Drake.

She’d recogonize these eyes everywhere.

The eyes of the man she fell so hard for. The eyes of the man she’d spent the last two years trying to forget. The eyes of the man who hurt her. The eyes of the man she still loved, not matter how hard she tried not to.

And here he was, staring at her, confusing her classmates and making her feel as if the time stopped.

“Ahem.”

Someone cleared their throat and she quickly broke the eye contact. “I’m sorry,” she said shoving her phone into the bag. Nadia will have to wait.

Remembering his surroundings, Drake shifted his attention back to the attendence list and started calling out the names again.

Riley pretended she didn’t see confused looks on her classmates’ faces. She felt Luke staring at her but only shrugged lightly hoping it’d stop the questions. It wasn’t the right time for them. First, she needed to ask her questions. What was Drake doing here? Why did he change his name? Since when he was even interested in history? Why isn’t he in Cordonia? Was he looking for her? Does he...still feel something for her?

Riley was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t even hear what Drake, wait, no, Dean, was saying. She looked at him but he wasn’t even looking in her direction. If she didn’t know him better she would think he was avoiding looking at her. But then again, she really didn’t know him. Not anymore.

“...Does anyone know the answer for this question?” Drake asked as the classroom remained silent.

She bit her lip at how awkward everything was. If only she could run away and never come back.

No, wait. HE can run away. I’m staying. I need this degree.

“Maybe Miss Brooks? Spencer?” Drake repeated, stressing her fake name, and Riley realized he was talking to her.

Right. I’m Spencer.

“Umm...what was the question again?”

She risked a brief look at him but he was already staring at her, coldly, as if he was mad. He probably was.

“I asked, what do you think we need history for? What is the point of studying it?”

“I-I think,” Riley started, “it’s just important to know about our past and about everything that happened cause in some way, it shaped us.”

“Yes. Anything else?” He asked still looking at her.

What else?

“To avoid repeating the same mistakes?” Luke joined trying to save Riley. She thanked him silently as Drake narrowed his eyes.

“And you, Miss Brooks? Do you think your history, everything you did, taught you something?”

“Umm, yes? I think so.” she replied slighly confused.

“And if you could go back in time, would you do something differently?”

She was taken aback by his question. This was definitely not something a teacher should ask but she knew what he meant. She knew what he wanted to hear. Everyone was silent and waited for her response.

“No,” she heard her own voice speaking from the bottom of her heart, “I wouldn’t.”

Drake raised his eyebrow, “You wouldn’t? Anything?”

“No. I don’t regret anything. Because all my decisions, either right or wrong, made me who I am today. And I like that person.” she said confidently.

“Of course,” Drake shook his head and turned his attention to another student.

“Is everything okay? Do you know this guy?” Luke whispered to her when Drake was telling everyone what his course would look like.

“I don’t, I guess he didn’t like my being on my phone instead of listening,” she lied smiling reassuringly. No one can know.

“Mister Harrington, if you want to talk to your lady friend maybe you can do it after my classes, or prefarably, never.” Suddenly Drake was right in front of them, freezing them both with his stare.

What’s his deal?

“I’m sorry, sir, I’ll talk to her later,” Luke apologized and Drake only frowned.

“If I catch you talking during my classes again, you both will get an extra essay to write, understand?”

“Yes, sir,” both Riley and Luke answered, Luke ashamed and Riley clearly angry.

She heard muffled murmurs of her classmates, talking about how strict and annoying this new teacher is and Riley decided she needed to talk to him.

The class was nearing to an end when she felt a piece of paper slipping under her notebook. She unfolded it and read:

I’m so sorry for getting us caught with prof. Stagger. Are you okay?

Glancing quickly at Drake, she wrote back to Luke:

I am, it’s okay. I’ll talk to him after classes and apologize for using my phone, maybe it’ll help.

Do you want me to come with you?

No, I’ve got this. Don’t worry.

“Okay people, that’s it for today! Make sure to read pages 5 to 25 for the next class and see you in two days!”

Riley was packing her stuff as slowly as she could while she was watching her classmates saying “bye” to Drake and leaving the room.

“What do you think you’re doing?” she asked when there was no one in the classroom anymore.

“Hello to you too, long time no see,” he answer mockingly which made Riley even more mad.

“I won’t repeat it twice so listen; stop harrasing my new friends just because you��re angry with me, for whatever stupid reason you came up with, understand? I won’t let you ruin my future!”

“Ruin?!” He exclaimed. “I’m ruining your future? How about you ruined my life when you decided to take off without telling anyone? How about you ruined Liam when he realized you were gone? How about you ruined my hope when I was looking for you for almost two years and found nothing?!”

He moved his hand towards her but his hand froze in the air, fighting the urge to touch her, hug her, make sure she was real, that she was okay, knowing she needed the space.

“How about you all ruined me in the first place?!” she yelled back and before he could react she took her bag and stormed out.

How could he talk about it as if didn’t hurt me? How could he only talk about himself? He’s such a child! I don’t want to see him ever again! I’m changing my course if he’s not changing his job. I’m--

“Spencer?”

She turned back to see Luke standing right next to her. She wiped her tears and smiled to him.

“Hey.”

“Are you crying? Did this idiot do anything to you?” He asked examining her face.

“No, no. I just had a small argument with him, I’ll be fine.” she turned to leave but Luke stopped her.

“If you’re sure...We can always report him. Just say a word, he can’t treat you like that just because you were on your phone!”

She chuckled, “I guess he can’t. Thank you Luke, really.”

Riley started walking away when she felt his fingers around her wrist.

“Actually...I was wondering... would you like to go on a dinner with me? Or coffee, or anything you’d like really...”

“Like a date?” she suggested and he smiled sheepishly.

“Yeah, like a date. And as a sorry for talking to you during the Mr Almighty Dean Stagger’s classes.”

In the corner of her eye she Drake who must have followed her. He was listening and she was sure he heard everything.

“I’d love to.”
