During his free period Thursday afternoon, Lucas strode into he Lipton college reading room. With its ceiling-high stacks of reference books, giant pedestal globe in the corner, and stained-glass window on the far wall, it was his favorite place on campus. He stood in the middle of the empty room, closed his eyes, and inhaled the old,leather-bound book smell. Everything had gone his way today; The unusual cold snap had allowed him to wear his brand-new Aeropastle pale blue wool coast, the college's cafe barista had made him a perfect double skim latte, she'd just aced her English exam, and tonight he would get to cuddle next to his secret boyfriend Aaron.

They had been dating for over six months and Lucas was head over heels for the boy. The boy was two years younger then he was, but it didn't matter. The only roadblock was Lucas wasn't out and Aaron was. That only made things more difficult because they had to hide every aspect of their relationship, the late night dinners, the movie nights they often had, the kissing, all had to be kept under wraps so that no one would find out. Lucas had to admit that he would have been content with a relationship like that because it would keep his social image at a frat boy intact, but he knew deep down that Aaron wanted to be able to show his affection in front of other people. Lucas had to wait until he was ready. Until then, nothing was going to happen.

Despite all that, an uneasy haze hung over him. It was a cross between a bothersome feeling he sometimes had when he'd forgotten to do something, and the sense that someone was...well, watching his every move with Aaron. Trying to shake it off, he sat down at the computer, adjusted the waistband of his sweatpants, and logged onto the Internet. He began research for his upcoming Biology project, but after scrolling through a list of Google results, he began to side track himself by looking up celebrities, something he always did to procrastinate.

Fawn walked into the college library,looking for something new to read.She had graduated from the college already,although she was still pretty
young.Fawn was extremely intelligent,and had always had a head start when it came to school.Once in the library,Fawn inhaled her favorite sent,books.she walked over to some history
novels,picked one up,and skim the back of it.She strode over to a few seats and sat to read her new find,but before she started reading,she looked around the room,as she always did.It was empty
except for the librarian and....Fawn blinked a few times,squinting to make sure it really was who she thought it was.As her suspicions were confirmed,a small smiled appeared on her lips.She was looking at the only person
who had been able to make her feel confident and daring throughout high school.Fawn stood up and walked over to were the man sat,which was in front of a computer,looking up celebrities.She stopped right
beside him and said "Procrastinating,Lucas?" he used to have a tendency of doing that when they were working on a project in high school.She smiled at the old memory.

They had lost touch once Fawn had graduated early,and Fawn had went back to her shy,quite ways.But just seeing him again gave her a boost of confidence,the stuff that had her standing beside him now.

Lucas was so overwhelmed with stress that somehow he found release in looking up celebrities and the problems they undoubtedly had in their own 'surreal' world. It was almost amusing in some aspects how easily Lucas could be distracted, especially since he often took his studies seriously. Lucas was your typical nerd in high school: a 4.0 student who pressured himself into being the school's valedictorian. That wasn't to say that Lucas was completely a loser in high school, he had also been one of the coolest kids in the school, known for throwing some of the year's best parties. He was a key member of the school's state title in basketball, and also for doing charitable work. In some ways, Lucas was perhaps extremely well rounded in his nature of doing things, but since he hit college all of that stopped. His motivation to do well, his dedication to school, his charity work - all stopped.

Lucas looked up and smiled, oddly unfazed by the girl who he had spent most of his time in high school with. When Lucas met Fawn it was your typical beginning to a beautiful friendship. In some ways he began his transformation from an exceptional student to a lazy prick with his friendship with Fawn, and certainly it wasn't causing Lucas to complain. Lucas often slacked off with Fawn when it came to school projects but yet they almost always received an A when it came to turning it in. The continued to wait until the last minute, rather spending time shopping or goofing off until the last est possible deadline. He smiled up at the girl once more, closing his laptop as he turned to face her. "Oh course, you know me too well." he stated with a smirk on his face, your typical Lucas smirk. It was refreshing seeing Fawn, especially since they had lost touch after high school ended. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you moved back to Lipton.."

"Actually,I never left" Fawn smiled and rubbed the back of her head."You I know graduated early and was caught up in work" she didn't want to seem like a loser in front of him.Fawn was always a nerd throughout school,so she didn't get noticed a whole lot.When she had though,it was either because of her looks or bullies wanting to pick on her.She hated that,and because they continued to pick on her,she became more and more silent.Until Lucas came around.He was smart,popular,and nice.Things she really liked in a friend.
She had been upset to have to leave him,but she graduated early and couldn't stay another non needed year of high school.She just sucked it up and left her friend,continuing on to college and graduating that way before she was supposed to.She put her book on the table,brought up a chair,and sat in front of Lucas.
"So,how has life been?" She hand t had contact with him in a while,but she could tell he was or had been stressed a lot.After years of observing people throughout middle and high school,she was fairly good at telling different emotions apart.She would step in front of her own mirror and would see things like calmness,or hurt.She tended to get hurt easily.She couldn't help it,she never did anything to hurt anyone else,so she expected people to treat her with the same respect,but was the the real world, and treating others how you want to be treated died a long time ago.
Fawn smiled at her old friend,and suddenly felt sad and guilty all over.She had cared a lot for Lucas,and she felt bad for leaving.Fawn dismissed the thoughts quickly.She tried not to feel to sad or guilty,it usually led to hurt.

