I follow the teaching, and the day goes by normally.
After a while I need go to the bathroom.
So I go.
When I finish and wash my hands and face when I look up I see Neveah standing behind me and "AHH!" I scream
"Woah... Are you okay?I'm so sorry" she laughs
"Yeah I'm fine" I exhale in relief
"Anyway girl, last night was Crazy" she says
"Right" I say
"What's wrong?" She asks
"Nothing" I say
"Girl, stop playin with me. Was it Alex"
"No it's just...im tired"
There's a silence
I clear throat
"Alright"
"Okay but what about you? What happen𝑑 last night"
"Nothing actually, I just went to grab some food with Lucas
"right, what's the deal with you two anyways? You guys dating? "
"Not exactly but-"
"Not exactly!?" Grace says barging out of one of the toilets.
Turns out she's been listening to this conversation this whole time
"GRACE?" We both say in sync
"Whatever, did you finish your proje-" and before Grace could finish her sentence another girl walks out of one of the toilets.
We awkwardly wait for her to wash her hands. And she purposely takes out a makeup bag fixing her lashes, smiles and leave the bathroom.
I swallow.
We awkwardly stare at each other.
"As I was saying, did you finish your project?"
"Um.. Not yet we still have 2days, I only have one last page to write"
"Alright, well we should go back to class"
"Yeah.. We should" I say as we head back
As I'm walking i bump into a guy
"Hey I'm sorry" I say as I drop his notes
"It's fine he" says staring in my eyes as I help him
"Um... What's your name?" He asks
"Uh... Olivia, Olivia Johnson" I say giving him a handshake
"I'm chase"
"Well, what are you um.. studying?" I ask
"Oh um, Law" he says
"Wow you must be really smart huh"
"Ahaha I wouldn't say extremely, but kind of?" he chuckles
"Well um... I should head to class"
"Wait" he says
"Yes?"
"we should... Um... Go out some times grab some lunch?"
"Oh I ca-" before I finish I think for a second.
I'm not dating anyone, I am completely available...the heck. So
"Yeah actually, I would LOVE to go out with you some time"
"Alright then, can I have your number" he asks as I give him.
"Okay. it was nice meeting you Olivia"
"You too"
After I finished all classes I start walking my way outside.
My phone buzzes.
It's an unknown number.
This time I pick it up thinking it was Nicolas but...no... It's Carter
"Miss me hot stuff?"
As he says those words, I look around to see if I notice Carter anywhere
"What do you want Carter?" I ask
"I want you- you back" he says in his drunk voice
"you're drunk... Like always. look Carter I've moved on, from you and everything, I have someone now and you need to stay the heck away from me" I say angrily
"Woah, woah now, what did you say? You got somebody?.. Hahaaha- i'm coming for you sweet-"
Before he could finish his sentence I hang up.
But my phone buzzes again and I pick it up.
"Look douchebag, if you call my phone again, I'm gonna call the police, so why don't you leave me the heck alone before I stick a broom up your drunk ass-" before I could finish my sentence I hear a soft deep voice on the phone
"Olivia?"
It's Alex.
OH CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP
"OH Alex" I say trying to make him forget about what I just said
"Are you okay? Where are you?"
"I'm...in front of the school" I say squeezing my face.
In just a few minutes Alex arrives.
"Hey-" I say but before I could finish greeting him he asks
"Who called you?"
"Oh, it's jus-"
"Don't lie" he says
I hesitate.
"Um... My ex" I say looking trying to avoid eye contact.
"Is he bothering you?" He asks as I don't answer.
"No, it's nothing"
"If he's bothering you just-"
"Why does it matter to you?" I say crossing my arms walking away as he follows me
"Olivia, is this about last night?, I already told you I'm sorry"
"Look, I don't want to talk to you okay? I don't want to be friends or whatever. Listen, meeting you again was a mistake.
So let's just pretend we don't know each other"
"You don't mean that Olivia"
"I'm sorry but that's how I feel" I walk away a but he grabs my waist pulling me closer to him
"What are you-"
"I know how you feel" he says
"I'm sorry" I say taking his hands off my waist and walk away
I felt a bit of sadness knowing that we will be going back to being strangers.
That day past and so did the other.
We presentated our project and the week went on without saying a word to each other.
I never thought my first 2weeks here in college would be so crazy.
I mean can it get any crazier?
