"How was the campus?" Rayne asks. "Nicer than the sports uni?"

I shrugged. "It was very, I don't know, it felt like you had to be someone special to go there. The sports uni was more modern and sort of- I feel like they turn you into something special there. Do you know what I mean?"

He hums. Like he does know.

We weren't too far from home.

Which was nice. Because my ass was numb.

The last few days in preparation for this was so busy, so focused, that I hadn't really talked to anyone.

But my friends messaged me this morning saying goodluck.

Which was very sweet.

Rayne's phone has been ringing this whole ride and he keeps ending the call, instead of picking it up and no matter how many times I look back and ask with my eyes who the hell is calling him, he won't tell me.

But my father is also curious. So he asks this time. "Who is that?" He chuckles.

"No one."

"New love interest?" my dad asks, fully being nosey and not caring about it.

I grin, looking back at Rayne.

I somehow got to ride shot gun. I think it's because Rayne doesn't really care about that anymore.

I however feel the need to be superior and sit up front.

"Nah." Rayne says. "It's no one. Don't worry."

"Would this nobody we offended at being called a nobody?" I ask, amused.

Rayne rolls his eyes. "Probably. Yes."

I laugh. Cocking my head. Asking for more information.

He rolls his eyes again. "Their name is Mason."

I rest my head on the seat, curious.

Rayne shakes his head. "Nope, no more info."

"Why?" I complain. I look at Dad. "Dad doesn't mind talking about boys. Do you Dad?"

My Dad chuckles. Shaking his head. "Nope."

"See exactly."

Rayne shoots a look back at me. "How about you Lottie. What about the boys in your life?"

"I have no boys in my life." I smile sweetly back. "Stop turning this to me."

"You sure about that?" My dad asks.

I look at him, my face scrunched up. Yes I am sure.

I look back at Rayne.

"Oh sorry I forgot you're seeing a girl right?" He chuckles. "How is she?"

"Rayne. Who is Mason?" I ask.

He rolls his eyes.

I haven't really seen Solana all week.

Which I don't know how I feel- because we had such a good date. We did. But I wasn't sad that I haven't seen her again yet.

I am seeing her tonight, or I should be anyway.

So I think I am just going to see how it goes.

"He's just a guy."

"A guy?"

"No he's a mate. Like he's straight."

I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Mostly." Rayne mumbles.
