As Lucas and Penny walked away from Andrew, Lucas couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He had a nagging sense of unease, like Andrew was planning something.

"Penny, I need to tell you something," Lucas said, his voice low.

Penny looked at him curiously. "What is it?" she asked.

Lucas hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "I think Andrew is trouble," he said finally. "I think he's going to try and cause problems for us."

Penny's expression turned serious. "What kind of problems?" she asked.

Lucas shrugged. "I don't know," he said. "But I have a feeling that he's not going to give up easily. We need to be careful."

Penny nodded, her eyes scanning the crowd. "I'll be careful," she said. "But we can't let Andrew control our lives. We have to focus on our own goals and aspirations."

Lucas nodded, feeling a sense of relief. He knew that Penny was right. They couldn't let Andrew's negativity bring them down.

As they walked back to their dorm, Lucas felt a sense of determination. He was going to focus on his studies and his relationship with Penny. He was going to make the most of his time at university, no matter what Andrew threw their way.

But little did Lucas know, Andrew was just getting started. He had a plan, and it was going to change everything.

The next day, Lucas received an email from an unknown sender. The email was simple, with only two words: "You're next."

Lucas's heart skipped a beat as he read the email. Who was sending him threatening messages? And what did they want?

He showed the email to Penny, who looked concerned. "This is getting serious," she said. "We need to go to the authorities."

Lucas nodded, feeling a sense of fear. He knew that he had to take this seriously. He couldn't let whoever was sending him these messages control his life.

But as they walked to the campus police station, Lucas couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He looked around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

It wasn't until they were walking back to their dorm that Lucas saw him. Andrew was standing across the street, watching them with a sly smile on his face.

Lucas's heart skipped a beat as he realized that Andrew was behind the threatening emails. He was trying to scare Lucas, to make him back down.

But Lucas was not going to back down. He was going to face Andrew head-on, no matter what it took.

"Let's go talk to him," Lucas said, his voice firm.

Penny looked at him hesitantly. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked.

Lucas nodded. "Yes, I'm positive. We can't let Andrew bully us. We have to stand up for ourselves."

Penny nodded, and together they walked across the street to confront Andrew.

As they walked across the street to confront Andrew, Lucas couldn't help but feel a sense of nervous energy. He knew that this was going to be a confrontation, and he wasn't sure how it was going to go.

But as he glanced over at Penny, he felt a surge of confidence. She was standing tall, her eyes flashing with determination. And as she caught his eye, she smiled, a soft, flirtatious smile.

Lucas felt his heart skip a beat as he smiled back at her. He loved the way she made him feel, like he was the only person in the world.

As they approached Andrew, Lucas could feel the tension building. Andrew was standing with his arms crossed, a sneer on his face.

"Well, well, well," Andrew said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The dynamic duo."

Lucas felt a surge of anger, but Penny just rolled her eyes. "Andrew, what do you want?" she asked.

Andrew shrugged. "I just wanted to see how you two were doing. You know, after I sent you that little email."

Lucas felt a surge of fear, but Penny just stepped forward, her eyes flashing with anger. "You're not going to scare us, Andrew," she said. "We're not afraid of you."

Andrew sneered, but Lucas could see the fear lurking behind his eyes. He knew that he had underestimated Penny, and now he was paying the price.

As they stood there, facing off against Andrew, Lucas felt a sense of pride. He was proud of Penny, proud of the way she stood up for herself and for him.

And as he looked at her, he felt a surge of love. He loved her strength, her courage, and her beauty.

Without thinking, Lucas reached out and pulled Penny into his arms. He kissed her deeply, feeling a sense of passion and desire.

As they kissed, Lucas could feel the tension around them melting away. Andrew's sneer faltered, and he looked away, embarrassed.

When they finally pulled away from each other, Penny smiled up at Lucas, her eyes shining with love. "I love you," she said.

Lucas smiled back, feeling a sense of happiness. "I love you too," he said.

As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Lucas knew that he had found his soulmate. He had found the person who made him feel alive, the person who made him feel loved.

And as they walked away from Andrew, Lucas knew that he was ready for whatever came next. He was ready to face the challenges of university, to face the challenges of life.

As long as he had Penny by his side, he knew that he could conquer anything.

As they walked away from Andrew, Lucas felt a sense of relief wash over him. He was glad to be rid of the tension and the drama that always seemed to follow Andrew.

Penny, sensing his mood, leaned in close to him. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, her voice soft and concerned.

Lucas nodded, smiling down at her. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said. "Just glad to be rid of Andrew's drama."

Penny laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I know, right?" she said. "He's always causing trouble."

Lucas chuckled, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Penny. They had been through so much together, and he was grateful to have her by his side.

As they walked, they stumbled upon a small café. Lucas, being the coffee lover that he was, immediately suggested they go in.

Penny agreed, and they spent the next hour sipping coffee and chatting about their dreams and aspirations.

Lucas was amazed by how much he enjoyed Penny's company. She was smart, funny, and beautiful, and he felt like the luckiest person in the world to have her as his girlfriend.

As they finished up their coffee, Lucas reached out and took Penny's hand. "I'm so glad we met," he said, looking into her eyes.

Penny smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Me too," she said. "I love you, Lucas."

Lucas's heart skipped a beat as he heard the words. He had been waiting for what felt like forever to hear her say them.

"I love you too, Penny," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

As they sat there, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes, Lucas knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together. They had so much to explore, so much to discover, and he couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.

Just then, Lucas's phone buzzed with a text from Jack. "Hey, man, what's up?" the text read. "I just got us tickets to a concert tonight. You and Penny should come!"

Lucas's eyes lit up as he read the text. He loved concerts, and he knew that Penny did too.

"Hey, Penny, want to go to a concert tonight?" he asked, showing her the text.

Penny's eyes widened with excitement. "Yes, that sounds amazing!" she said.

Lucas grinned, feeling a sense of excitement. He couldn't wait to spend the evening with Penny, listening to music and having fun.

He texted Jack back, confirming that they would be there. And as they walked out of the café, hand in hand, Lucas knew that this was going to be a night to remember.
