I walk to living room. Although I knew there will be some students, I didn't expect more than 5 people. I look for Ruby and when I find her I walk to her.

„Hiii sweetheart!“

She says and she gives me quick hug. She's really friendly. I hug her back.

„Well, this is our flat mates America. This is Maria, she studies laws, or something like that. And this is Lucy, artist.“

I nod and I quickly introduce myself to girls which are going to live with me for next months, year... Who knows. They seem cool and nice.

I sit down on little sofa next to Lucy and I start to talk to her. She has dirty blonde hair and big blue eyes which is cute.

„So, art?“

I ask with smile and she nods.

„It's awesome, it's my second year and I really love it! What do you study?“

„Art too.“

She nods and then we talk about art and music and everything else. After few minutes I notice slim, pale boy with glass of wine I guess and I watch him.

„Chloe? Chloe you're here with me?“

Lucy laughs as she notices, I don't listen to her and then she looks the same way where I'm looking.

„Oh no.. That's Matthew. He's an idiot sweetie, you better don't even look at him.“

He says quietly and I finally look back at her.

„Uh sorry, what? Why? Who's him?“

She sighs and she looks at him.

He's looking at us.

„He's kind of bad guy... And womanizer. Believe me I just don't want you to get hurt, huh.“

She says and she shakes head a little.

„Come on, let's go for drink.“

She offers after minute of silent. We get up and we're leaving to kitchen. I'm thinking about what Lucy just told me, also if she's right but I should believe her, she knows him more I guess but I'm curious.

„Look I know what you've just told but can you just tell me more about him? I'm just asking.“

I ask as Lucy gives me glass, wine I guess.

„Yea of course, no problem.“

She smiles and she sits on kitchen counter, tapping on place next to her so I sit there.

„Look, last year when I came here I absolutely fancied him, believe me he can be good when he wants to get you to.. bed. He's doing third year of art and I have to say he's pretty good in music, although his style is kinda weird... Anyway I was the one, he wanted me too and so we ended up dating, if I can call it dating. It was just about sex and I found out he had more these 'girlfriends' so we broke up. Since this he hates me but he's acting like BFF. I know it sounds cheesy but I was in love, I was so much in love and he was sweet and nice and everything and it just broke my heart. I don't believe him nose between his eyes. Also I lost my best friend because she hoo-“

„Good evening ladies.“

I hear raspy voice, maybe kinda drunk. It's Matthew, standing in door between kitchen and living room.

„Good get-out-of-there Matthew.“

Lucy says and she rolles eyes.

„I think I'll finish that story later.“

She says to me and I nod.

„So you won't introduce me your new friend?“

Matty asks and he walks closer, taking out cigarette from pocket on his chest, form his grey shirt. He lights it up and I furrow my eyebrows. I hate smoke. I hate cigarettes. I absolutely hate it.

„Well, fine, why not. Chloe, this is the biggest idiot and asshole on this whole wide world.“

He smirks.

„Nice to meet you Chloe, I'm Matty.“

I look at Lucy and she rolles eyes again. She has clenched fists. She has to really hate him but I'm not surprised if he's really how Lucy said.

„Yea, nice to meet you too.. Umm I'm going to living room.. I don't like this.“

I mumble awkwardly and I look at cigarette. Then I leave, Lucy stays here. I hear Matthew talking but I don't understand him much, just something about past, hurt and broken. I bet he's not talking about himself.

I decide to go out on terrace. I stay here, supporting against breastwork. It's beautiful night, I can see stars so clearly, the air is after rain so fresh.

„Sorry for that.“

I hear Lucy's voice behind me. She sounds different, kind of raspy, tired and still angry a little.

„You okay?“

I ask as I turn to her. She's so different now.

„Yea, we just talked. Sorry, he makes me just more angry and ugh. I'm going to sleep now, see you tomorrow morning.“

She says and she fakes a smile. I nod and I'm letting her go. I'm not sure she told me everything what happened between her and Matthew but I won't bother her with it. Anyway, she doesn't seem like she wants to talk about it. God knows.
