Giving him a small smile I placed my phone back on the table just as it vibrated.

'You okay?'

So he finally decided to check in.

"Excellent work on your personal statement by the way".

Snapping my head up my eyes connected with his. Did he just say my work was good?

"The emotion was raw, it was real. Outstanding work Leah I really mean that".

'Real mature Leah! You best hope I don't come down there and drag your ass home'

I didn't reply. I knew if I said something to piss him off he would be true to his word and come here. I didn't need to give the girls here another reason to hate me. I'm sure I would see him tonight anyway. Taking another sip of my coffee Mr Gallagher walked back into the room with a coffee of his own. "How long before the cast comes off?".

"So you'll be missing my class Miss Wilson?". Wait was that a hint of a smirk?

"I have a letter". I stated.
