Distracted was quite possibly the best word that one could use to describe James as of late. He was distant, at best, certainly even more so after his date with Natalia, and spent most of his time avoiding everyone and everything aside from his classes. That was perhaps why he was such a difficult man to find. He didn't put himself out there at all as of late. And even now, all he wanted to do was go back to his room and sit and stare out the window, alone, and brood. Healthy? Hardly, but it was all he could bring himself to do at the moment.
The voice calling his name, however, distracted him from this plan, and he stopped, looking about for a familiar face and finding one that was instead not familiar in the least. "Yes?" He arched a brow slightly, though the brow quirked even more with his next words.
James' jaw stiffened and his body tensed. Clearly this was not the best way to approach him. "Very funny, asshole." And then he started thinking about it. "So who put you up to this? Was it Noah? Is this his idea of a joke?" Not a believer in the least. Pure skeptic. He wasn't going to be an easy one to convince of anything.
