Chapter 3

Luce walked across the campus towards the dorms. She has made it through her first three classes literature, calculus, and sociology. all she had left today was her religion class and swim. she walked through the courtyard into the dorm. She went to the kitchen and made a sandwich and grabed an apple and headed outside to have lunch. She sat on the same cool stone bench and ate her lunch. the sun was out but there was still a cool breeze. Again she looked up at the blossoms and breathed in the cool air. Her thoughts turned to Daniel. she assumed he was a upperclassman, but she learned from Luke that upperclassman dorms were across campus. he must be a freshman if he was in the dorms she was in right? great now she was practically stalking him. Even if he was a freshman he was still out of her league. she sighed and tried to finish her lunch.

Luce got to her religion class early and sat in the front. She was one of the first people there. She held onto her locket and let her mind wander. what had luke ment by she wouldnt choose either side? she wasnt the most religious person but she believed and god and went to church every sunday. She always thought of herself as more on the angel side, she even dressed as one for halloween when she was six. she decided to just let it go, luke didnt mean anything by that its not like he knew her that well. when she looked around again there was more people filling in the classroom, but mostly everyone sat towards the back. she pulled out her notebook and a pen, but she felt like she was being watched by someone, she turned to her right and saw Daniel sitting two seats away. He looked up and Smiled the kind of smile that made you feel like you were the only person in the world. he was wearing a dark blue v-neck shirt that showed his muscular chest, dark jeans and his black converse. his Golden hair lay tossled and his violet eyes shining bright.

Luce's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, she gave him a slight smile and a wave. She turned back straight and pretended to be doing something important in her notebook. she didnt think she would see him again, and she wouldnt have imagined he would great her so nicely. Maybe she was wrong, there might be a chance with her and him.. dont go there she scolded herself. she heard the chair next to her scrape, she looked up right into Daniels eyes. she almost gasped but she held back.

"hello Luce, its nice to see you again." said Daniel

"Er, Hi Daniel. nice to see you, too" said luce

"Do you mind?" he asked gestruing towards the seat next to her

"Oah no of course not" she tried to give him the dazzling smile he gave her but she figured she looked like an idiot, but his breath caught and he smiled back . did it work? or did i just look that crazy? probably making him regret sitting by her now huh. great

"Thats a lovely color on you" said daniel

Luce blushed and mumbled " Er, thanks ... you too"

he laughed and it sounded so smooth and lovely she looked up and smiled.

"So Georgia, what class are you in after this one?" asked daniel with a curious smirk at his lips. his lips looked so soft and kissable, argh what did he say? staring again Respond!

" Swimming" she blurted

"Really? Me too, i bet i could beat you" said daniel with a tease in his voice

Luce laughed outright " Dont count me out im on scholarsip for my swimming"

"Is that a challenge ?" he said with a smirk

"yes" she said

"hello, I am one of your teachers for this course My name is steven." said a handsome male professor at the front of the classroom

" And i am Francesca your other professor" said a beautiful teacher standing in front next to Steven . seeing some of the confuzed faces of the students Francesca spoke again" we will be team teaching this course to give you a better understanding of both of both Demons and Angels. We dont want a single opinion of one professor to set your own opinion on this subject" luce could have sworn they were looking at her. maybe it was a good thing.

Once class started luce found herself way Francesca described angels she was so sure. She didnt even have books to read from she knew all about it the stories and tales of these amazing angels, she had her opinion and she wasnt afriad to voice it, she was bold in her standpoint. And steven talked his piece on demons and explained that they were not all bad and made a point of how the world wasnt as black and white as it is the looks on peoples faces it really gave perspective to them from both sides it was amazing to listen felt a connection to this subject like she had known this before, but how? Luce gave a sidelong glance at Daniel to find him staring wide eyed at the teachers. He was just as interested as she was.

After class luce and daniel walked together to the pool. When Luce started to veer towards the girls changing room Daniel gently tapped her arm. luce turned to him with a curious look.

he asked" so, whats the bet?"

Luce looked up at him," What bet?"

"Well you were so confident you could beat me, I figure we'd bet it." he smirked "I mean if your scared..."

"Im not scared" Luce challenged " What are we beting?"

"hmm"he ran a hand through his tossled hair " If i win, Dinner in the courtyard ?"

Was he interested in her? he raised his eyebrows waiting for a response. she shot him her best calculating look.

" Deal" she said

" What about if you win?" he asked

" If i win, then your bringing the food, i dont want to burn down the dorm" she smirked

He gave her a dazzling smile. She grinned and walked away smiling to herself. Daniel was interested in her. She wished shed told Nora now. she never thought they would see eachother again but now they have two classes and they were going to have dinner together. Luce was still smiling as she changed into her yellow two piece swimsuit, she pulled her long hair into a pony tail, and wrapped herself up in a fluffy white towel and headed towards the pool. the pool was huge considering there was only Seven people here, she was the only girl, and all the guys looked at her. she looked down until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and expected to look into violet eyes, when she found herself looking into the icy blue eyes of luke. he wasnt wearing a swimsuit which made her wonder why he was here.

" hey luce, " he smiled broadly at her

" luke," she smiled "what are you doing here?"

" You left this in class,"he handed her her book" i thought id return it now before i went back to the dorm"

"oah thanks luke that was nice" she took the book and turned to go put it in her locker.

" wait" he hollared. Luce turned around

"Yea?"

" Wanna hang out.. tonight?' he asked his face confident

"er, i cant i already have plans sorry" said luce

He seemed angry," stupid loverr boy" he mumbled

"what" luce asked she couldnt hear him

"Oah nothing thats okay maybe next time" he turned and walked away stifly

"o...kay" he was gone. The whistle blew and luce turned to look at the coach standing by the pool.

" 15 sets, first one done can leave early, " said coach " Line up"

I went to the edge, got in position, looked to my left and saw Daniel, he winked at me and got in position. the whistle blew and i was off. i pushed myself and let my butterfly stroke expand pushing me faster. I pushed until i was infront with someone close behind me. I swam faster 2 laps to go, last stretch still in the lead my hands slicing through the water, my hand reached the wall. I grabbed it and pushed up looking at coach.

He smiled" Good job Luce" he said "you can come on out your all done, she got 4 seconds on you daniel, 5 more laps."

Luce laughed and smiled as Daniel jumped back in for more laps. she won! And now she had dinner tonight with daniel, butterflies filled her stomach.
