you said, making you come out of your depressing thoughts.

You turned around to see a tall handsome man – his face was flawless and his smile was incredibly charming. Hell, he looked like he came out of some Hollywood movie. "Su-sure." You whispered, moving your backpack to the floor and letting him take the seat beside you.

The mysterious hottie sat beside you and extended his hand for you to take. "My name is Kol. I'm new but I'm sure you knew that already." He threw in a friendly smile.

Just as you were about to shake Kol's hand, Chad grabbed it hard. "Can't you see we were busy having a conversation here, mate?" He emphasized the last word to mock Kol's accent. He squeezed Kol's hand a little too tightly but your eyes widened when you noticed Kol wasn't phased. In fact, Chad was the one wincing in pain.

Kol grabbed Chad by the collar of his shirt and brought him close to his face. "You're going to leave now and count every single tile in the hallways." He muttered, his lips curving into a childish smile. Chad abruptly got up from his seat and darted out of the room, leaving you dumbfounded.

"How did you do that...?" You quizzically asked, your head directing back towards Kol. "I haven't been able to get rid of him since the semester started." You admitted shyly.

Kol chuckled and leaned back in his seat. "I have my ways. Maybe I can teach you sometime Y/N." He winked, making you blush.

You tried ignoring the fact that you never even told him your name to begin with. You thought it was a bit weird but you didn't want to ask. You were just happy he got your bully to leave you alone. "Class is about to start." You announced, lowering your voice.

He laughed and rested his elbows on his desk, pretending to pay attention. You could see from the corner of your eye that he was still looking at you the whole time your teacher was lecturing. In fact, he didn't even take any notes down once. All he did was look at you. Normally, you would have found this creepy. However, he was hot and the least of your worries. So you thought.

As class finished, you were about to grab all your stuff and leave. "Do you maybe want to go out sometime?" Kol asked, stopping you in your tracks.

You bit your lip and looked down at the ground, trying to find any and every excuse in the book to give him. "I… Uh… I don't even know you." You said confusedly.

Kol got up and began picking up all your stuff – handing them back to you one by one. "Then get to know me on our date." He stated so easily, brushing his finger against yours as he gave you back your pen. You shivered at his touch but smiled nonetheless. The hot foreigner had a point.

"I'm not a fun person to be around." You shrugged your shoulders and walked by his side towards the exit.

Kol shook his head, showing his disagreement. "I actually think you're going to be more interesting than the rest of the people here." He nudged your shoulder with his playfully. "Come on, one date. If you think I'm not worth a second one by the end of the night, I promise I'll leave you alone." He smiled reassuringly and continued. "It's not like I bite. Not on the first date anyway." He grinned as if he had some kind of inside joke with himself.

You shifted on your feat uneasily. You didn't understand why this guy wanted to go on a date with you. You were awkward and shy. He seemed anything but that. "Fine… One date. I'm friends with some really important people so if I go missing after our date, they'll come and find me." You lied, you had no friends at all.

Kol chuckled and held his hands in front of him as if he was surrendering. "Alright love, I'll keep that in mind." He took out his phone and gave it to you so that you could put your number down.

You kind of liked his cheesy little British nicknames, it was something you could definitely get used to down the line. If he wasn't a serial killer, of course.
