The Old Girl - Sequel -

30 : Starbucks

Danielle | Class

It was about 2:30 and I had only 30 minutes of class left. I could barely focus because my mind was on Skylar.

I fucked up bad. I understand she was mad but she didnt have to break up with me. I was hoping that we could've gotten past that, we could return back to normal but I guess there is no returning back to normal after going out with an ex who was your first love.

??: Danielle?

I looked up into the eyes of my teacher.

Me: Oh yes ma'am?

Teacher: Let's go talk in the hallway.

Me: Okay.

I got up and followed her out of the classroom and into the hallway.

Me: Yes ma'am?

Teacher: Are you feeling okay? I've noticed that you've zoned in and out today and I'm not talking about once or twice. Im talking like four or five times.

Me: Oh um yeah. I'm just going through something right now and it has me sort of messed up in the head.

The teacher nodded her head.

Teacher: Okay. I understand but this is college sweetie. You cant afford to zone in and out as many times and you do.

Me: I know and Im sorry.

Teacher: Do you need to take the afternoon?

Me: No no no. I'll be fine.

Teacher: Are you sure?

Me: Yes. Im positive.

Teacher: Okay. If you need anything, let me know.

Me: I will.

We went back into the class and I began my work, pushing my ex-girlfriend worries to the back of my mind.

4:12 | Starbucks

I pulled in and parked near the end in some shade. I grabbed my wallet and got out. I locked my doors and walked in. I spotted Ariyanah and walked over to her.

Me: Hey. Your the only one here?

Ariyanah: Hey and no Anna is in the bathroom.

Me: Oh okay. What about Jayda?

Ariyanah: On her way.

Me: Okay then. I'll be back.

Ariyanah: Okay.

I went and stood in the line. Pretty soon it was my turn to order.

Man: What can I get you?

Me: One chocolate chip cookie and a cinnamon dolce latte please.

I got my total and paid.

Man: Here's your oder. Have a nice day.

I smiled and got my order then walked to the booth where Anna and Ariyanah sat at and on the same side.

Me: Damn. Jayda still isnt here.

??: Better late then never.

I smiled at the voice that belonged to Jayda.

Me: I guess so.

She sat down beside me and dropped her keys on the table.

Jayda: So what's happening?

Ariyanah: Yeah whats going on?

I texted the three of them to meet me here so I could vent.

Me: I need to vent.
