LOVE MADE 1
Eva Derrin was sunshine in motion—loud sneakers squeaking against polished college floors, curls bouncing as she rushed through the halls like a caffeine-fueled tornado. She was late. On her first day.
Eva Derrin
I should have set an alarm😩
And that was before she slammed into someone.
A warm, solid chest. A low grunt. The sickening splatter of hot coffee meeting fabric.
Silence.
Eva Derrin
*froze, eyes wide*
Eva Derrin
Oh my god
*breathes heavily*
Eva Derrin
I’m—I’m so sorry, are you okay?
He blinked slowly. Looked down at his now-ruined shirt.
A small, almost amused curve of lips. Not annoyed. Not angry.
？？？
It's just coffee
*calm*
Eva Derrin
B-but I am really sorry, I was in a hurry so I didn't see you and i-
*yapping continuously*
He laughed. Actually laughed. A soft chuckle.
“I’m Lucien,” he offered, extending a coffee-stained hand.
Eva Derrin
Eva Derrin
*shakes his hand*
Eva Derrin
I swear I am usually not like this
*cheeks on fire embarrassed*
Lucien Hart
Haha, it's okay
Eva Derrin
But here, please wipe your hand with this
*gives her hankerchief*
Eva Derrin
I am gonna be late, byee
*runs off*
Eva burst through the door of her classroom with the elegance of a drunk squirrel. Heads turned. The professor paused mid-sentence, eyes narrowing
Eva Derrin
I.....I am sorry I am late
*panting*
Beat passed. The professor gestured toward the remaining empty desk near the back
Professor Kade
sit down, miss Derrin
Eva gave a sheepish nod, cheeks red, and scurried to her seat.
The moment the lecture ended, the girl sitting next to her turned with the biggest grin. Short blonde bob.
Mira Lennox
Eva Derris right?
Mira Lennox
I am Mira Lennox
*smiles*
Eva Derrin
Nice to meet you, Mira
Eva Derrin
I can call you that right?
Mira Lennox
Of course, we are friends from now on
Before Eva could respond, another voice chimed in from across the desk—soft, low, calm. “Don’t mind her. She adopted me the same way.”
Eva turned to see a girl with long, black hair and round smiling at her gently.
