"You're leaving already babe ?" He grumbles in the sexy morning voice that brings me back to this dorm room all the damn time.
Wrapping his veiny hand around my small waist to keep me in bed.
I turn to face him and put my hand on his chiselled jaw then run my fingers through his messy auburn hair .

"I have to get ready for class ," i sigh "plus we shouldn't be doing this ,"
Its not exactly like we're doing anything wrong , we're both single but i shouldn't be coming to my ex's dorm room .
But its a complicated relationship , sometimes on , sometimes off . Complicated.

I sit up and move his hand from my waist , and get up  " then why do you come over ma cherie ?" He yawns , going deeper into the white comforter .
I put on my nightgown from the night before and grab my purse from the oakwood bedside table and smile at him .

"You dont have classes today ?" I ask and he nods not even hearing my question. But i know he only has chemistry last period so he doesnt really need to be up early .
I have class basically first period to last but here i am 30 minutes before my first class playing one night stand with my ex .
"Bye Jason," i smile looking at him sleep and head for the door .

"Bye Maya , " i hear him mumble before i leave the room and run down the stairs of north tower all the way across to west tower . Yes they're actually real towers , it looks kind of like a castle and it has four towers one at each extreme end. They use two for the boys , North and East and two for the girls , West and South as the dorm rooms .
That's Northwood Academy for you.
It's very pretty though , the school is built of grey brick that they made look like cobblestone .
They aern't too strict with the uniform laws , you just have to wear  specifics on specific days . Today is Tuesday which means i just have to make sure i wear a skirt , the blue one or the purple one - they're both plad - the choice is really mine , i just have to pair it with a long or short sleeve white shirt and blue half jersey , white socks and whatever black shoes .
I guess it's just standard uniform but  i find it pretty cool .

I reach west tower and climb the 2 flights of stairs to reach my dorm room , dorm number 78.
I quickly open the door and head straight to the bathroom .
"Hello to you too Maya ," Jasmine , my roomate , shouts from the dressing table as she curls her red hair .
We aern't as close as we used to be because Im always spending the night at dorm number 31.

"You zhont have cyass first period ?" I shout back my words barely coherent with all the toothpaste in my mouth. I brush my blond curls at the same time trying to save as much time as i can

"I cant hear you , and you know this ," she sighs

"Do you have class first period ?" I ask my mouth empty this time as i put on my shower cap and step into the shower.

"Oh yeah no i dont , i have literature till third period ," she laughs . Am i seriously the only person who has class first period ?
I finish in the shower really quickly and opt to wear my purple skirt with a long sleeve shirt and black sneakers and my blue half jersey offcourse.

"Ill see you later Jas ," i smile

"Dorm number 31 tonight ?" she laughs

"I would hope not ," i laugh back , grabbing my backpack from my unslept in bed and head out running down the stairs really quick but not quick enough to fall , i get to the biology lab with 7 minutes to spare.
I see sitting by himself at the back , his unpacking his books , i guess im not the only one with first period , i forgot about him for a minute .

I go over to wear he sits "Good morning, " i smile

"Hey," he smiles back .

"You're actually late , let me guess ?" He starts .

"No dont guess , i already told you where i was gonna be so lets drop the subject ," i say quickly so he doesn't interrupt me .

"Im not gonna lecture you , relax " he gives me an intense look until i break eye contact .
I always break eye contact first , it makes me feel funny .

"Okay fine , but i dont get why its always on and off with this guy ," i sigh.

"You want my input ?" He asks

"No not really , i dont usually like your input cause you're always right and right now i just wanna vent ."

"So vent ," he says getting out his notebook .

I take a deep breath " its just that when we aern't together things are so perfect and then we get together and everything gets complicated and  then we break up again and then he calls me over and we repeat the cycle ."

"Girls like you aern't meant for boarding school , you're turning 18 and stuff but mmm ,"

"What does that mean ?" I know me asking this is gonna lead to a lecture but he can't just be saying cryptic things and expect me not to say anything.

He looks directly at me " what is it that you really want the guy to do ? You get back together because you want that and you initiate it ," i interrupt him before he finishes .

"Cause i can't just be having sex with someone im not dating ," i sigh .

"Whose forcing you to have sex anyways ? Thats not what being at boarding school is all about , go to parties , have fun with your friends , some of us dont even see you anymore,"

"Okay fine lets just change the subject okay ?" I say irritated .

"Awww did i irritate you ?" He laughs brushing a lose hair behind my ear .

"You always irritate me," i scoff and he just smiles .
