Mason

Part 21: Stanford

"I'm going to be outside." I say getting up, rushing out to answer the call "Trisha?" I say

"Hey." She says "you're going to have to dispose of this phone. Write down my number and Lances and throw it away or smash it." She said

"Okay. I have to go my classes are about to start." I say and hang up. I go back in and write her and Lances number down and break the phone

"Woah, what the hell?" She asks

"I need to get my anger out." I said and threw the phone in the trash.

"What are your classes?" She asks

"I have Mr. Baxter, Mrs. Patt, Mrs. Long, and Mr. Rouge." I say

"Oh cool, we have all the same classes in order too." She says

"Fun." I say

"Let's go. You're going to have to tell the classes stupid things about yourself." She laughs "just like fucking elementary." She said. I put food in Aniease's bowl and we leave with our books

"I have to tell people about myself?" I ask

"Yeah." She says "I have to go to my locker." She said "I think yours is next to me too?" She said

"Yeah it is." I say pointing at my locker and opening it. She opens hers and we put our books in there and grab the ones we need. I hang up that ultra sound pic from Trisha, we go to our first class and we sit next to each other.

"We have a new person joining us." Baxter says walking in "what's your name again?" He asks

"It's Elena." I say

"Pretty name. Anyways tell us about yourself." He said and I got my words caught in my throat

"There's nothing special about me Professor Baxter." I said "or interesting anyone should know about."

"Well, you're easy." He said "anyways, let's get this going." He says.

"Baxter says anyways a lot." I tell Amber when we get to our lockers again

"No kidding." She says

"Hey, you're the new girl, right?" A guy comes up and asks me "I'm Ash." He smiles

"Cool." I say putting my books up, Amber stays next to me.

"You know, you look a lot like this one girl all over the news!" He says "I think her name was Emma?" He thinks

"I don't know who you're talking about." I say getting nervous

"You kind of look like her." He said "is that your baby?" He asks

"No, it's my friends." I say and shut my locker

"Is it a girl or a boy?" He asks

"You ask too many questions." I say and me and Amber start walking

"He's annoying." Amber said and I laughed "he's going to try and get all up inside you." She said laughing

"Gross, that's not happening." I said "maybe? I don't think dating is for me." I say remembering Mason.

"Why not?" She asks

"Because love is fake." I say seriously

"Why don't we go to a party tonight?" She says

"Please." I say and she smiles.

We walk into our dorm and Aniease comes up to me, I pick her up and pet her.
