14 He's your ex-boyfriend?

" Mason ? "

I can't believe Mason is standing next to me, his eyes darts between Cole and me. He narrows his eyes when he sees Cole and me holding hands.

" Mason, what are you doing here? "

" I live here,  my workplace is ten minutes from here "

" Ohhh. "

" Lyra what are you doing here? "

I rake my brains for a reply when Cole  butts in " Lyra and I were about to head back to our college after visiting my sister,  If you don't mind, Can you tell me who are you Mr ....?"

Mason's eyes harden and reply " Mason "  but his eyes stay on me.

I don't understand why he is looking at me that way but I really want to leave now. Cole seems to notice the change in the mood because his hands tighten around mine. I squeeze his hand and he gave me a fake smile.

It felt like an eternity even If It is only for 3 minutes we reach the floor. Hallelujah. Cole and I step out of the elevator and was about to leave when Mason calls me " Lyra "

I stop in my track and turn my head back. "Yeah ?"

" Nice to see you again.  See you later ."

Nodding my head I wave him goodbye and walk away with Cole.  We are on our way but Cole hasn't spoken a word, I wonder why he was so quiet so I decided to break the silence " Cole won't we get trouble for staying the night out? "

" We need to sneak in. "

" Ohhh "  I left at that because Cole is acting strange and doesn't seem to be in the mood for conversation.  I don't try to talk with him, I turn my head towards the sideway and continue to stare at the passing view.

After 30 minutes of awkward silence, we finally reach our college, I unclasp my seatbelt and was about to turn the door but Cole stops my hand.  He takes a breath and asked me" Is mason your ex-boyfriend or something?"

My eyes widen by his question,  I really don't want to talk about Mason I was hoping he would not bring it up.

" No "

" I don't think he's just someone you know ."

" Mason is my- my -uhh - uhh first love ."  The last word is barely a whisper. His eyes widen for a second but he nods his head.

" But he looks older than you"

" Because he is, Sherlock "

" Do you still love him? " I think about his question for a moment ;

If someone asks me Do I still have my feelings for mason six months ago, I would have said Yes but now I know I am completely over him.

Cole seems nervous waiting for me to answer but I just smile. " Mason is my past ." He seems satisfied with my answers because he grins.

I step outside and turns my head back ." See you tomorrow Cole ."

" I'll call you. "  with that he drives away.

I fell asleep right after I came back,  Abby has gone out and   I am sitting in my bed munching banana chips when Abby decided to come in slamming the door loudly. I almost Jump out of my bed and my chips scattered everywhere on the floor. I look up and with my best effort, I glare at her hard.

Abby apologises but her face says otherwise. She doesn't seem like she is sorry at all. " Lyra I want details. "

" What details? "

" Did you guys kiss?"

What is this girl talking about ! ?   "Abby who kisses who ?".

" Don't act naive Lyra Did Cole kiss you ? "  and she makes kissing noises.

"  Why would he kiss me ?"

"  Wait so you guys don't? "

" Nope."

" Damn I was waiting for COLY to happen? "

" Coly ? "

" Yeah Cole and Lyra,  Coly, I ship you guys "

" Don't be such a girl "

" Well in case you haven't noticed I am a girl Lyra,  I've got boobs like you. "

" Whatever I am busy don't interrupt me? "

" Bitch "

  I threw my pillows at her but she skillfully dodges it.

" Won't you tell me about your Lee? "

She comes to sit beside me and tells me that Lee is her ex-boyfriend,   they knew each other since a kid and they broke up over a fight but Abby doesn't tell me why. They happen to be in the same college and by what Abby tells me I saw Levy getting back together. I just ship them ' Levy '.

I am such a girl too, sometimes,  mostly when I am with someone that has a grey eye and a million-dollar smile.