"I've been great" he lied as she scooted his chair over closer toward his old friend, a whole-hearted smile plastered over his face. It was a refreshing feeling catching up with the one girl who understood him better then anyone he's ever had contact with. Something about Fawn's infectious laugh to her ability to tell when something was bothering Lucas was seriously lacking as of late, so this chance encounter was a lack of fresh air for the two. Lucas looked at her, observing her movements and nature which were almost exactly the same as he remembered. "Broke up with my girlfriend, enjoying the single life." Lies. All of what he said were lies. Lucas was never into girls, he fooled himself into thinking he was into girls. Lucas was into guys and he knew that Fawn was aware of it despite him not saying anything of it to her. It amazed Lucas how much she knew about him even though he hardly told her things of this nature.

Lucas could tell that Fawn was overcome by sadness and a feeling of guiltiness, likely due to the fact that she left Lucas in highschool. It wasnt like she could help it, she graduated early because she was smart enough to do it and Lucas was too scared to leave school early. The concept of leaving school only to work didnt seem like an admirable choice for the boy, because he enjoyed the easiness of highschool. In some ways it made him grasp onto his youth because the age old adage of work made him feel like he was getting older. Lucas smiled lightly, showing her that it was okay. Truth was, he was happy to see her. "You know I've missed you right?" he said. That was the truth. It was wierd not having his partner in crime next to him.

Fawn shifted in her seat uneasily.He was lying.Lucas was like that, saying he was alright when he wasn't.She noted he lied about having a girlfriend.She had picked up signs back in high school, about his sexual preferences.She never sayed anything though, it wasn't any of her businesses.
Fawns somber mood lifted when she saw him smile.He was reassuring her, it made her smile widely."Ive missed you to" she missed the days they would pull crazy stunts, hoping the whole time they wouldn't get caught. She laughed and pushed her long waves behind her ears. "remember when we crashed prom"they had been a year to young to go, but that hadn't stopped them.
She felt a warmth start in her chest at the thought.She leaned forward and hugged Lucas, like she would do when they said goodbye after he walked her home from school.Those had been great times in her life, but had ended after she graduated, and after the indecent.Fawn bit the inside of her cheek.Don't go there she thought.She always got emotional whenever she
thought of the night she got attacked.She still had nightmares about it.

Lucas laughed to himself at the thought of him and Fawn crashing prom and all of the upset seniors that had to witness the mayhem they had caused together. They were only juniors at the time and they weren't supposed to be at the prom but it hadn't stopped them. It was supposed to be an operation of some sort, they'd come and go but make their presence felt but they had no idea that it would have been so much of an ordeal. Lucas, drunk of course, got in a fight that Fawn herself had to break up, but they were laughing the whole time. Of course, that was after they spiked the punch bowl, hacked the P.A. system and locked the DJ in the janitor's closet. It was quite the interesting experience but Lucas knew that Fawn was the only person in the world who had the balls to do that with him.

"Oh my god! How could I forget? We got in soooo much trouble." he exclaimed, a heart grin plastered on his face. It wasn't a shock that Fawn knew he was lying, but he knew that she wasn't going to say a word. He'd come to here when he was ready...he always did. Lucas shrugged, his grin still on his face as he nodded once more. "I'm so happy we got a chance to catch up after all of these years.." he said, his voice trailing off. He embraced her hug, his hands firmly wrapped around her body. He missed those hugs. Everyday he had those hugs. Boy if only she knew about Aaron, or the fact that he was actually working and not partying as much...she would be proud. "So, what are you doing tonight?" he asked, his eyebrows raising in wonder.

Fawn smiled, thinking about prom. He got her to do a whole lot of crazy stuff, and as long as she was with him, she didn’t mind. Fawn smiled as he said how happy he was to see her again, and she knew he meant it. When they pulled away from the hug, he asked her what she was doing that night. She didn’t have anything to do actually. Her work was finished, her few friends were busy, and it was her day off. “Nothing” she smiled “Except hanging out with you” She didn’t know if he was busy or not, but judging by the question he most likely wasn’t. Fawn wanted to smile at the thought of going out and hanging with Lucas. She not only hasn’t seen her friend in a while, she also hasn’t been able to have fun. She had been working a lot at the hospital, and her therapy sessions took up a lot of free time. Without therapy, she would probably be a wreck. It always took her a while to recover from experiences that hurt, like being bullied, but she always did, sooner or later. When she was attacked, Fawn couldn’t let it go. Whenever she didn’t have anything to keep her mind busy, she would see flashes of the night, remembering every detail. She hasn’t stepped foot in Sparkles! Bar and nightclub since.
Whenever drove by the place on her way to work, her hands would get clammy and her stomach would do flips inside of her. Even if she didn’t look at it, she knew it was there, filled with people drinking, talking, people that could end up just like her.
Heck, ever since she had been raped, she hadn’t touched another man. Well, except for Lucas, but she knew he wouldn’t hurt her. In their past he had kept her from harm, and in return Fawn was the bests friend she could have been.
