Danial clicked the hang up button on his mobile phone for the fourth time that day. He was certain he and Christina had arranged to talk on the phone that evening but there had been no answer to her phone. Instead he was being tormented by her cherry voice informing him to leave a message and when she had time she would contact him. It felt almost like their relationship oddly. She knew it could not of been anything serious like a accident or health issue or her per parents would of been on thephone informing him.<br/><br/>With a sigh he slipped his phone into his jeans pocket and returned back to the general room which was in each building. The general room was large, able to fit at least fifty students in comfortably. Cheap but comfortable chairs and sofas littered the floor, along with tables where most people settled their drinks or worked on. He smiled to Marieanna as he returned to the table they had for that day staked a claim on. It was a Saturday and the day they agreed to do their assignments together as they had several classes together. "Still no answer Joe?" She asked as he sat upon the couch with a worried sigh. He shook his head slightly as he brought his hand up to rub against his eye lids.<br/><br/>Oddly the fact that she called him Joe amused her. Lifting his head up he turned to her with a echo of a smile. She was a pretty lass. With chocolate brown hair that came down to her shoulders in unruly curls that made her look as if she had just climbed out of bed. She wore no make up but there was a light dusting of light amber freckles just over the bridge of her nose. She had bright blue eyes that reminded him of the skies that shone down on him at home in the summer. Here the sky always seemed cloud covered or in a way smoky. "Maybe she just got a extra day at work and forgot to let you know." She said with a warm grin that turned playful. "Come on Joe, I'll distract you by having you test me on the two dozen types of illnesses antibiotics is completely useless on." Danial smiled. "Only two dozen..?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well if you really wish I could get the full list out...." Danial shook his head firmly and accepted the sheet of paper. "No the first twenty four shall settle me fine."<br/><br/>His eyes scanned the various names which were given in laymans terms as well as the medical terms. He could rely on Marieanne that way. Keeping him distracted and hoping that his relationship turmoil was so simply caused by a extra shift of work.<br/><br/>Days passed and the calls were sporadic to say the least, she always sounded to be in a rush to be else where but he found she was sounding like her normal self at least. That made him happy though he was not foolish enough to believe he actually had anything to do with that fact. None the less the calls as short as they were were smoother and more natural.<br/><br/>He was heading to the gym, a exercise he never did take to at home but he found it relieved pent up stress and also found it eased any sexual frustration seen as he had been livinglike a month for over five months. He felt his phone vibrating in his back pocket and pulled it out with a sigh when he saw it was the dorm receptionist calling him.<br/><br/>"Hello Mrs Smith, what issues do you have with my finances today?" He said in a light tone of voice. He could hear what sounded to be a long suffering sigh being expelled across the phone set. "Well for the sake of both of us finally this is actually a business call rather than a financial demand for your rent." He then expelled a breath of relief , it had taken nearly four months to get that sorted out. "There is a young man here just come in stating his car has broke down near your dorm. Are you able to come and have a look at it?" Danial smiled faintly. "I shall be on my way right away."<br/><br/>Instantly he turned around as the call ended and he retraced his steps quickly. He could see the broken car, it was the only one around the dorm at this time of day.He approached the male wholooked to be the one that owned it but he was not going to naturally assume, just in case. As he approached the car he raised a eyebrow curiously. "Sorry to disturb , I am going to guess you are the one with the car problem?"<br/><br/>He suddenly wished he had picked more suitable clothing. He had a sports bag over his shoulders but he was wearing a dark blue shirt that cut off just below his upper arms. While he had never been a particularly small man nor wimpy, the lack of funds , the long hours and the working at the gym had caused his upper arms to become more defined and more muscular. His skin still remained adamantly pale despite the warm sunshine that shone down on the pair. His hair had grown a couple of inches and fell into his eyes slightly.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
