(A/N This chapter's dedicated to colorfuldays for the fucking awesome, sexy and generally amazing stories she writes that words cannot do justice to ~MacBeka)

Sitting on my bed, staring at my first ever own phone, I could hardly speak because of the shock I was in. I took a deep breath and took the phone out of its box. I got the charger and plugged it into the nearest socket, only to find the phone was already fully charged. I took the back off it and got the SIM card out of its coloured envelope, carefully slipping it into the space inside the phone. I put the battery back in and secured the back on again. I turned it over and turned it on.

I sat and just stared at it again, until it's first beep made me pick it up. There was a text message. I opened it.

'Hello Kaidan. I have passed your number onto Mr. Laycock, and he's assured me he'll be in touch shortly. Save this number. From Rob'

I did as I was told and saved the number to my phone. I couldn't believe it... I had a job, and a phone... This was an eventful day. I glanced at the clock on my wall. Shit, I was going to be late for my class, the only class of the day too.

I scrambled off the bed, grabbing my shoes and dragging them on. I looked around, grabbed my rucksack and hesitated before getting the phone too, slipping it into my pocket. If I got a call from this Mr. Laycock, I didn't want to make a bad first impression by missing his call.

Hurrying down the stairs, I burst out into the street and for the second time in the day, set off running.

Thankfully the college wasn't too far from the flat and I made it just in time. Signing in at reception quickly, I hurried to the lecture theatre and quickly found a seat at the back on my own. I pulled my notepad and pens out from my backpack, getting ready for the lecture.

For the first time in a long time, it was quite interesting and I managed to pay attention for nearly the whole hour, except for the constant checking of my new phone of course.

Thankfully I hadn't got a call so far and when the lecture was over, I was called down to the front by the lecturer. I frowned and quickly gathered my stuff, going down to talk to him.

"Hey Kaidan. You were quite distracted in class yesterday but you ran off before I could talk to you. I just wanted to check everything was okay," he said, smiling.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that, sir, I was just having trouble concentrating in all my lessons yesterday," I replied.

"Are you sure that's all? You know I like to help my students."

I nodded. "I've just been having money worries. I think I can stop worrying about them though."

"Well that's good. I just wanted to make sure this was still what you wanted, because your grades have been slipping."

Shit, really? If they slipped, I wouldn't be able to keep my grant. He seemed to notice my panicked expression and smiled, patting my arm.

"Don't worry, Kaidan. A bit of extra effort from both of us and you'll be back on track. I have faith in you."

"Thank you, sir..."

"I'm glad you think the money troubled have gone away, but just make sure you've still got time to study," he said, raising his eyebrow. I hadn't thought about that...

"I will, don't worry." I tried to smile reassuringly. Whether it worked or not, I don't know.

He nodded, seeming convinced, and dismissed me. I rushed out as quickly as I could without looking weird. I took a deep breath and signed out, leaving. I checked my phone again and saw an incoming call. I stopped walking suddenly. What did I do?

I answered it and slowly lifted it to my ear. "H-Hello?" I said into it.

"Kaidan Pearson?" said the voice on the other end in a bored tone, as if I were an inconvenience.

I froze at that voice... That wonderful voice...

"Jay?"

(A/N Oooh! ;D What's going to happen? Will Kaidan let Jay tutor him in sexual moves? Hehe, you'll have to wait to find out ~MacBeka)
