“You need some help?” Alyssa asked “What’s it about?”

Alyssa took the top ones from the girl “How long have you had these books for?” She asked with a  chuckle “there’s a lot here”

“It’s alright, it was just getting a little bit weird. You seemed to be very deep in thought.”

Alyssa smiled “Yeah I was. It happens often but I can’t just keep spacing out like that” she rubbed her eyes from the lack of sleep she’d been getting recently “it’s worse when I’m tired” 

“OH–YES, PLEASE.”, bijou said as she clumpsily tried to get through the door without dropping any of the boxes she was carrying.❞ 

“Okay, where are we taking them to?” She asked “If you set the boxes down it might be easier for me to grab a few or I could just take the top ones”

“Okay, well if you’re sure? You just looked like you needed help” the girl looked like she was struggling it was only fair to offer help “I’m Alyssa”

“You’ve been staring at me for like five minutes now, and it’s starting to freak me out… Can I help you with something, or is this just something you do?”

“Oh shit, I’m sorry. I must have spaced out”

“Class just ended and… I thought it was a good idea to wake you up.”

“Oh gosh, I’m surprised the teacher didn’t notice. Thank you”

“Here we already have something in common. In to acting as well, however not a writer. Which is your favourite film?”

“Probably The Goonies, Stand by me and the lost boys. I’m into my independent movies too. Do you have a favorite?”

“I certainly am - I’m Grant. And you are…?”

“Nice to meet you Grant, I’m Alyssa” she smiled “do you know your way around the place yet? I can show you around if you’d like”

“Well, just visiting my parents back in London. Didn’t do much though. But how have you been? Anything special happen while I was away?”

“Oh, what’s London like? I’ve been okay, just plodding along, getting on with classes nothing exciting.”

“And… I’m back!” 

“Welcome back, where have you been? Somewhere nice I hope”

“Here, we can quickly go grab a drink. I don’t want you fainting in the hallways.”

“Sounds perfect” Alyssa laughed “no fainting in the hallways, got it.” she smiled as she packed the rest of her books “are you new here? I don’t think I’ve seen you around until today.” 

Cole could only frown while listening and after Alyssa finished he dared to speak: “Wait, was I the first guy to invite you out, because it totally sounded like that?”

“Not the first no but you are the second, I was in a relationship but it didn’t end too well and it was after that ended that I withdrew myself from everything and everyone”  she flinched at the memories that flooded her mind but forced a smile “it’s in the past now though and I guess when bad shit happens you kind of loose sight of what’s real”
