Fragile: Must Handle With Care

Chapter 9: I'm- I'm Sorry

*Nine Days Later*

🛍 Sophia's POV 🛍

I've pretty much spent my entire week in bed. I didn't want to see anyone apart from Hannah, so I literally only kept contact with her because she's my bestie for life and I cannot live without her.

I haven't left my dorm in about a week because I don't want to have an encounter with Alex. I am still so pissed at him because of what he said. I know he didn't mean it in that way but when something has physically, emotionally and mentally hurting you for like a year, even petty inconsequential 'jokes' hurt like crazy.

On a happier note, Tyler hasn't been torturing me either, which is highly abnormal of him not to touch me but we all know what curiosity did to the cat.

I'm going back to class today after five days worth of absences so hopefully I haven't missed out on much.

After I get out of bed, I shower and change into some fresh clothes. I drink some orange juice whilst I look at my timetable for today via my email: Economics, all day. Great. I have to spend the entire day with that jerk. Hopefully he won't come. Maybe I shouldn't go again today; that's kind of mean of me to leave him and do all of the work but this is Alex I'm talking about, I bet he hasn't done anything.

Whilst I'm still contemplating my day plan, I get a knock at the door. Judging by the knocking style, I'm guessing it's Hannah. She just knocks in her own Hannah way, when I say 'Hannah way', I mean she knocks to the tune of Bella's Lullaby from Twilight. Which is really weird but hey Hannah wouldn't be Hannah if she wasn't weird.

I rush to the door and I open it with full swing. I'm not entirely sure why.

"Hey Bitch" I say in obviously a jokey way, I'm not an Alex, I call people with respect apart from him of course, who shows respect to the dirt at the bottom of their shoe?

"HIYAAAA" Hannah screams.

"Wow Han, you seem.... Excited?".

"HAPPY, ECSTATIC, BLESSED".

"Blessed? You're confusing me Boo".

"Sam had a girl!!!!" Hannah starts jumping up and down.

"NO WAY! CONGRATS HANNAH I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!" I give Hannah a hug full of happiness! Sam is Hannah's sister and she's been trying for a baby for nearly five years so to hear that she delivered
a baby girl is beyond perfect news.

"I'm so sorry to break this happy moment but we should get going".

"Right right lets go Hun".

Hannah tells me all about Sam's delivery and how happy her family were when they told her she was now an aunt. I honestly could not be any happier for Hannah. She deserves every single ounce of happiness that comes her way.

We enter our Economics class and Hannah goes to her partner and I spot Alex, my own personal pain in the ass.

He is writing something down on his notebook. Wow he brought it... Finally.
I reluctantly walk over to our table and I set my bag on the chair next to me. As soon as I do this, Alex looks up at me, we make eye contact. His chocolate brown eyes and my aqua blue eyes make an interesting connection, a weird one might I add. As soon as I snap out of it and I look down, almost certain not to talk to him.
