The door opens suddenly and Lucien comes in. Caroline jumps off the bed and hugs him. Hey you, Lucien says smiling. I am good she replied. I came to check on you but I see that you are okay. Yeah Selena has been keeping me company. Oh okay Lucien says. Selena gets up from the bed and excuses them. Um where are you going Caroline asks. I have a lecture to catch up to. I"ll see you in a bit she says. Few minutes after her exit, Lucien and Caroline go to a Cafe to have a study date.
Selena is under the fragpani trees a few hours later. She had just had her semester's final exams. Now she was on the same page with Caroline and could start planning her trip home. She was definitely not looking forward to it and felt bad that despite coming from a privileged family she had to do 3 to 4 shifts each day to contribute her share of the accommodation, feed and buy the required books. Hey there, the voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked up to see Xavier. Hi she breathed. Her voice squeaked and her heart made backflips. Why are you reacting like this Selena snap out of it she said to herself. Can we go out to the Cafe over there Xavier asked. Okay she replied but her heart threatened to jump out of her chest. They both headed to the cafe and sat down.
They talked about everything under the sun and laughed intermittently. They look like the cutest couple. After an hour Selena headed to the bus park in the company of Xavier.
Ahh I am so happy Selena sighed to Caroline. This is going to be the best Christmas ever. Caroline was surprised to see Selena act so carefree. Tell me all about it she said. Selena launched into a detailed discussion of everything that happened animatedly. OMG I can't believe that the o so serious, nerdy and bookcentered Selena has a crush on Xavier Walker. I don't Selena retorted. REALLY? yes I don't. REALLY ? Darn it just leave me alone okay
