It had been a rather long time since their previous study session and Lucy found that she was more excited at the prospect that she ought to have been. Since their decided meeting time of 7 o'clock was chosen, she found that she was checking the watch she wore around her wrist more often than usual and that although she wasn't very hungry, she rushed right through two helpings of dinner just to duck out and prepare for the night.
But she couldn't seem too excited. Instead, she took her time in getting ready and managed to stroll in to the classroom just past 7 o'clock. Her long, blond hair was swept back into a neat chignon at the nape of her neck. Simple ballet flats and slim-fitting trousers were easy to move around in and a light, loose-fitting jumper was just comfortable enough for the night. Her bag hang at her side and a book, the one he had given her for Christmas, was in her hands.
She smiled brightly as she walked inside. Even though she was trying to seem as cool and casual as possible, it was impossible not to smile at Nikolas.
"You haven't been waiting long, have you?" she asked him, her brow creasing slightly in question.
